A case against a divide and conquer approach to the nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Divide and conquer techniques based on rank-one updating have proven fast, accurate, and efficient in parallel for the real symmetric tridiagonal and unitary eigenvalue problems and for the bidiagonal singular value problem. Although the divide and conquer mechanism can also be adapted to the real nonsymmetric eigenproblem in a straightforward way, most of the desirable characteristics of the other algorithms are lost. In this paper, we examine the problems of accuracy and efficiency that can stand in the way of a nonsymmetric divide and conquer eigensolver based on low-rank updating. 31 refs., 2 figs.
