?hegv

Computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a complex generalized Hermitian positive-definite eigenproblem.

Syntax

lapack_int LAPACKE_chegv( int matrix_layout, lapack_int itype, char jobz, char uplo, lapack_int n, lapack_complex_float* a, lapack_int lda, lapack_complex_float* b, lapack_int ldb, float* w );

lapack_int LAPACKE_zhegv( int matrix_layout, lapack_int itype, char jobz, char uplo, lapack_int n, lapack_complex_double* a, lapack_int lda, lapack_complex_double* b, lapack_int ldb, double* w );

Description

The routine computes all the eigenvalues, and optionally, the eigenvectors of a complex generalized Hermitian positive-definite eigenproblem, of the form

A*x = λ*B*x, A*B*x = λ*x, or B*A*x = λ*x.

Here A and B are assumed to be Hermitian and B is also positive definite.

Input Parameters
matrix_layout

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

itype

Must be 1 or 2 or 3. Specifies the problem type to be solved:

if itype = 1, the problem type is A*x = lambda*B*x;

if itype = 2, the problem type is A*B*x = lambda*x;

if itype = 3, the problem type is B*A*x = lambda*x.

jobz

Must be 'N' or 'V'.

If jobz = 'N', then compute eigenvalues only.

If jobz = 'V', then compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

If uplo = 'U', arrays a and b store the upper triangles of A and B;

If uplo = 'L', arrays a and b store the lower triangles of A and B.

n

The order of the matrices A and B (n 0).

a, b

Arrays:

a (size at least max(1, lda*n)) contains the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian matrix A, as specified by uplo.

b (size at least max(1, ldb*n)) contains the upper or lower triangle of the Hermitian positive definite matrix B, as specified by uplo.

lda

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

ldb

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

Output Parameters
a

On exit, if jobz = 'V', then if info = 0, a contains the matrix Z of eigenvectors. The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:

if itype = 1 or 2, ZH*B*Z = I;

if itype = 3, ZH*inv(B)*Z = I;

If jobz = 'N', then on exit the upper triangle (if uplo = 'U') or the lower triangle (if uplo = 'L') of A, including the diagonal, is destroyed.

b

On exit, if infon, the part of b containing the matrix is overwritten by the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization B = UH*U or B = L*LH.

w

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

If info = 0, contains the eigenvalues in ascending order.

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.

If info > 0, cpotrf/zpotrf or cheev/zheev return an error code:

If info = in, cheev/zheev fails to converge, and i off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal do not converge to zero;

If info = n + i, for 1 in, then the leading minor of order i of B is not positive-definite. The factorization of B can not be completed and no eigenvalues or eigenvectors are computed.
