Abstract

This paper discusses two Fortran subroutines, LANSYM and LANUSM, for computing eigenvalues of real sparse matrices on the CM-200. These subroutines are designed for symmetric and unsymmetric matrices, respectively. Both are adaptations of single-vector Lanczos algorithms developed by Cullum and Willoughby. The eigenvalues are computed in a region prescribed by the user. In the case of LANSYM, this is a real interval [a,b]. In the case of LANUSM, it is a quadrilateral, Q, in the complex plane. The main attractions of the Cullum and Willoughby approach are the absence of both the reorthogonalization of the Lanczos vectors and factorizations of the (shifted) input matrix.
