The QR algorithm and Hyman’s method on vector computers

Robert C. Ward · Mathematics of Computation · 1976

The implementation on vector computers of the QR algorithm and of iterative schemes based on obtaining the determinant and its derivatives by Hyman’s method are presented. It is shown that iterative schemes based on Hyman’s method will probably be more efficient than the QR algorithm on vector computers for large matrices. A theoretical comparison of the Laguerre iterative scheme with the QR algorithm is presented using the latest available CDC STAR-100 instruction execution times. In addition, the results of several test cases run on the Laguerre-Hyman algorithm on a serial computer are reported.
