## NAME

SRC/ssyev.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

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

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine ssyev (character jobz, character uplo, integer n, real, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, real, dimension( \* ) w, real, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, integer info)

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

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SSYEV computes all eigenvalues and, optionally, eigenvectors of a
!> real symmetric matrix A.
!>
```

**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 REAL 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 REAL array, dimension (N)
!>          If INFO = 0, the eigenvalues in ascending order.
!>
```

*WORK*

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

*LWORK*

```
!>          LWORK is INTEGER
!>          The length of the array WORK.  LWORK >= max(1,3*N-1).
!>          For optimal efficiency, LWORK >= (NB+2)*N,
!>          where NB is the blocksize for SSYTRD returned by ILAENV.
!>
!>          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
!>          only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns
!>          this value as the first entry of the WORK array, and no error
!>          message related to LWORK 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, the algorithm failed to converge; i
!>                off-diagonal elements of an intermediate tridiagonal
!>                form did not converge to zero.
!>
