naginterfaces.library.sparseig.real_symm_iter(irevcm, resid, v, x, mx, comm, io_manager=None)

real_symm_iter is an iterative solver in a suite of functions consisting of real_symm_init(), real_symm_iter, real_symm_proc(), real_symm_option() and real_symm_monit(). It is used to find some of the eigenvalues (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors) of a standard or generalized eigenvalue problem defined by real symmetric matrices.

Returns

irevcmint

On intermediate exit: has the following meanings.

$irevcm=-1$

The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product $y=op\left(x\right)$, where $x$ is stored in $x$ (by default) or in the array $comm$[‘comm’] (starting from the location given by the first element of $comm$[‘icomm’]) when the option $\text{‘Pointers'}=\text{'YES'}$ is set in a prior call to real_symm_option(). The result $y$ is returned in $x$ (by default) or in the array $comm$[‘comm’] (starting from the location given by the second element of $comm$[‘icomm’]) when the option $\text{‘Pointers'}=\text{'YES'}$ is set.

$irevcm=1$

The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product $y=op\left(x\right)$. This is similar to the case $irevcm=-1$ except that the result of the matrix-vector product $Bx$ (as required in some computational modes) has already been computed and is available in $mx$ (by default) or in the array $comm$[‘comm’] (starting from the location given by the third element of $comm$[‘icomm’]) when the option $\text{‘Pointers'}=\text{'YES'}$ is set.

$irevcm=2$

The calling program must compute the matrix-vector product $y=Bx$, where $x$ is stored in $x$ and $y$ is returned in $mx$ (by default) or in the array $comm$[‘comm’] (starting from the location given by the second element of $comm$[‘icomm’]) when the option $\text{‘Pointers'}=\text{'YES'}$ is set.

$irevcm=3$

Compute the $nshift$ real and imaginary parts of the shifts where the real parts are to be returned in the first $nshift$ locations of the array $x$ and the imaginary parts are to be returned in the first $nshift$ locations of the array $mx$. Only complex conjugate pairs of shifts may be applied and the pairs must be placed in consecutive locations. This value of $irevcm$ will only arise if the option ‘Supplied Shifts’ is set in a prior call to real_symm_option() which is intended for experienced users only; the default and recommended option is to use exact shifts (see Lehoucq et al. (1998) for details and guidance on the choice of shift strategies).

$irevcm=4$

Monitoring step: a call to real_symm_monit() can now be made to return the number of Arnoldi iterations, the number of converged Ritz values, their real and imaginary parts, and the corresponding Ritz estimates.

On final exit: $irevcm=5$: real_symm_iter has completed its tasks. The value of $\text{errno}$ determines whether the iteration has been successfully completed, or whether errors have been detected. On successful completion real_symm_proc() must be called to return the requested eigenvalues and eigenvectors (and/or Schur vectors).

nshiftint

On intermediate exit: if the option ‘Supplied Shifts’ is set and $irevcm$ returns a value of $3$, $nshift$ returns the number of complex shifts required.

Raises

NagValueError

(errno $1$)

The maximum number of iterations $\le 0$, the option ‘Iteration Limit’ has been set to $⟨value⟩$.

(errno $2$)

The options ‘Generalized’ and ‘Regular’ are incompatible.

(errno $3$)

Eigenvalues from both ends of the spectrum were requested, but the number of eigenvalues (see $\text{nev}$ in real_symm_init()) requested is one.

(errno $4$)

The option ‘Initial Residual’ was selected but the starting vector held in $resid$ is zero.

(errno $6$)

No shifts could be applied during a cycle of the implicitly restarted Lanczos iteration.

(errno $7$)

Could not build a Lanczos factorization. The size of the current Lanczos factorization $=⟨value⟩$.

(errno $8$)

Error in internal call to compute eigenvalues and corresponding error bounds of the current upper Hessenberg matrix. Please contact NAG.

(errno $9$)

Either the function was called without an initial call to the setup function or the communication arrays have become corrupted.

Warns

NagAlgorithmicWarning

(errno $5$)

The maximum number of iterations has been reached. The maximum number of $\text{iterations}=⟨value⟩$. The number of converged eigenvalues $=⟨value⟩$. See the function document for further details.

Notes

The suite of functions is designed to calculate some of the eigenvalues, $\lambda$, (and optionally the corresponding eigenvectors, $x$) of a standard eigenvalue problem $Ax=\lambda x$, or of a generalized eigenvalue problem $Ax=\lambda Bx$ of order $n$, where $n$ is large and the coefficient matrices $A$ and $B$ are sparse, real and symmetric. The suite can also be used to find selected eigenvalues/eigenvectors of smaller scale dense, real and symmetric problems.

real_symm_iter is a reverse communication function, based on the ARPACK routine dsaupd, using the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi iteration method, which for symmetric problems reduces to a variant of the Lanczos method. The method is described in Lehoucq and Sorensen (1996) and Lehoucq (2001) while its use within the ARPACK software is described in great detail in Lehoucq et al. (1998). An evaluation of software for computing eigenvalues of sparse symmetric matrices is provided in Lehoucq and Scott (1996). This suite of functions offers the same functionality as the ARPACK software for real symmetric problems, but the interface design is quite different in order to make the option setting clearer and to simplify the interface of real_symm_iter.

The setup function real_symm_init() must be called before real_symm_iter, the reverse communication iterative solver. Options may be set for real_symm_iter by prior calls to the option setting function real_symm_option() and a post-processing function real_symm_proc() must be called following a successful final exit from real_symm_iter. real_symm_monit(), may be called following certain flagged, intermediate exits from real_symm_iter to provide additional monitoring information about the computation.

real_symm_iter uses reverse communication, i.e., it returns repeatedly to the calling program with the argument $irevcm$ (see Parameters) set to specified values which require the calling program to carry out one of the following tasks:

• compute the matrix-vector product $y=op\left(x\right)$, where $op$ is defined by the computational mode;

• compute the matrix-vector product $y=Bx$;

• notify the completion of the computation;

• allow the calling program to monitor the solution.

The problem type to be solved (standard or generalized), the spectrum of eigenvalues of interest, the mode used (regular, regular inverse, shifted inverse, Buckling or Cayley) and other options can all be set using the option setting function real_symm_option().
