TRED2 Procedure

Reduces a real, symmetric matrix to tridiagonal form, using Householder’s method.

Usage

TRED2, a[, d[, e]]

Input Parameters

a—An n-by-n real, symmetric matrix.

Output Parameters

a—This input parameter is replaced, on output, by the orthogonal matrix Q, effecting the transformation. The TQLI procedure uses this result to find the eigenvectors of the matrix A.

d—(optional) An n-element vector containing the diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix.

e—(optional) An n-element vector containing the off-diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix.

Keywords

None.
