This is an auxiliary code to be called from SLARRE2A. SLARRD2 has been created using the LAPACK code SLARRD which itself stems from SSTEBZ. The motivation for creating SLARRD2 is efficiency: When computing eigenvalues in parallel and the input tridiagonal matrix splits into blocks, SLARRD2 can skip over blocks which contain none of the eigenvalues from DOL to DOU for which the processor responsible. In extreme cases (such as large matrices consisting of many blocks of small size, e.g. 2x2, the gain can be substantial. ARGUMENTS RANGE (input) CHARACTER = 'A': ("All") all eigenvalues will be found. = 'V': ("Value") all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (VL, VU] will be found. = 'I': ("Index") the IL-th through IU-th eigenvalues (of the entire matrix) will be found. ORDER (input) CHARACTER = 'B': ("By Block") the eigenvalues will be grouped by split-off block (see IBLOCK, ISPLIT) and ordered from smallest to largest within the block. = 'E': ("Entire matrix") the eigenvalues for the entire matrix will be ordered from smallest to largest. N (input) INTEGER The order of the tridiagonal matrix T. N >= 0. VL (input) REAL VU (input) REAL If RANGE='V', the lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues. Eigenvalues less than or equal to VL, or greater than VU, will not be returned. VL < VU. Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'. IL (input) INTEGER IU (input) INTEGER If RANGE='I', the indices (in ascending order) of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned. 1 <= IL <= IU <= N, if N > 0; IL = 1 and IU = 0 if N = 0. Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'V'. GERS (input) REAL array, dimension (2*N) The N Gerschgorin intervals (the i-th Gerschgorin interval is (GERS(2*i-1), GERS(2*i)). RELTOL (input) REAL The minimum relative width of an interval. When an interval is narrower than RELTOL times the larger (in magnitude) endpoint, then it is considered to be sufficiently small, i.e., con- verged. Note: this should always be at least radix*machine epsilon. D (input) REAL array, dimension (N) The n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T. E (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1) The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T. E2 (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1) The (n-1) squared off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix T. PIVMIN (input) REAL The minimum pivot allowed in the sturm sequence for T. NSPLIT (input) INTEGER The number of diagonal blocks in the matrix T. 1 <= NSPLIT <= N. ISPLIT (input) INTEGER array, dimension (N) The splitting points, at which T breaks up into submatrices. The first submatrix consists of rows/columns 1 to ISPLIT(1), the second of rows/columns ISPLIT(1)+1 through ISPLIT(2), etc., and the NSPLIT-th consists of rows/columns ISPLIT(NSPLIT-1)+1 through ISPLIT(NSPLIT)=N. (Only the first NSPLIT elements will actually be used, but since the user cannot know a priori what value NSPLIT will have, N words must be reserved for ISPLIT.) M (output) INTEGER The actual number of eigenvalues found. 0 <= M <= N. (See also the description of INFO=2,3.) W (output) REAL array, dimension (N) On exit, the first M elements of W will contain the eigenvalue approximations. SLARRD2 computes an interval I_j = (a_j, b_j] that includes eigenvalue j. The eigenvalue approximation is given as the interval midpoint W(j)= ( a_j + b_j)/2. The corre- sponding error is bounded by WERR(j) = abs( a_j - b_j)/2 WERR (output) REAL array, dimension (N) The error bound on the corresponding eigenvalue approximation in W. WL (output) REAL WU (output) REAL The interval (WL, WU] contains all the wanted eigenvalues. If RANGE='V', then WL=VL and WU=VU. If RANGE='A', then WL and WU are the global Gerschgorin bounds on the spectrum. If RANGE='I', then WL and WU are computed by SLAEBZ from the index range specified. IBLOCK (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N) At each row/column j where E(j) is zero or small, the matrix T is considered to split into a block diagonal matrix. On exit, if INFO = 0, IBLOCK(i) specifies to which block (from 1 to the number of blocks) the eigenvalue W(i) belongs. (SLARRD2 may use the remaining N-M elements as workspace.) INDEXW (output) INTEGER array, dimension (N) The indices of the eigenvalues within each block (submatrix); for example, INDEXW(i)= j and IBLOCK(i)=k imply that the i-th eigenvalue W(i) is the j-th eigenvalue in block k. WORK (workspace) REAL array, dimension (4*N) IWORK (workspace) INTEGER array, dimension (3*N) DOL (input) INTEGER DOU (input) INTEGER If the user wants to work on only a selected part of the repre- sentation tree, he can specify an index range DOL:DOU. Otherwise, the setting DOL=1, DOU=N should be applied. Note that DOL and DOU refer to the order in which the eigenval- ues are stored in W. INFO (output) INTEGER = 0: successful exit < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value > 0: some or all of the eigenvalues failed to converge or were not computed: =1 or 3: Bisection failed to converge for some eigenvalues; these eigenvalues are flagged by a negative block number. The effect is that the eigenvalues may not be as accurate as the absolute and relative tolerances. This is generally caused by unexpectedly inaccurate arithmetic. =2 or 3: RANGE='I' only: Not all of the eigenvalues IL:IU were found. Effect: M < IU+1-IL Cause: non-monotonic arithmetic, causing the Sturm sequence to be non-monotonic. Cure: recalculate, using RANGE='A', and pick out eigenvalues IL:IU. In some cases, increasing the PARAMETER "FUDGE" may make things work. = 4: RANGE='I', and the Gershgorin interval initially used was too small. No eigenvalues were computed. Probable cause: your machine has sloppy floating-point arithmetic. Cure: Increase the PARAMETER "FUDGE", recompile, and try again. INTERNAL PARAMETERS FUDGE REAL , default = 2 originally, increased to 10. A "fudge factor" to widen the Gershgorin intervals. Ideally, a value of 1 should work, but on machines with sloppy arithmetic, this needs to be larger. The default for publicly released versions should be large enough to handle the worst machine around. Note that this has no effect on accuracy of the solution.
