HESS

Purpose:

Computes the Hessenberg form of a square matrix.

Syntax:

HESS(a)

(p, h) = HESS(a)

A square matrix.

Returns:

A matrix.

(p, h) = HESS(a) returns a permutation matrix and Hessenberg matrix such that p *^ h *^p' == a.

Example:

A = {{1, 3, 4},

{5, 6, 7},

{8, 9, 12}}

hess(A) == {{ 1.0, -4.982, -0.424},

{-9.434, 17.506, 1.809},

{ 0.0, -0.19101, 0.49438}}

Example:

A = {{1, 3, 4},

{5, 6, 7},

{8, 9, 12}}

(p, h) = hess(A)

p == {{1.0, 0.0, 0.0},

{0.0, -0.530, -0.848},

{0.0, -0.848, 0.530}}

h == {{ 1.0, -4.982, -0.424},

{-9.434, 17.506, 1.809},

{ 0.0, -0.19101, 0.49438}}

p *^ h *^ p' == {{1, 3, 4},

{5, 6, 7},

{8, 9, 12}}

p' *^ p == {{1, 0, 0},

{0, 1, 0},

{0, 0, 1}}

h is the Hessenberg matrix and p is a unitary diagonal matrix such that p *^ h *^ p' == A and p' *^ p == eye(size(A)).

Remarks:

If a matrix is an upper Hessenberg, then elements in the matrix below the first subdiagonal are all zero. If the input matrix is Hermitian or symmetric, the Hessenberg matrix is triangular.
