Generalized Symmetric-Definite Eigenvalue Problems: LAPACK Computational Routines

Generalized symmetric-definite eigenvalue problems are as follows: find the eigenvalues
λ
 and the corresponding eigenvectors
z
 that satisfy one of these equations:
Az
 =
λ
Bz
,
ABz
 =
λ
z
, or
B
A
z
 =
λ
z
,
where
A
 is an
n
-by-
n
 symmetric or Hermitian matrix, and
B
 is an
n
-by-
n
 symmetric positive-definite or Hermitian positive-definite matrix.
In these problems, there exist
n
 real eigenvectors corresponding to real eigenvalues (even for complex Hermitian matrices
A
 and
B
).
Routines described in this
topic
allow you to reduce the above generalized problems to standard symmetric eigenvalue problem
Cy
 =
λ
y
, which you can solve by calling LAPACK routines described earlier in this chapter (see Symmetric Eigenvalue Problems).
Different routines allow the matrices to be stored either conventionally or in packed storage. Prior to reduction, the positive-definite matrix
B
 must first be factorized using either potrf or pptrf.
The reduction routine for the banded matrices
A
 and
B
 uses a split Cholesky factorization for which a specific routine pbstf is provided. This refinement halves the amount of work required to form matrix
C
.

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors.
