Hello all,
The conversation has been moved to the forum,
http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1820
I remind all of you that if you want to receive an email for each post on
the forum, you can. There is a bunch of noise there since there is a few
spams ... I try to forward the relevant email to the mailing-list.
Best wishes,
Julien.

Hi,
For your information: For some matrices DSYEVR, when told to compute a
small number of eigenvalues, returns non-orthogonal eigenvectors.
Perhaps it possible for the algorithm to detect this and return with an
error?
This applies at least when using the automatically chosen ABSTOL.
However, at least for the example below, I wasn't able to find a
suitable ABSTOL for which it would work.
Maybe, this might have to do with the fact that for the example problem
below, the first eigenvalue is multiply degenerate, and the numerical
second eigenvalue is eps-close to the first one.
The following test program illustrates this:

with the test data

On Lapack 3.2.1 + reference BLAS, I get:
$ gfortran -o test test.f90 -llapack -lblas
