EVAHF
Computes the largest or smallest eigenvalues of a complex Hermitian matrix.
Required Arguments
NEVAL — Number of eigenvalues to be calculated. (Input)
A — Complex Hermitian matrix of order N. (Input)
Only the upper triangle is used.
SMALL — Logical variable. (Input)
If .TRUE., the smallest NEVAL eigenvalues are computed. If .FALSE., the largest NEVAL eigenvalues are computed.
EVAL — Real vector of length N containing the extreme eigenvalues of A in decreasing order of magnitude in the first NEVAL elements. (Output)
Optional Arguments
N — Order of the matrix A. (Input)
Default: N = SIZE (A,2).
LDA — Leading dimension of A exactly as specified in the dimension statement in the calling program. (Input)
Default: LDA = SIZE (A,1).
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL EVAHF (NEVAL, A, SMALL, EVAL [,…])
Specific: The specific interface names are S_EVAHF and D_EVAHF.
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: CALL EVAHF (N, NEVAL, A, LDA, SMALL, EVAL)
Double: The double precision name is DEVAHF.
Description
Routine EVAHF computes the largest or smallest eigenvalues of a complex Hermitian matrix. Unitary transformations are used to reduce the matrix to an equivalent symmetric tridiagonal matrix. The rational QR algorithm with Newton corrections is used to compute the extreme eigenvalues of this tridiagonal matrix.
The reduction routine is based on the EISPACK routine HTRIDI. The QR routine is based on the EISPACK routine RATQR. See Smith et al. (1976) for the EISPACK routines.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of E3AHF/DE3AHF. The reference is
CALL E3AHF (N, NEVAL, A, LDA, SMALL, EVAL, ACOPY, RWK, CWK, IWK)
The additional arguments are as follows:
ACOPY — Complex work array of length N2. A and ACOPY may be the same in which case A will be destroyed.
RWK — Work array of length 2N.
CWK — Complex work array of length 2N.
IWK — Work array of length N.
2. Informational errors
Type | Code | Description |
|---|
3 | 1 | The iteration for an eigenvalue failed to converge. The best estimate will be returned. |
3 | 2 | The matrix is not Hermitian. It has a diagonal entry with a small imaginary part. |
4 | 2 | The matrix is not Hermitian. It has a diagonal entry with an imaginary part. |
Example
In this example, a DATA statement is used to set A to a matrix given by Gregory and Karney (1969, page 114). Its largest eigenvalue is computed and printed.
