## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine zgeesx (character jobvs, character sort, external select, character sense, integer n, complex\*16, dimension( lda, \* ) a, integer lda, integer sdim, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) w, complex\*16, dimension( ldvs, \* ) vs, integer ldvs, double precision rconde, double precision rcondv, complex\*16, dimension( \* ) work, integer lwork, double precision, dimension( \* ) rwork, logical, dimension( \* ) bwork, integer info)

 **ZGEESX computes the eigenvalues, the Schur form, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur vectors for GE matrices**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> ZGEESX computes for an N-by-N complex nonsymmetric matrix A, the
!> eigenvalues, the Schur form T, and, optionally, the matrix of Schur
!> vectors Z.  This gives the Schur factorization A = Z*T*(Z**H).
!>
!> Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues on the diagonal of the
!> Schur form so that selected eigenvalues are at the top left;
!> computes a reciprocal condition number for the average of the
!> selected eigenvalues (RCONDE); and computes a reciprocal condition
!> number for the right invariant subspace corresponding to the
!> selected eigenvalues (RCONDV).  The leading columns of Z form an
!> orthonormal basis for this invariant subspace.
!>
!> For further explanation of the reciprocal condition numbers RCONDE
!> and RCONDV, see Section 4.10 of the LAPACK Users' Guide (where
!> these quantities are called s and sep respectively).
!>
!> A complex matrix is in Schur form if it is upper triangular.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*JOBVS*

```
!>          JOBVS is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'N': Schur vectors are not computed;
!>          = 'V': Schur vectors are computed.
!>
```

*SORT*

```
!>          SORT is CHARACTER*1
!>          Specifies whether or not to order the eigenvalues on the
!>          diagonal of the Schur form.
!>          = 'N': Eigenvalues are not ordered;
!>          = 'S': Eigenvalues are ordered (see SELECT).
!>
```

*SELECT*

```
!>          SELECT is a LOGICAL FUNCTION of one COMPLEX*16 argument
!>          SELECT must be declared EXTERNAL in the calling subroutine.
!>          If SORT = 'S', SELECT is used to select eigenvalues to order
!>          to the top left of the Schur form.
!>          If SORT = 'N', SELECT is not referenced.
!>          An eigenvalue W(j) is selected if SELECT(W(j)) is true.
!>
```

*SENSE*

```
!>          SENSE is CHARACTER*1
!>          Determines which reciprocal condition numbers are computed.
!>          = 'N': None are computed;
!>          = 'E': Computed for average of selected eigenvalues only;
!>          = 'V': Computed for selected right invariant subspace only;
!>          = 'B': Computed for both.
!>          If SENSE = 'E', 'V' or 'B', SORT must equal 'S'.
!>
```

*N*

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

*A*

```
!>          A is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDA, N)
!>          On entry, the N-by-N matrix A.
!>          On exit, A is overwritten by its Schur form T.
!>
```

*LDA*

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

*SDIM*

```
!>          SDIM is INTEGER
!>          If SORT = 'N', SDIM = 0.
!>          If SORT = 'S', SDIM = number of eigenvalues for which
!>                         SELECT is true.
!>
```

*W*

```
!>          W is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N)
!>          W contains the computed eigenvalues, in the same order
!>          that they appear on the diagonal of the output Schur form T.
!>
```

*VS*

```
!>          VS is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDVS,N)
!>          If JOBVS = 'V', VS contains the unitary matrix Z of Schur
!>          vectors.
!>          If JOBVS = 'N', VS is not referenced.
!>
```

*LDVS*

```
!>          LDVS is INTEGER
!>          The leading dimension of the array VS.  LDVS >= 1, and if
!>          JOBVS = 'V', LDVS >= N.
!>
```

*RCONDE*

```
!>          RCONDE is DOUBLE PRECISION
!>          If SENSE = 'E' or 'B', RCONDE contains the reciprocal
!>          condition number for the average of the selected eigenvalues.
!>          Not referenced if SENSE = 'N' or 'V'.
!>
```

*RCONDV*

```
!>          RCONDV is DOUBLE PRECISION
!>          If SENSE = 'V' or 'B', RCONDV contains the reciprocal
!>          condition number for the selected right invariant subspace.
!>          Not referenced if SENSE = 'N' or 'E'.
!>
```

*WORK*

```
!>          WORK is COMPLEX*16 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.  LWORK >= max(1,2*N).
!>          Also, if SENSE = 'E' or 'V' or 'B', LWORK >= 2*SDIM*(N-SDIM),
!>          where SDIM is the number of selected eigenvalues computed by
!>          this routine.  Note that 2*SDIM*(N-SDIM) <= N*N/2. Note also
!>          that an error is only returned if LWORK < max(1,2*N), but if
!>          SENSE = 'E' or 'V' or 'B' this may not be large enough.
!>          For good performance, LWORK must generally be larger.
!>
!>          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
!>          only calculates upper bound on the optimal size of the
!>          array WORK, returns this value as the first entry of the WORK
!>          array, and no error message related to LWORK is issued by
!>          XERBLA.
!>
```

*RWORK*

```
!>          RWORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
!>
```

*BWORK*

```
!>          BWORK is LOGICAL array, dimension (N)
!>          Not referenced if SORT = 'N'.
!>
```

*INFO*

```
!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0: successful exit
!>          < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
!>          > 0: if INFO = i, and i is
!>             <= N: the QR algorithm failed to compute all the
!>                   eigenvalues; elements 1:ILO-1 and i+1:N of W
!>                   contain those eigenvalues which have converged; if
!>                   JOBVS = 'V', VS contains the transformation which
!>                   reduces A to its partially converged Schur form.
!>             = N+1: the eigenvalues could not be reordered because some
!>                   eigenvalues were too close to separate (the problem
!>                   is very ill-conditioned);
!>             = N+2: after reordering, roundoff changed values of some
!>                   complex eigenvalues so that leading eigenvalues in
!>                   the Schur form no longer satisfy SELECT=.TRUE.  This
!>                   could also be caused by underflow due to scaling.
!>
