11. Notes for Shifted Inverse Power Method
The initial vector
x_1and the
subsequent
vectors x_k will be
normalized to
have a length of 1
Equation 9.9 is solved as (A-αI)
x_(k+1)=x_k using Doolittle’s method,
which employs LU factorization of the
coefficient matrix A-αI. This proves
Useful, especially if α happens to be
very close to an eigenvalue of A,
causing
A-αI to be near singular.
Setting α=0 leads to
the estimation of
the smallest
magnitude
eigenvalue of A.
15. Example: (Using Shifted Power Method)
Solution:
>> A1 = A + 2*eye(4,4);
>> [e_val, e_vec] = PowerMethod(A1, x1)
e_val =
5.0000 % Fourth eigenvalue = 5+(-2) =3
e_vec =
- 0.0000

16. QR Algorithm
• Efficiently provides approximations for all eigenvalues/eigenvectors of a
matrix.
• Developed independently in the late 1950's by John G.F. Francis (England)
and Vera Kublanovskaya (USSR)
17. QR Factorization
Method
QR Factorization (or decomposition) Method - is a matrix decomposition technique
that expresses a matrix A as the product of an orthogonal matrix Q and an upper triangular
matrix R.
Any matrix can be decomposed into a product, M = QR ; Q-orthogonal and R - Upper triangular
Q-orthogonal - an adjective that describes two things in a right angles to each other.
R - Upper triangular - a special type of square matrix where all the elements below the main diagonal is
zero.
QR Algorithm - is an iterative method for computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a
matrix. It relies on repeated QR Factorizations.
