?spevd

Uses divide and conquer algorithm to compute all eigenvalues and (optionally) all eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix held in packed storage.

Syntax

lapack_int LAPACKE_dspevd (int matrix_layout, char jobz, char uplo, lapack_int n, double* ap, double* w, double* z, lapack_int ldz);

Description

The routine computes all the eigenvalues, and optionally all the eigenvectors, of a real symmetric matrix A (held in packed storage). In other words, it can compute the spectral factorization of A as:

A = Z*Λ*ZT.

Here Λ is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues λi, and Z is the orthogonal 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 symmetric matrix A, as specified by uplo.

The dimension of ap must be 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, z

Arrays:

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

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

z (size max(1, ldz*n)).

If jobz = 'V', then this array is overwritten by the orthogonal 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, then the algorithm failed to converge; i indicates the number of elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form which did not converge to zero.

If info = -i, the i-th parameter had an illegal value.

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 complex analogue of this routine is hpevd.
