Abstract

In this paper, we consider the product eigenvalue problem for a wide class of structured matrices containing the well-known Vandermonde and Cauchy matrices. A periodic qd-type reduction method is developed for computing eigenvalues of products of these rectangular matrices so that no subtraction of like-signed numbers occurs. Consequently, all the eigenvalues of such a product are computed to high relative accuracy in a preferable complexity. Error analysis and numerical experiments are provided to confirm the high relative accuracy.
