**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SCHKST2STG  checks the symmetric eigenvalue problem routines
!> using the 2-stage reduction techniques. Since the generation
!> of Q or the vectors is not available in this release, we only
!> compare the eigenvalue resulting when using the 2-stage to the
!> one considered as reference using the standard 1-stage reduction
!> SSYTRD. For that, we call the standard SSYTRD and compute D1 using
!> SSTEQR, then we call the 2-stage SSYTRD_2STAGE with Upper and Lower
!> and we compute D2 and D3 using SSTEQR and then we replaced tests
!> 3 and 4 by tests 11 and 12. test 1 and 2 remain to verify that
!> the 1-stage results are OK and can be trusted.
!> This testing routine will converge to the SCHKST in the next
!> release when vectors and generation of Q will be implemented.
!>
!>    SSYTRD factors A as  U S U' , where ' means transpose,
!>    S is symmetric tridiagonal, and U is orthogonal.
!>    SSYTRD can use either just the lower or just the upper triangle
!>    of A; SCHKST2STG checks both cases.
!>    U is represented as a product of Householder
!>    transformations, whose vectors are stored in the first
!>    n-1 columns of V, and whose scale factors are in TAU.
!>
!>    SSPTRD does the same as SSYTRD, except that A and V are stored
!>    in  format.
!>
!>    SORGTR constructs the matrix U from the contents of V and TAU.
!>
!>    SOPGTR constructs the matrix U from the contents of VP and TAU.
!>
!>    SSTEQR factors S as  Z D1 Z' , where Z is the orthogonal
!>    matrix of eigenvectors and D1 is a diagonal matrix with
!>    the eigenvalues on the diagonal.  D2 is the matrix of
!>    eigenvalues computed when Z is not computed.
!>
!>    SSTERF computes D3, the matrix of eigenvalues, by the
!>    PWK method, which does not yield eigenvectors.
!>
!>    SPTEQR factors S as  Z4 D4 Z4' , for a
!>    symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrix.
!>    D5 is the matrix of eigenvalues computed when Z is not
!>    computed.
!>
!>    SSTEBZ computes selected eigenvalues.  WA1, WA2, and
!>    WA3 will denote eigenvalues computed to high
!>    absolute accuracy, with different range options.
!>    WR will denote eigenvalues computed to high relative
!>    accuracy.
!>
!>    SSTEIN computes Y, the eigenvectors of S, given the
!>    eigenvalues.
!>
!>    SSTEDC factors S as Z D1 Z' , where Z is the orthogonal
!>    matrix of eigenvectors and D1 is a diagonal matrix with
!>    the eigenvalues on the diagonal ('I' option). It may also
!>    update an input orthogonal matrix, usually the output
!>    from SSYTRD/SORGTR or SSPTRD/SOPGTR ('V' option). It may
!>    also just compute eigenvalues ('N' option).
!>
!>    SSTEMR factors S as Z D1 Z' , where Z is the orthogonal
!>    matrix of eigenvectors and D1 is a diagonal matrix with
!>    the eigenvalues on the diagonal ('I' option).  SSTEMR
!>    uses the Relatively Robust Representation whenever possible.
!>
!> When SCHKST2STG is called, a number of matrix  () and a
!> number of matrix  are specified.  For each size ()
!> and each type of matrix, one matrix will be generated and used
!> to test the symmetric eigenroutines.  For each matrix, a number
!> of tests will be performed:
!>
!> (1)     | A - V S V' | / ( |A| n ulp ) SSYTRD( UPLO='U', ... )
!>
!> (2)     | I - UV' | / ( n ulp )        SORGTR( UPLO='U', ... )
!>
!> (3)     | A - V S V' | / ( |A| n ulp ) SSYTRD( UPLO='L', ... )
!>         replaced by | D1 - D2 | / ( |D1| ulp ) where D1 is the
!>         eigenvalue matrix computed using S and D2 is the
!>         eigenvalue matrix computed using S_2stage the output of
!>         SSYTRD_2STAGE(, ,....). D1 and D2 are computed

!>
!> (4)     | I - UV' | / ( n ulp )        SORGTR( UPLO='L', ... )

```

**Parameters**

*NSIZES*

```
!>          NSIZES is INTEGER
!>          The number of sizes of matrices to use.  If it is zero,
!>          SCHKST2STG does nothing.  It must be at least zero.
!>
```

*NN*

```
!>          NN is INTEGER array, dimension (NSIZES)
!>          An array containing the sizes to be used for the matrices.
!>          Zero values will be skipped.  The values must be at least
!>          zero.
!>
```

*NTYPES*

```
!>          NTYPES is INTEGER
!>          The number of elements in DOTYPE.   If it is zero, SCHKST2STG
!>          does nothing.  It must be at least zero.  If it is MAXTYP+1
!>          and NSIZES is 1, then an additional type, MAXTYP+1 is
!>          defined, which is to use whatever matrix is in A.  This
!>          is only useful if DOTYPE(1:MAXTYP) is .FALSE. and
!>          DOTYPE(MAXTYP+1) is .TRUE. .
!>
```

*DOTYPE*

```
!>          DOTYPE is LOGICAL array, dimension (NTYPES)
!>          If DOTYPE(j) is .TRUE., then for each size in NN a
!>          matrix of that size and of type j will be generated.
!>          If NTYPES is smaller than the maximum number of types
!>          defined (PARAMETER MAXTYP), then types NTYPES+1 through
!>          MAXTYP will not be generated.  If NTYPES is larger
!>          than MAXTYP, DOTYPE(MAXTYP+1) through DOTYPE(NTYPES)
!>          will be ignored.
!>
```

*ISEED*

```
!>          ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4)
!>          On entry ISEED specifies the seed of the random number
!>          generator. The array elements should be between 0 and 4095;
!>          if not they will be reduced mod 4096.  Also, ISEED(4) must
!>          be odd.  The random number generator uses a linear
!>          congruential sequence limited to small integers, and so
!>          should produce machine independent random numbers. The
!>          values of ISEED are changed on exit, and can be used in the
!>          next call to SCHKST2STG to continue the same random number
!>          sequence.
!>
```

*THRESH*

```
!>          THRESH is REAL
!>          A test will count as  if the , computed as
!>          described above, exceeds THRESH.  Note that the error
!>          is scaled to be O(1), so THRESH should be a reasonably
!>          small multiple of 1, e.g., 10 or 100.  In particular,
!>          it should not depend on the precision (single vs. double)
!>          or the size of the matrix.  It must be at least zero.
!>
```

*NOUNIT*

```
!>          NOUNIT is INTEGER
!>          The FORTRAN unit number for printing out error messages
!>          (e.g., if a routine returns IINFO not equal to 0.)
!>
```

*A*

```
!>          A is REAL array of
!>                                  dimension ( LDA , max(NN) )
!>          Used to hold the matrix whose eigenvalues are to be
!>          computed.  On exit, A contains the last matrix actually
!>          used.
!>
```

*LDA*

```
!>          LDA is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of A.  It must be at

!>          On exit, SD and SE contain the tridiagonal form of the
!>          matrix in A.

*SE*

```
!>          SE is REAL array of
!>                             dimension( max(NN) )

*V*

```
!>          V is REAL array of

!>          are in the lower triangle.  (As described in SSYTRD, the
!>          sub- and superdiagonal are not set to 1, although the
!>          true Householder vector has a 1 in that position.  The
!>          routines that use V, such as SORGTR, set those entries to
!>          1 before using them, and then restore them later.)

!>          The values computed by the tests described above.
!>          The values are currently limited to 1/ulp, to avoid
!>          overflow.
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          If 0, then everything ran OK.
!>           -1: NSIZES < 0
