SSPGVX computes selected eigenvalues, and optionally, eigenvectors


 of a real generalized symmetric-definite eigenproblem, of the form


 A*x=(lambda)*B*x,  A*Bx=(lambda)*x,  or B*A*x=(lambda)*x.  Here A


 and B are assumed to be symmetric, stored in packed storage, and B


 is also positive definite.  Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be


 selected by specifying either a range of values or a range of indices


 for the desired eigenvalues.

ITYPE

          ITYPE is INTEGER


          Specifies the problem type to be solved:


          = 1:  A*x = (lambda)*B*x


          = 2:  A*B*x = (lambda)*x


          = 3:  B*A*x = (lambda)*x

JOBZ

          JOBZ is CHARACTER*1


          = 'N':  Compute eigenvalues only;


          = 'V':  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

RANGE

          RANGE is CHARACTER*1


          = 'A': all eigenvalues will be found.


          = 'V': all eigenvalues in the half-open interval (VL,VU]


                 will be found.


          = 'I': the IL-th through IU-th eigenvalues will be found.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A and B are stored;


          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A and B are stored.

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix pencil (A,B).  N >= 0.

AP

          AP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)


          On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix


          A, packed columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of A


          is stored in the array AP as follows:


          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;


          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.


          On exit, the contents of AP are destroyed.

BP

          BP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)


          On entry, the upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix


          B, packed columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of B


          is stored in the array BP as follows:


          if UPLO = 'U', BP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = B(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;


          if UPLO = 'L', BP(i + (j-1)*(2*n-j)/2) = B(i,j) for j<=i<=n.


          On exit, the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky


          factorization B = U**T*U or B = L*L**T, in the same storage


          format as B.

VL

          VL is REAL


          If RANGE='V', the lower bound of the interval to


          be searched for eigenvalues. VL < VU.


          Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'.

VU

          VU is REAL


          If RANGE='V', the upper bound of the interval to


          be searched for eigenvalues. VL < VU.


          Not referenced if RANGE = 'A' or 'I'.

IL

          IL is INTEGER


          If RANGE='I', the index of the


          smallest eigenvalue 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'.

IU

          IU is INTEGER


          If RANGE='I', the index of the


          largest eigenvalue 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'.

ABSTOL

          ABSTOL is REAL


          The absolute error tolerance for the eigenvalues.


          An approximate eigenvalue is accepted as converged


          when it is determined to lie in an interval [a,b]


          of width less than or equal to


                  ABSTOL + EPS *   max( |a|,|b| ) ,


          where EPS is the machine precision.  If ABSTOL is less than


          or equal to zero, then  EPS*|T|  will be used in its place,


          where |T| is the 1-norm of the tridiagonal matrix obtained


          by reducing A to tridiagonal form.


          Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when ABSTOL is


          set to twice the underflow threshold 2*SLAMCH('S'), not zero.


          If this routine returns with INFO>0, indicating that some


          eigenvectors did not converge, try setting ABSTOL to


          2*SLAMCH('S').

M

          M is INTEGER


          The total number of eigenvalues found.  0 <= M <= N.


          If RANGE = 'A', M = N, and if RANGE = 'I', M = IU-IL+1.

W

          W is REAL array, dimension (N)


          On normal exit, the first M elements contain the selected


          eigenvalues in ascending order.

Z

          Z is REAL array, dimension (LDZ, max(1,M))


          If JOBZ = 'N', then Z is not referenced.


          If JOBZ = 'V', then if INFO = 0, the first M columns of Z


          contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A


          corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the i-th


          column of Z holding the eigenvector associated with W(i).


          The eigenvectors are normalized as follows:


          if ITYPE = 1 or 2, Z**T*B*Z = I;


          if ITYPE = 3, Z**T*inv(B)*Z = I.


          If an eigenvector fails to converge, then that column of Z


          contains the latest approximation to the eigenvector, and the


          index of the eigenvector is returned in IFAIL.


          Note: the user must ensure that at least max(1,M) columns are


          supplied in the array Z; if RANGE = 'V', the exact value of M


          is not known in advance and an upper bound must be used.

LDZ

          LDZ is INTEGER


          The leading dimension of the array Z.  LDZ >= 1, and if


          JOBZ = 'V', LDZ >= max(1,N).

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (8*N)

IWORK

          IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (5*N)

IFAIL

          IFAIL is INTEGER array, dimension (N)


          If JOBZ = 'V', then if INFO = 0, the first M elements of


          IFAIL are zero.  If INFO > 0, then IFAIL contains the


          indices of the eigenvectors that failed to converge.


          If JOBZ = 'N', then IFAIL is not referenced.

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


          = 0:  successful exit


          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value


          > 0:  SPPTRF or SSPEVX returned an error code:


             <= N:  if INFO = i, SSPEVX failed to converge;


                    i eigenvectors failed to converge.  Their indices


                    are stored in array IFAIL.


             > N:   if INFO = N + i, for 1 <= i <= N, then the leading


                    principal minor of order i of B is not positive.


                    The factorization of B could not be completed and


                    no eigenvalues or eigenvectors were computed.
