Eigendecomposition of Block Tridiagonal Matrices

چکیده
Block tridiagonal matrices arise in applied mathematics, physics, and signal processing. Many applications require knowledge of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of block tridiagonal matrices, which can be prohibitively expensive for large matrix sizes. In this paper, we address the problem of the eigendecomposition of block tridiagonal matrices by studying a connection between their eigenvalues and zeros of appropriate matrix polynomials. We use this connection with matrix polynomials to derive a closed-form expression for the eigenvectors of block tridiagonal matrices, which eliminates the need for their direct calculation and can lead to a faster calculation of eigenvalues. We also demonstrate with an example that our work can lead to fast algorithms for the eigenvector expansion for block tridiagonal matrices.

Discrete fractional Fourier transform based on the eigenvectors of tridiagonal and nearly tridiagonal matrices
The recent emergence of the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRFT) has caused a revived interest in the eigenanalysis of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix F with the objective of generating orthonormal Hermite-Gaussian-like eigenvectors. The Grünbaum tridiagonal matrix T – which commutes with matrix F – has only one repeated eigenvalue with multiplicity two and simple remaining...
متن کاملDeterminants of Block Tridiagonal Matrices
A tridiagonal matrix with entries given by square matrices is a block tridiagonal matrix; the matrix is banded if off-diagonal blocks are upper or lower triangular. Such matrices are of great importance in numerical analysis and physics, and to obtain general properties is of great utility. The blocks of the inverse matrix of a block tridiagonal matrix can be factored in terms of two sets of ma...

A block representation of the BLU factorization for block tridiagonal matrices is presented. Some properties on the factors obtained in the course of the factorization are studied. Simpler expressions for errors incurred at the process of the factorization for block tridiagonal matrices are considered.

In this paper, at first for a given set of real or complex numbers $sigma$ with nonnegative summation, we introduce some special conditions that with them there is no nonnegative tridiagonal matrix in which $sigma$ is its spectrum. In continue we present some conditions for existence such nonnegative tridiagonal matrices.
متن کاملNumerically Stable Algorithms for Inversion of Block Tridiagonal and Banded Matrices
We provide a new representation for the inverse of block tridiagonal and banded matrices. The new representation is shown to be numerically stable over a variety of block tridiagonal matrices, in addition of being more computationally efficient than the previously proposed techniques. We provide two algorithms for commonly encountered problems that illustrate the usefulness of the results.
