# dsyevd(3)

Part of [dsyevd.f(3)](/dsyevd.f/3.md).

## NAME

SRC/dsyevd.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

subroutine **dsyevd** (jobz, uplo, n, a, lda, w, work, lwork, iwork, liwork, info)\
  **DSYEVD computes the eigenvalues and, optionally, the left and/or right eigenvectors for SY matrices**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine dsyevd (character jobz, character uplo, integer n, double precision, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, double precision, dimension( \* ) w, double precision, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, integer, dimension( \* ) iwork, integer liwork, integer info)

 **DSYEVD computes the eigenvalues and, optionally, the left and/or right eigenvectors for SY matrices**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> DSYEVD computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a
!> real symmetric matrix A. If eigenvectors are desired, it uses a
!> divide and conquer algorithm.
!>
!> Because of large use of BLAS of level 3, DSYEVD needs N**2 more
!> workspace than DSYEVX.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*JOBZ*

```
!>          JOBZ is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'N':  Compute eigenvalues only;
!>          = 'V':  Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
!>
```

*UPLO*

```
!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
!>          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
!>
```

*N*

```
!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA, N)
!>          On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the
!>          leading N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the
!>          upper triangular part of the matrix A.  If UPLO = 'L',
!>          the leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains
!>          the lower triangular part of the matrix A.
!>          On exit, if JOBZ = 'V', then if INFO = 0, A contains the
!>          orthonormal eigenvectors of the matrix A.
!>          If JOBZ = 'N', then on exit the lower triangle (if UPLO='L')
!>          or the upper triangle (if UPLO='U') of A, including the
!>          diagonal, is destroyed.
!>
```

*LDA*

```
!>          LDA is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
!>
```

*W*

```
!>          W is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
!>          If INFO = 0, the eigenvalues in ascending order.
!>
```

*WORK*

```
!>          WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
!>          On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
!>
```

*LWORK*

```
!>          LWORK is INTEGER
!>          The dimension of the array WORK.
!>          If N <= 1,               LWORK must be at least 1.
!>          If JOBZ = 'N' and N > 1, LWORK must be at least 2*N+1.
!>          If JOBZ = 'V' and N > 1, LWORK must be at least
!>                                                1 + 6*N + 2*N**2.
!>
!>          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
!>          only calculates the optimal sizes of the WORK and IWORK
!>          arrays, returns these values as the first entries of the WORK
!>          and IWORK arrays, and no error message related to LWORK or
!>          LIWORK is issued by XERBLA.
!>
```

*IWORK*

```
!>          IWORK is INTEGER array, dimension (MAX(1,LIWORK))
!>          On exit, if INFO = 0, IWORK(1) returns the optimal LIWORK.
!>
```

*LIWORK*

```
!>          LIWORK is INTEGER
!>          The dimension of the array IWORK.
!>          If N <= 1,                LIWORK must be at least 1.
!>          If JOBZ  = 'N' and N > 1, LIWORK must be at least 1.
!>          If JOBZ  = 'V' and N > 1, LIWORK must be at least 3 + 5*N.
!>
!>          If LIWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
!>          routine only calculates the optimal sizes of the WORK and
!>          IWORK arrays, returns these values as the first entries of
!>          the WORK and IWORK arrays, and no error message related to
!>          LWORK or LIWORK is issued by XERBLA.
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
!>          > 0:  if INFO = i and JOBZ = 'N', then the algorithm failed
!>                to converge; i off-diagonal elements of an intermediate
!>                tridiagonal form did not converge to zero;
!>                if INFO = i and JOBZ = 'V', then the algorithm failed
!>                to compute an eigenvalue while working on the submatrix
!>                lying in rows and columns INFO/(N+1) through
!>                mod(INFO,N+1).
