Abstract:

Abstract. During the last ten years, Dhillon and Parlett devised a new algorithm (Multiple Relatively Robust Representations, MRRR) for computing numerically orthogonal eigenvectors of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix T with O(n 2) cost. It has been incorporated into LAPACK version 3.0 as routine stegr. We have discovered that the MRRR algorithm can fail in extreme cases. Sometimes, eigenvalues agree to working accuracy and MRRR cannot compute orthogonal eigenvectors for them. In this paper, we describe and analyze these failures and various remedies. Key words. Multiple relatively robust representations, numerically orthogonal eigenvectors, symmetric tridiagonal matrix, tight clusters of eigenvalues, glued matrices, Wilkinson matrices. AMS subject classifications. 15A18, 15A23.
