Abstract

We describe an algorithm with which one can verify solutions of an additive inverse matrix eigenvalue problem. The algorithm is based on Newton's method using a new criterion for terminating the iteration. In addition, it yields tight interval bounds for the solutions of the problem, thus guaranteeing most of their leading digits in a given floating point system.

Zusammenfassung

Wir geben einen Algorithmus an, mit dem man Lösungen eines additiven inversen Matrizen-Eigenwertproblems nachweisen kann. Der Algorithmus beruht auf dem Newton-Verfahren, für das ein neues Abbruchkriterium verwendet wird. Er liefert enge Schranken für die Lösungen des Problems und garantiert so die meisten ihrer führenden Ziffern in einem gegebenem Gleitpunktsystem.
