BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-77-634 ENTRY:: June 28, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: A new proof of global convergence for the tridiagonal QL algorithm TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Hoffmann, Walter AUTHOR:: Parlett, Beresford N. DATE:: October 1977 PAGES:: 20 ABSTRACT:: By exploiting the relation of the QL algorithm to inverse iteration we obtain a proof of global convergence which is more conceptual and less computational than previous analyses. The proof uses a new, but simple, error estimate for the first step of inverse iteration. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19950628] END:: STAN//CS-TR-77-634
