Description

The routine reduces a general matrix A to upper Hessenberg form H by an orthogonal or unitary similarity transformation A = Q*H*QH. Here H has real subdiagonal elements.

The routine does not form the matrix Q explicitly. Instead, Q is represented as a product of elementary reflectors. Routines are provided to work with Q in this representation.

Input Parameters
matrix_layout

Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).

n

The order of the matrix A (n 0).

ilo, ihi

If A is an output by ?gebal, then ilo and ihi must contain the values returned by that routine. Otherwise ilo = 1 and ihi = n. (If n > 0, then 1 iloihin; if n = 0, ilo = 1 and ihi = 0.)

a

Arrays:

a (size max(1, lda*n)) contains the matrix A.

lda

The leading dimension of a; at least max(1, n).

Output Parameters
a

The elements on and above the subdiagonal contain the upper Hessenberg matrix H. The subdiagonal elements of H are real. The elements below the subdiagonal, with the array tau, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of n elementary reflectors.

tau

Array, size at least max (1, n-1).

Contains scalars that define elementary reflectors for the matrix Q.

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

If info=0, the execution is successful.

If info = -i, the i-th parameter had an illegal value.

Application Notes

The computed Hessenberg matrix H is exactly similar to a nearby matrix A + E, where ||E||2 < c(n)ε||A||2, c(n) is a modestly increasing function of n, and ε is the machine precision.

The approximate number of floating-point operations for real flavors is (2/3)*(ihi - ilo)2(2ihi + 2ilo + 3n); for complex flavors it is 4 times greater.
