Abstract

The periodic QR algorithm is a strongly backward stable method for computing the eigenvalues of products of matrices, or equivalently for computing the eigenvalues of block cyclic matrices. The main purpose of this paper is to show that this algorithm is numerically equivalent to the standard QR algorithm. It will be demonstrated how this connection may be used to develop a better understanding of the periodic QR algorithm. (c) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Gamma matrices

In mathematical physics, the gamma matrices, also called the Dirac matrices, are a set of conventional matrices with specific anticommutation relations that ensure they generate a matrix representation of the Clifford algebra It is also possible to define higher-dimensional gamma matrices. When interpreted as the matrices of the action of a set of orthogonal basis vectors for contravariant vectors in Minkowski space, the column vectors on which the matrices act become a space of spinors, on which the Clifford algebra of spacetime acts.

Pauli matrices

In mathematical physics and mathematics, the Pauli matrices are a set of three 2 × 2 complex matrices which are Hermitian, involutory and unitary. Usually indicated by the Greek letter sigma (σ), they are occasionally denoted by tau (τ) when used in connection with isospin symmetries. These matrices are named after the physicist Wolfgang Pauli. In quantum mechanics, they occur in the Pauli equation which takes into account the interaction of the spin of a particle with an external electromagnetic field.

Companion matrix

In linear algebra, the Frobenius companion matrix of the monic polynomial is the square matrix defined as Some authors use the transpose of this matrix, , which is more convenient for some purposes such as linear recurrence relations (see below). is defined from the coefficients of , while the characteristic polynomial as well as the minimal polynomial of are equal to . In this sense, the matrix and the polynomial are "companions". Any matrix A with entries in a field F has characteristic polynomial , which in turn has companion matrix .
