A STUDY OF THE HR AND EXTENDED HR METHODS FOR THE STANDARD EIGENVALUE PROBLEM
Abstract:
Abstract. The QR method is a very efficient method for computing the spectrum of Hermitian tridiagonal matrices since the tridiagonal form is preserved over the iterations. For non-Hermitian tridiagonal matrices the QR method destroys the tridiagonal form. In this report we study two methods, the HR and the XHR methods, that preserve tridiagonal form for pseudo-Hermitian matrices. We also report results from numerical experiments using the algorithms and try to point out short comings and possible strategies for future
