## 3  Description

F08XEF (DHGEQZ) implements a single-double-shift version of the $QZ$ method for finding the generalized eigenvalues of the real matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ which is in the generalized upper Hessenberg form. If the matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ is not in the generalized upper Hessenberg form, then the routine F08WEF (DGGHRD) should be called before invoking F08XEF (DHGEQZ).
This problem is mathematically equivalent to solving the equation
 $detA-λB=0.$
Note that, to avoid underflow, overflow and other arithmetic problems, the generalized eigenvalues ${\lambda }_{j}$ are never computed explicitly by this routine but defined as ratios between two computed values, ${\alpha }_{j}$ and ${\beta }_{j}$:
 $λj=αj/βj.$
The parameters ${\alpha }_{j}$, in general, are finite complex values and ${\beta }_{j}$ are finite real non-negative values.
If desired, the matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ may be reduced to generalized Schur form. That is, the transformed matrix $B$ is upper triangular and the transformed matrix $A$ is block upper triangular, where the diagonal blocks are either $1$ by $1$ or $2$ by $2$. The $1$ by $1$ blocks provide generalized eigenvalues which are real and the $2$ by $2$ blocks give complex generalized eigenvalues.
The parameter JOB specifies two options. If ${\mathbf{JOB}}=\text{'S'}$ then the matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ is simultaneously reduced to Schur form by applying one orthogonal transformation (usually called $Q$) on the left and another (usually called $Z$) on the right. That is,
 $A←QTAZ B←QTBZ$
The $2$ by $2$ upper-triangular diagonal blocks of $B$ corresponding to $2$ by $2$ blocks of A will be reduced to non-negative diagonal matrices. That is, if ${\mathbf{A}}\left(j+1,j\right)$ is nonzero, then ${\mathbf{B}}\left(j+1,j\right)={\mathbf{B}}\left(j,j+1\right)=0$ and ${\mathbf{B}}\left(j,j\right)$ and ${\mathbf{B}}\left(j+1,j+1\right)$ will be non-negative.
If ${\mathbf{JOB}}=\text{'E'}$, then at each iteration the same transformations are computed but they are only applied to those parts of $A$ and $B$ which are needed to compute $\alpha$ and $\beta$. This option could be used if generalized eigenvalues are required but not generalized eigenvectors.
If ${\mathbf{JOB}}=\text{'S'}$ and ${\mathbf{COMPQ}}=\text{'V'}$ or $\text{'I'}$, and ${\mathbf{COMPZ}}=\text{'V'}$ or $\text{'I'}$, then the orthogonal transformations used to reduce the pair $\left(A,B\right)$ are accumulated into the input arrays Q and Z. If generalized eigenvectors are required then JOB must be set to ${\mathbf{JOB}}=\text{'S'}$ and if left (right) generalized eigenvectors are to be computed then COMPQ (COMPZ) must be set to ${\mathbf{COMPQ}}=\text{'V'}$ or $\text{'I'}$ and not ${\mathbf{COMPQ}}\ne \text{'N'}$.
If ${\mathbf{COMPQ}}=\text{'I'}$, then eigenvectors are accumulated on the identity matrix and on exit the array Q contains the left eigenvector matrix $Q$. However, if ${\mathbf{COMPQ}}=\text{'V'}$ then the transformations are accumulated on the user-supplied matrix ${Q}_{0}$ in array Q on entry and thus on exit Q contains the matrix product $Q{Q}_{0}$. A similar convention is used for COMPZ.

## 6  Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
${\mathbf{INFO}}<0$
If ${\mathbf{INFO}}=-i$, argument $i$ had an illegal value. An explanatory message is output, and execution of the program is terminated.
${\mathbf{INFO}}>0$
If $1\le {\mathbf{INFO}}\le {\mathbf{N}}$, the $QZ$ iteration did not converge and the matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ is not in the generalized Schur form at exit. However, if ${\mathbf{INFO}}<{\mathbf{N}}$, then the computed ${\alpha }_{i}$ and ${\beta }_{i}$ should be correct for $i={\mathbf{INFO}}+1,\dots ,{\mathbf{N}}$.
If ${\mathbf{N}}+1\le {\mathbf{INFO}}\le 2×{\mathbf{N}}$, the computation of shifts failed and the matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ is not in the generalized Schur form at exit. However, if ${\mathbf{INFO}}<2×{\mathbf{N}}$, then the computed ${\alpha }_{i}$ and ${\beta }_{i}$ should be correct for $i={\mathbf{INFO}}-{\mathbf{N}}+1,\dots ,{\mathbf{N}}$.
If ${\mathbf{INFO}}>2×{\mathbf{N}}$, then an unexpected Library error has occurred. Please contact NAG with details of your program.

## 7  Accuracy

Please consult Section 4.11 of the LAPACK Users' Guide (see Anderson et al. (1999)) and Chapter 6 of Stewart and Sun (1990), for more information.

F08XEF (DHGEQZ) is the fifth step in the solution of the real generalized eigenvalue problem and is called after F08WEF (DGGHRD).
The complex analogue of this routine is F08XSF (ZHGEQZ).

## 9  Example

This example computes the $\alpha$ and $\beta$ parameters, which defines the generalized eigenvalues, of the matrix pair $\left(A,B\right)$ given by
 $A = 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 4.0 8.0 16.0 32.0 3.0 9.0 27.0 81.0 243.0 4.0 16.0 64.0 256.0 1024.0 5.0 25.0 125.0 625.0 3125.0$
 $B = 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 1.0 4.0 9.0 16.0 25.0 1.0 8.0 27.0 64.0 125.0 1.0 16.0 81.0 256.0 625.0 1.0 32.0 243.0 1024.0 3125.0 .$
This requires calls to five routines: F08WHF (DGGBAL) to balance the matrix, F08AEF (DGEQRF) to perform the $QR$ factorization of $B$, F08AGF (DORMQR) to apply $Q$ to $A$, F08WEF (DGGHRD) to reduce the matrix pair to the generalized Hessenberg form and F08XEF (DHGEQZ) to compute the eigenvalues using the $QZ$ algorithm.
