nag_zggbal (f08wvc) : NAG Library, Mark 26

Description

Balancing may reduce the

1

-norm of the matrices and improve the accuracy of the computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors in the complex generalized eigenvalue problem

A x = λ B x .

nag_zggbal (f08wvc) is usually the first step in the solution of the above generalized eigenvalue problem. Balancing is optional but it is highly recommended.

The term ‘balancing’ covers two steps, each of which involves similarity transformations on

A

and

B

. The function can perform either or both of these steps. Both steps are optional.

The function first attempts to permute

A

and

B

to block upper triangular form by a similarity transformation:

P A P^{T} = F = (\begin{matrix} F_{11} & F_{12} & F_{13} \\ F_{22} & F_{23} \\ F_{33} \end{matrix})

P B P^{T} = G = (\begin{matrix} G_{11} & G_{12} & G_{13} \\ G_{22} & G_{23} \\ G_{33} \end{matrix})

where

P

is a permutation matrix,

F_{11}

F_{33}

G_{11}

and

G_{33}

are upper triangular. Then the diagonal elements of the matrix pairs

(F_{11}, G_{11})

and

(F_{33}, G_{33})

are generalized eigenvalues of

(A, B)

. The rest of the generalized eigenvalues are given by the matrix pair

(F_{22}, G_{22})

which are in rows and columns

i_{lo}

i_{hi}

. Subsequent operations to compute the generalized eigenvalues of

(A, B)

need only be applied to the matrix pair

(F_{22}, G_{22})

; this can save a significant amount of work if

i_{lo} > 1

and

i_{hi} < n

. If no suitable permutation exists (as is often the case), the function sets

i_{lo} = 1

and

i_{hi} = n

The function applies a diagonal similarity transformation to

(F, G)

, to make the rows and columns of

(F_{22}, G_{22})

as close in norm as possible:

D F \hat{D} = (\begin{matrix} I & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & D_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & I \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} F_{11} & F_{12} & F_{13} \\ F_{22} & F_{23} \\ F_{33} \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} I & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & {\hat{D}}_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & I \end{matrix})

D G D^{- 1} = (\begin{matrix} I & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & D_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & I \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} G_{11} & G_{12} & G_{13} \\ G_{22} & G_{23} \\ G_{33} \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} I & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & {\hat{D}}_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & I \end{matrix})

This transformation usually improves the accuracy of computed generalized eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

Further Comments

nag_zggbal (f08wvc) is usually the first step in computing the complex generalized eigenvalue problem but it is an optional step. The matrix

B

is reduced to the triangular form using the

Q R

factorization function nag_zgeqrf (f08asc) and the unitary transformation

Q

is applied to the matrix

A

by calling nag_zunmqr (f08auc). This is followed by nag_zgghrd (f08wsc) which reduces the matrix pair into the generalized Hessenberg form.

If the matrix pair

(A, B)

is balanced by this function, then any generalized eigenvectors computed subsequently are eigenvectors of the balanced matrix pair. In that case, to compute the generalized eigenvectors of the original matrix, nag_zggbak (f08wwc) must be called.

The total number of floating-point operations is approximately proportional to

n^{2}

The real analogue of this function is nag_dggbal (f08whc).
