Prototype

There is one prototype of syevr available, please see below.

syevr( const char jobz, const char range, MatrixA& a, const Scalar >,
        const Scalar >, const int_t il,
        const int_t iu, const Scalar >, int_t& m,
        VectorW& w, MatrixZ& z, VectorISUPPZ& isuppz );

Description

syevr (short for $FRIENDLY_NAME) provides a C++ interface to LAPACK routines SSYEVR and DSYEVR. syevr computes selected eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix A. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices for the desired eigenvalues.

syevr first reduces the matrix A to tridiagonal form T with a call to DSYTRD. Then, whenever possible, syevr calls DSTEMR to compute the eigenspectrum using Relatively Robust Representations. DSTEMR computes eigenvalues by the dqds algorithm, while orthogonal eigenvectors are computed from various "good" L D L^T representations (also known as Relatively Robust Representations). Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is avoided as far as possible. More specifically, the various steps of the algorithm are as follows.

For each unreduced block (submatrix) of T, (a) Compute T - sigma I = L D L^T, so that L and D define all the wanted eigenvalues to high relative accuracy. This means that small relative changes in the entries of D and L cause only small relative changes in the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The standard (unfactored) representation of the tridiagonal matrix T does not have this property in general. (b) Compute the eigenvalues to suitable accuracy. If the eigenvectors are desired, the algorithm attains full accuracy of the computed eigenvalues only right before the corresponding vectors have to be computed, see steps c) and d). (c) For each cluster of close eigenvalues, select a new shift close to the cluster, find a new factorization, and refine the shifted eigenvalues to suitable accuracy. (d) For each eigenvalue with a large enough relative separation compute the corresponding eigenvector by forming a rank revealing twisted factorization. Go back to (c) for any clusters that remain.

The desired accuracy of the output can be specified by the input parameter ABSTOL.

Note 1 : syevr calls DSTEMR when the full spectrum is requested on machines which conform to the ieee-754 floating point standard. syevr calls DSTEBZ and SSTEIN on non-ieee machines and when partial spectrum requests are made.

Normal execution of DSTEMR may create NaNs and infinities and hence may abort due to a floating point exception in environments which do not handle NaNs and infinities in the ieee standard default manner.

The selection of the LAPACK routine is done during compile-time, and is determined by the type of values contained in type MatrixA. The type of values is obtained through the value_type meta-function typename value_type<MatrixA>::type. The dispatching table below illustrates to which specific routine the code path will be generated.
