?syev

Computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix.

Syntax

call dsyev(jobz, uplo, n, a, lda, w, work, lwork, info)

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

Description

The routine computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix A.

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.

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, work

REAL for ssyev

DOUBLE PRECISION for dsyev

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).

work is a workspace array, its dimension max(1, lwork).

lda

INTEGER. The leading dimension of the array a.

Must be at least max(1, n).

lwork

INTEGER.

The dimension of the array work.

Constraint: lwork≥ max(1, 3n-1).

If lwork = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine only calculates the optimal size of the work array, returns this value as the first entry of the work array, and no error message related to lwork is issued by xerbla.

See Application Notes for the suggested value of lwork.

Output Parameters

a

On exit, if jobz = 'V', then if info = 0, array a contains the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A.

If jobz = 'N', then on exit the lower triangle

(if uplo = 'L') or the upper triangle (if uplo = 'U') of A, including the diagonal, is overwritten.

w

REAL for ssyev

DOUBLE PRECISION for dsyev

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

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

work(1)

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

info

INTEGER.

If info = 0, the execution is successful.

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

If info = i, then the algorithm failed to converge; i indicates the number of elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form which did not converge to zero.

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 syev interface are the following:

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

Application Notes

For optimum performance set lwork≥ (nb+2)*n, where nb is the blocksize for ?sytrd returned by ilaenv.

If you are in doubt how much workspace to supply, use a generous value of lwork for the first run or set lwork = -1.

If you choose the first option and set any of admissible lwork sizes, which is no less than the minimal value described, 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 on exit. Use this value (work(1)) for subsequent runs.

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

Note that if you set lwork to less than the minimal required value and not -1, the routine returns immediately with an error exit and does not provide any information on the recommended workspace.

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

If lwork 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 on exit. Use this value (work(1)) for subsequent runs.

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

Note that if lwork 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.
