Abstract:In this paper we will adapt a known method for diagonal scaling of symmetric positive definite tridiagonal matrices towards the semiseparable case. Based on the fact that a symmetric, positive definite tridiagonal matrix T satisfies property A, one can easily construct a diagonal matrix (D) over cap such that (D) over capT (D) over cap has the lowest condition number over all matrices DTD, for any choice of diagonal matrix D. Knowing that semiseparable matrices are the inverses of tridiagonal matrices, one can… Show more
