?sytrd

Reduces a real symmetric matrix to tridiagonal form.

Syntax

lapack_int LAPACKE_ssytrd (int matrix_layout, char uplo, lapack_int n, float* a, lapack_int lda, float* d, float* e, float* tau);

lapack_int LAPACKE_dsytrd (int matrix_layout, char uplo, lapack_int n, double* a, lapack_int lda, double* d, double* e, double* tau);

Description

The routine reduces a real symmetric matrix A to symmetric tridiagonal form T by an orthogonal similarity transformation: A = Q*T*Q^T. The orthogonal matrix Q is not formed explicitly but is represented as a product of n-1 elementary reflectors. Routines are provided for working with Q in this representation (see Application Notes below).

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

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

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

If uplo = 'U', a stores the upper triangular part of A.

If uplo = 'L', a stores the lower triangular part of A.

n

The order of the matrix A (n≥ 0).

a

a (size max(1, lda*n)) is an array containing either upper or lower triangular part of the matrix A, as specified by uplo. If uplo = 'U', the leading n-by-n upper triangular part of a contains the upper triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower triangular part of A is not referenced. If uplo = 'L', the leading n-by-n lower triangular part of a contains the lower triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced.

lda

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

Output Parameters

a

On exit,

if uplo = 'U', the diagonal and first superdiagonal of A are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements above the first superdiagonal, with the array tau, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors;

if uplo = 'L', the diagonal and first subdiagonal of A are overwritten by the corresponding elements of the tridiagonal matrix T, and the elements below the first subdiagonal, with the array tau, represent the orthogonal matrix Q as a product of elementary reflectors.

d, e, tau

Arrays:

d contains the diagonal elements of the matrix T.

The size of d must be at least max(1, n).

e contains the off-diagonal elements of T.

The size of e must be at least max(1, n-1).

tau stores (n-1) scalars that define elementary reflectors in decomposition of the orthogonal matrix Q in a product of n-1 elementary reflectors. tau(n) is used as workspace.

The size of tau must be at least max(1, n).

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 matrix T is exactly similar to a 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 is (4/3)n³.

After calling this routine, you can call the following:

orgtr: to form the computed matrix Q explicitly
ormtr: to multiply a real matrix by Q.

The complex counterpart of this routine is ?hetrd.
