?syevd

Computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, all eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix using divide and conquer algorithm.

Syntax

call ssyevd(jobz, uplo, n, a, lda, w, work, lwork, iwork, liwork, info)

call dsyevd(jobz, uplo, n, a, lda, w, work, lwork, iwork, liwork, info)

call syevd(a, w [,jobz] [,uplo] [,info])

Description

The routine computes all the eigenvalues, and optionally all the eigenvectors, of a real symmetric matrix A. In other words, it can compute the spectral factorization of A as: A = Z*λ*Z^T.

Here Λ is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues λ_i, and Z is the orthogonal matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors z_i. Thus,

A*z_i = λ_i*z_i for i = 1, 2, ..., n.

If the eigenvectors are requested, then this routine uses a divide and conquer algorithm to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, if only eigenvalues are required, then it uses the Pal-Walker-Kahan variant of the QL or QR algorithm.

Note that for most cases of real symmetric eigenvalue problems the default choice should be syevr function as its underlying algorithm is faster and uses less workspace. ?syevd requires more workspace but is faster in some cases, especially for large matrices.

Input Parameters

jobz

CHARACTER*1. Must be 'N' or 'V'.

If jobz = 'N', then only eigenvalues are computed.

If jobz = 'V', then eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

uplo

CHARACTER*1. 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

INTEGER. The order of the matrix A (n≥ 0).

a

REAL for ssyevd

DOUBLE PRECISION for dsyevd

Array, size (lda, *).

a(lda,*) is an array containing either upper or lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix A, as specified by uplo.

The second dimension of a must be at least max(1, n).

lda

INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array a.

Must be at least max(1, n).

work

REAL for ssyevd

DOUBLE PRECISION for dsyevd.

Workspace array, size at least lwork.

lwork

INTEGER.

The dimension of the array work.

Constraints:

if n≤ 1, then lwork≥ 1;

if jobz = 'N' and n > 1, then lwork≥ 2*n + 1;

if jobz = 'V' and n > 1, then lwork≥ 2*n²+ 6*n + 1.

If lwork = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the required sizes of the work and iwork arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the work and iwork arrays, and no error message related to lwork or liwork is issued by xerbla. See Application Notes for details.

iwork

INTEGER.

Workspace array, its dimension max(1, liwork).

liwork

INTEGER.

The dimension of the array iwork.

Constraints:

if n≤ 1, then liwork≥ 1;

if jobz = 'N' and n > 1, then liwork≥ 1;

if jobz = 'V' and n > 1, then liwork≥ 5*n + 3.

If liwork = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the required sizes of the work and iwork arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the work and iwork arrays, and no error message related to lwork or liwork is issued by xerbla. See Application Notes for details.

Output Parameters

w

REAL for ssyevd

DOUBLE PRECISION for dsyevd

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

If info = 0, contains the eigenvalues of the matrix A in ascending order. See also info.

a

If jobz = 'V', then on exit this array is overwritten by the orthogonal matrix Z which contains the eigenvectors of A.

work(1)

On exit, if lwork > 0, then work(1) returns the required minimal size of lwork.

iwork(1)

On exit, if liwork > 0, then iwork(1) returns the required minimal size of liwork.

info

INTEGER.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

If info = i, and jobz = 'N', then the algorithm failed to converge; i indicates the number of off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form which did not converge to zero.

If info = i, and jobz = 'V', then the algorithm failed to compute an eigenvalue while working on the submatrix lying in rows and columns info/(n+1) through mod(info,n+1).

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

LAPACK 95 Interface Notes

Routines in Fortran 95 interface have fewer arguments in the calling sequence than their FORTRAN 77 counterparts. For general conventions applied to skip redundant or restorable arguments, see LAPACK 95 Interface Conventions.

Specific details for the routine syevd interface are the following:

a: Holds the matrix A of size (n, n).
w: Holds the vector of length n.
jobz: Must be 'N' or 'V'. The default value is 'N'.
uplo: Must be 'U' or 'L'. The default value is 'U'.

Application Notes

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a matrix A+E such that ||E||₂ = O(ε)*||A||₂, where ε is the machine precision.

If it is not clear how much workspace to supply, use a generous value of lwork (or liwork) for the first run, or set lwork = -1 (liwork = -1).

If lwork (or liwork) has any of admissible sizes, which is no less than the minimal value described, then the routine completes the task, though probably not so fast as with a recommended workspace, and provides the recommended workspace in the first element of the corresponding array (work, iwork) on exit. Use this value (work(1), iwork(1)) for subsequent runs.

If lwork = -1 (liwork = -1), then the routine returns immediately and provides the recommended workspace in the first element of the corresponding array (work, iwork). This operation is called a workspace query.

Note that if lwork (liwork) is less than the minimal required value and is not equal to -1, then the routine returns immediately with an error exit and does not provide any information on the recommended workspace.
