Purpose

f08nbf (dgeevx) computes the eigenvalues and, optionally, the left and/or right eigenvectors for an n by n real nonsymmetric matrix A.
Optionally, it also computes a balancing transformation to improve the conditioning of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, reciprocal condition numbers for the eigenvalues, and reciprocal condition numbers for the right eigenvectors.

Description

The right eigenvector vj of A satisfies
A vj = λj vj  
where λj is the jth eigenvalue of A. The left eigenvector uj of A satisfies
ujH A = λj ujH  
where ujH denotes the conjugate transpose of uj.
Balancing a matrix means permuting the rows and columns to make it more nearly upper triangular, and applying a diagonal similarity transformation DAD-1, where D is a diagonal matrix, with the aim of making its rows and columns closer in norm and the condition numbers of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors smaller. The computed reciprocal condition numbers correspond to the balanced matrix. Permuting rows and columns will not change the condition numbers (in exact arithmetic) but diagonal scaling will. For further explanation of balancing, see Section 4.8.1.2 of Anderson et al. (1999).
Following the optional balancing, the matrix A is first reduced to upper Hessenberg form by means of unitary similarity transformations, and the QR algorithm is then used to further reduce the matrix to upper triangular Schur form, T, from which the eigenvalues are computed. Optionally, the eigenvectors of T are also computed and backtransformed to those of A.

Arguments

1:     balanc – Character(1)Input
On entry: indicates how the input matrix should be diagonally scaled and/or permuted to improve the conditioning of its eigenvalues.
balanc='N'
Do not diagonally scale or permute.
balanc='P'
Perform permutations to make the matrix more nearly upper triangular. Do not diagonally scale.
balanc='S'
Diagonally scale the matrix, i.e., replace A by DAD-1, where D is a diagonal matrix chosen to make the rows and columns of A more equal in norm. Do not permute.
balanc='B'
Both diagonally scale and permute A.
Computed reciprocal condition numbers will be for the matrix after balancing and/or permuting. Permuting does not change condition numbers (in exact arithmetic), but balancing does.
Constraint: balanc='N', 'P', 'S' or 'B'.
2:     jobvl – Character(1)Input
On entry: if jobvl='N', the left eigenvectors of A are not computed.
If jobvl='V', the left eigenvectors of A are computed.
If sense='E' or 'B', jobvl must be set to jobvl='V'.
Constraint: jobvl='N' or 'V'.
3:     jobvr – Character(1)Input
On entry: if jobvr='N', the right eigenvectors of A are not computed.
If jobvr='V', the right eigenvectors of A are computed.
If sense='E' or 'B', jobvr must be set to jobvr='V'.

Computed for eigenvalues and right eigenvectors.
If sense='E' or 'B', both left and right eigenvectors must also be computed (jobvl='V' and jobvr='V').
Constraint: sense='N', 'E', 'V' or 'B'.
5:     n – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n0.
6:     alda* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the second dimension of the array a must be at least max1,n.
On entry: the n by n matrix A.
On exit: a has been overwritten. If jobvl='V' or jobvr='V', A contains the real Schur form of the balanced version of the input matrix A.
7:     lda – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array a as declared in the (sub)program from which f08nbf (dgeevx) is called.

On exit: wr and wi contain the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of the computed eigenvalues. Complex conjugate pairs of eigenvalues appear consecutively with the eigenvalue having the positive imaginary part first.
10:   vlldvl* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array vl must be at least max1,n if jobvl='V', and at least 1 otherwise.
On exit: if jobvl='V', the left eigenvectors uj are stored one after another in the columns of vl, in the same order as their corresponding eigenvalues. If the jth eigenvalue is real, then uj=vl:j, the jth column of vl. If the jth and j+1st eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then uj=vl:j+i×vl:j+1 and uj+1=vl:j-i×vl:j+1.
If jobvl='N', vl is not referenced.
11:   ldvl – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array vl as declared in the (sub)program from which f08nbf (dgeevx) is called.
Constraints:
  • if jobvl='V', ldvl max1,n ;
  • otherwise ldvl1.
12:   vrldvr* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array vr must be at least max1,n if jobvr='V', and at least 1 otherwise.

If the jth eigenvalue is real, then vj=vr:j, the jth column of vr. If the jth and j+1st eigenvalues form a complex conjugate pair, then vj=vr:j+i×vr:j+1 and vj+1=vr:j-i×vr:j+1.
If jobvr='N', vr is not referenced.
13:   ldvr – IntegerInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array vr as declared in the (sub)program from which f08nbf (dgeevx) is called.
Constraints:

14:   ilo – IntegerOutput
15:   ihi – IntegerOutput

16:   scale* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the dimension of the array scale must be at least max1,n.
On exit: details of the permutations and scaling factors applied when balancing A.
If pj is the index of the row and column interchanged with row and column j, and dj is the scaling factor applied to row and column j, then
  • scalej=pj, for j=1,2,,ilo-1;
  • scalej=dj, for j=ilo,,ihi;
  • scalej=pj, for j=ihi+1,,n.
The order in which the interchanges are made is n to ihi+1, then 1 to ilo-1.

20:   workmax1,lwork – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
On exit: if info=0, work1 contains the minimum value of lwork required for optimal performance.
21:   lwork – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array work as declared in the (sub)program from which f08nbf (dgeevx) is called.
If lwork=-1, 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.
Suggested value: for optimal performance, lwork must generally be larger than the minimum, increase lwork by, say, n×nb , where nb  is the optimal block size for f08nef (dgehrd).

    • if sense='N' or 'E', lworkmax1,3×n;
    • otherwise lworkmax1,n2+6×n.
22:   iwork* – Integer arrayWorkspace
Note: the dimension of the array iwork must be at least max1,2×n-1.
If sense='N' or 'E', iwork is not referenced.
23:   info – IntegerOutput
On exit: info=0 unless the routine detects an error (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

info<0
If info=-i, argument i had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
info>0
If info=i, the QR algorithm failed to compute all the eigenvalues, and no eigenvectors or condition numbers have been computed; elements 1:ilo-1 and i+1:n of wr and wi contain eigenvalues which have converged.

Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix A+E, where
E2 = Oε A2 ,  
and ε is the machine precision. See Section 4.8 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Parallelism and Performance

f08nbf (dgeevx) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08nbf (dgeevx) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

Each eigenvector is normalized to have Euclidean norm equal to unity and the element of largest absolute value real.
The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to n3.
The complex analogue of this routine is f08npf (zgeevx).

Example

This example finds all the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors of the matrix
A = 0.35 0.45 -0.14 -0.17 0.09 0.07 -0.54 0.35 -0.44 -0.33 -0.03 0.17 0.25 -0.32 -0.13 0.11 ,  
together with estimates of the condition number and forward error bounds for each eigenvalue and eigenvector. The option to balance the matrix is used. In order to compute the condition numbers of the eigenvalues, the left eigenvectors also have to be computed, but they are not printed out in this example.
Note that the block size (NB) of 64 assumed in this example is not realistic for such a small problem, but should be suitable for large problems.
