Summary
Two previous papers (in Vol. V) describe theory and some applications of the quotient-difference (=QD-) algorithm. Here we give an extension which allows the determination of the eigenvectors of a matrix. Letx 1(0) , ...,x n(0) be a coordinate system in whichA has Jacobi form (such a system may be constructed with methods ofC. Lanczos orW. Givens). Then the QD-algorithm allows the construction of a sequence of coordinate systemsx 1(2μ) , ...,x n(2μ) , (μ=0, 1, 2, ...) which converge for μ≠∞ to the system of the eigenvectors ofA.
