Reduction of a general matrix to tridiagonal form

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6307595
This report reviews recent research in finding eigenvalues of general matrices by first reducing the matrix to tridiagonal form and then applying LR iteration to this reduced form. The report also describes a new algorithm for solving this problem and shows why it is superior to the other approaches. While our results show the algorithm to be over three times faster than the EISPACK routines for finding eigenvalues, there are some matrices for which the algorithm fails. The report describes how to detect these matrices during the reduction process and how to attempt to proceed. 13 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
