Description

A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices

(A, B)

is a scalar

λ

or a ratio

α / β = λ

, such that

A - λ B

is singular. It is usually represented as the pair

(α, β)

, as there is a reasonable interpretation for

β = 0

, and even for both being zero.

The right generalized eigenvector

v_{j}

corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

A v_{j} = λ_{j} B v_{j} .

The left generalized eigenvector

u_{j}

corresponding to the generalized eigenvalue

λ_{j}

(A, B)

satisfies

u_{j}^{H} A = λ_{j} u_{j}^{H} B,

where

u_{j}^{H}

is the conjugate-transpose of

u_{j}

All the eigenvalues and, if required, all the eigenvectors of the complex generalized eigenproblem

A x = λ B x

, where

A

and

B

are complex, square matrices, are determined using the

Q Z

algorithm. The complex

Q Z

algorithm consists of three stages:

A

is reduced to upper Hessenberg form (with real, non-negative subdiagonal elements) and at the same time

B

is reduced to upper triangular form.

A

is further reduced to triangular form while the triangular form of

B

is maintained and the diagonal elements of

B

are made real and non-negative. This is the generalized Schur form of the pair

(A, B)

This function does not actually produce the eigenvalues

λ_{j}

, but instead returns

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

such that

λ_{j} = α_{j} / β_{j}, j = 1, 2, \dots, n .

The division by

β_{j}

becomes your responsibility, since

β_{j}

may be zero, indicating an infinite eigenvalue.

If the eigenvectors are required they are obtained from the triangular matrices and then transformed back into the original coordinate system.

On entry: if

jobvl = Nag_NotLeftVecs

, do not compute the left generalized eigenvectors.

Constraint:

jobvl = Nag_NotLeftVecs

Nag_LeftVecs

3: $jobvr$ – Nag_RightVecsTypeInput

On entry: if

jobvr = Nag_NotRightVecs

, do not compute the right generalized eigenvectors.

A

and

B

On entry: the matrix

in the pair

(A, B)

On exit: a has been overwritten.

6: $pda$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array a.

Constraint:

, will be the generalized eigenvalues.

Note: the quotients

alpha [j - 1] / beta [j - 1]

may easily overflow or underflow, and

beta [j - 1]

may even be zero. Thus, you should avoid naively computing the ratio

α_{j} / β_{j}

. However,

\max (|α_{j}|)

will always be less than and usually comparable with

{‖A‖}_{2}

in magnitude, and

\max (|β_{j}|)

will always be less than and usually comparable with

{‖B‖}_{2}

th vector is stored in

$vl [(j - 1) \times pdvl + i - 1]$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;

On exit: if

jobvl = Nag_LeftVecs

u_{j}

On exit: if

jobvr = Nag_RightVecs

Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for nearby matrices

(A + E)

and

(B + F)

, where

{‖(E, F)‖}_{F} = O (ε) {‖(A, B)‖}_{F},

and

ε

is the machine precision. See Section 4.11 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Note: interpretation of results obtained with the

Q Z

algorithm often requires a clear understanding of the effects of small changes in the original data. These effects are reviewed in Wilkinson (1979), in relation to the significance of small values of

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

. It should be noted that if

α_{j}

and

β_{j}

are both small for any

j

, it may be that no reliance can be placed on any of the computed eigenvalues

λ_{i} = α_{i} / β_{i}

. You are recommended to study Wilkinson (1979) and, if in difficulty, to seek expert advice on determining the sensitivity of the eigenvalues to perturbations in the data.

Parallelism and Performance

nag_zggev (f08wnc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_zggev (f08wnc) 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 function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The total number of floating-point operations is proportional to
