# NAG Toolbox: nag_lapack_zheev (f08fn)

## Purpose

nag_lapack_zheev (f08fn) computes all the eigenvalues and, optionally, all the eigenvectors of a complex n$n$ by n$n$ Hermitian matrix A$A$.

## Syntax

[a, w, info] = f08fn(jobz, uplo, a, 'n', n)
[a, w, info] = nag_lapack_zheev(jobz, uplo, a, 'n', n)

## Description

The Hermitian matrix A$A$ is first reduced to real tridiagonal form, using unitary similarity transformations, and then the QR$QR$ algorithm is applied to the tridiagonal matrix to compute the eigenvalues and (optionally) the eigenvectors.

## Parameters

### Compulsory Input Parameters

1:     jobz – string (length ≥ 1)
Indicates whether eigenvectors are computed.
jobz = 'N'${\mathbf{jobz}}=\text{'N'}$
Only eigenvalues are computed.
jobz = 'V'${\mathbf{jobz}}=\text{'V'}$
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Constraint: jobz = 'N'${\mathbf{jobz}}=\text{'N'}$ or 'V'$\text{'V'}$.
2:     uplo – string (length ≥ 1)
If uplo = 'U'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangular part of A$A$ is stored.
If uplo = 'L'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangular part of A$A$ is stored.
Constraint: uplo = 'U'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$ or 'L'$\text{'L'}$.
3:     a(lda, : $:$) – complex array
The first dimension of the array a must be at least max (1,n)$\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$
The second dimension of the array must be at least max (1,n)$\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$
The n$n$ by n$n$ Hermitian matrix A$A$.
• If uplo = 'U'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$, the upper triangular part of a$a$ must be stored and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
• If uplo = 'L'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$, the lower triangular part of a$a$ must be stored and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.

### Optional Input Parameters

1:     n – int64int32nag_int scalar
Default: The first dimension of the array a and the second dimension of the array a. (An error is raised if these dimensions are not equal.)
n$n$, the order of the matrix A$A$.
Constraint: n0${\mathbf{n}}\ge 0$.

### Input Parameters Omitted from the MATLAB Interface

lda work lwork rwork

### Output Parameters

1:     a(lda, : $:$) – complex array
The first dimension of the array a will be max (1,n)$\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$
The second dimension of the array will be max (1,n)$\mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$
ldamax (1,n)$\mathit{lda}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{n}}\right)$.
If jobz = 'V'${\mathbf{jobz}}=\text{'V'}$, then a contains the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A$A$.
If jobz = 'N'${\mathbf{jobz}}=\text{'N'}$, then on exit the lower triangle (if uplo = 'L'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'L'}$) or the upper triangle (if uplo = 'U'${\mathbf{uplo}}=\text{'U'}$) of a, including the diagonal, is overwritten.
2:     w(n) – double array
The eigenvalues in ascending order.
3:     info – int64int32nag_int scalar
info = 0${\mathbf{info}}=0$ unless the function detects an error (see Section [Error Indicators and Warnings]).

## Error Indicators and Warnings

Cases prefixed with W are classified as warnings and do not generate an error of type NAG:error_n. See nag_issue_warnings.

info = i${\mathbf{info}}=-i$
If info = i${\mathbf{info}}=-i$, parameter i$i$ had an illegal value on entry. The parameters are numbered as follows:
1: jobz, 2: uplo, 3: n, 4: a, 5: lda, 6: w, 7: work, 8: lwork, 9: rwork, 10: info.
It is possible that info refers to a parameter that is omitted from the MATLAB interface. This usually indicates that an error in one of the other input parameters has caused an incorrect value to be inferred.
W INFO > 0${\mathbf{INFO}}>0$
If info = i${\mathbf{info}}=i$, the algorithm failed to converge; i$i$ off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal form did not converge to zero.

## Accuracy

The computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors are exact for a nearby matrix (A + E)$\left(A+E\right)$, where
 ‖E‖2 = O(ε) ‖A‖2 , $‖E‖2 = O(ε) ‖A‖2 ,$
and ε$\epsilon$ is the machine precision. See Section 4.7 of Anderson et al. (1999) for further details.

Each eigenvector is normalized so that the element of largest absolute value is real and positive.
The total number of floating point operations is proportional to n3${n}^{3}$.
The real analogue of this function is nag_lapack_dsyev (f08fa).
