?hpevd

Uses divide and conquer algorithm to compute all eigenvalues and, optionally, all eigenvectors of a complex Hermitian matrix held in packed storage.

Description

The routine computes all the eigenvalues, and optionally all the eigenvectors, of a complex Hermitian matrix A (held in packed storage). In other words, it can compute the spectral factorization of A as: A = Z*Λ*ZH.

Here Λ is a real diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues λi, and Z is the (complex) unitary matrix whose columns are the eigenvectors zi. Thus,

A*zi = λi*zi for i = 1, 2, ..., n.

If the eigenvectors are requested, then this routine uses a divide and conquer algorithm to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, if only eigenvalues are required, then it uses the Pal-Walker-Kahan variant of the QL or QR algorithm.

Input Parameters

matrix_layout

Specifies whether matrix storage layout is row major (LAPACK_ROW_MAJOR) or column major (LAPACK_COL_MAJOR).

jobz

Must be 'N' or 'V'.

If jobz = 'N', then only eigenvalues are computed.

If jobz = 'V', then eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

uplo

Must be 'U' or 'L'.

If uplo = 'U', ap stores the packed upper triangular part of A.

If uplo = 'L', ap stores the packed lower triangular part of A.

n

The order of the matrix A (n 0).

ap

ap contains the packed upper or lower triangle of Hermitian matrix A, as specified by uplo.

The dimension of ap must be at least max(1, n*(n+1)/2).

ldz

The leading dimension of the output array z.

Constraints:

if jobz = 'N', then ldz 1;

if jobz = 'V', then ldz max(1, n).

Output Parameters

w

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

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

z

Array, size 1 if jobz = 'N' and max(1, ldz*n) if jobz = 'V'.

If jobz = 'V', then this array is overwritten by the unitary matrix Z which contains the eigenvectors of A.

If jobz = 'N', then z is not referenced.

ap

On exit, this array is overwritten by the values generated during the reduction to tridiagonal form. The elements of the diagonal and the off-diagonal of the tridiagonal matrix overwrite the corresponding elements of A.

Return Values

This function returns a value info.

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.

Application Notes

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a matrix A + E such that ||E||2 = O(ε)*||A||2, where ε is the machine precision.

The real analogue of this routine is spevd.
