Arguments

D
(input/output) REAL array, shape $(:)$ with $size$(D) $= n$, where $n$ is the order of $A$.
On entry, the diagonal elements of the matrix $A$.
On exit, the original contents of D possibly multiplied by a constant factor to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

E
(input/output) REAL array, shape $(:)$ with $size$(E) $= n$.
On entry, the $n - 1$ subdiagonal elements of $A$ in E$_1$ to E$_{n-1}\,$. E$_n$ need not be set.
On exit, the original contents of E possibly multiplied by a constant factor to avoid over/underflow in computing the eigenvalues.

W
(output) REAL array with $size({\bf W}) = n$.
The first M elements contain the selected eigenvalues in ascending order.

Z
Optional (output) REAL or COMPLEX array, shape $(:,:)$ with $size$(Z,1) $= n$ and $size$(Z,2) $=$ M.
The first M columns of Z contain the orthonormal eigenvectors of $A$ corresponding to the selected eigenvalues, with the $i^{th}$ column of Z containing the eigenvector associated with the eigenvalue in W$_i$. 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 M columns are supplied in the array Z. When the exact value of M is not known in advance, an upper bound must be used. In all cases M $\leq n$.

VL,VU
Optional (input) REAL.
The lower and upper bounds of the interval to be searched for eigenvalues. VL $<$ VU.
Default values: VL $=$ -HUGE(wp) and VU $=$ HUGE(wp), where wp ::= KIND(1.0) $\mid$ KIND(1.0D0).
Note: Neither VL nor VU may be present if IL and/or IU is present.

IL,IU
Optional (input) INTEGER.
The indices of the smallest and largest eigenvalues to be returned. The ${\bf IL}^{th}$ through ${\bf IU}^{th}$ eigenvalues will be found. $1 \leq {\bf IL} \leq {\bf IU} \leq n$.
Default values: IL $= 1$ and IU $= n$.
Note: Neither IL nor IU may be present if VL and/or VU is present.
Note: All eigenvalues are calculated if none of the arguments VL, VU, IL and IU are present.

M
Optional (output) INTEGER.
The total number of eigenvalues found. $0 \leq {\bf M} \leq n$.
Note: If ${\bf IL}$ and ${\bf IU}$ are present then ${\bf M} = {\bf IU}-{\bf IL}+1$.

IFAIL
Optional (output) INTEGER array, shape $(:)$ with $size$(IFAIL) $= n$.
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.
Note: If Z is present then IFAIL should also be present.

ABSTOL
Optional (input) 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

\begin{displaymath}{\bf ABSTOL} + {\bf EPSILON}(1.0\_{\it wp})\times
\max(\mid a\mid,\mid b\mid),\end{displaymath}

where wp is the working precision. If ABSTOL $\leq 0$, then ${\bf EPSILON}(1.0\_{\it wp}) \times \Vert A \Vert _1 $ will be used in its place. Eigenvalues will be computed most accurately when ABSTOL is set to twice the underflow threshold $2\times {\bf LA\_LAMCH}(1.0\_{\it wp},\mbox{'Safe minimum'})$, not zero.
Default value: $0.0\_{\it wp}$.
Note: If this routine returns with ${\bf INFO} > 0$, then some eigenvectors did not converge. Try setting ABSTOL to $2\times {\bf LA\_LAMCH}(1.0\_{\it wp},\mbox{'Safe minimum'})$.

INFO
Optional (output) INTEGER

\begin{infoarg}
\item[{$=$\ 0:}] successful exit.
\item[{$<$\ 0:}] if {\bf INFO}...
...failed to converge.
Their indices are stored in array {\bf IFAIL}.
\end{infoarg}
If INFO is not present and an error occurs, then the program is terminated with an error message.
