An APL Procedure for Computing the Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of a Real Symmetric Matrix
An APL procedure is presented for rapid, efficient computation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix. Since APL has an interpreter, but not a compiler, many iterative procedures are very slow when executed in APL. In this paper, the writers develop a highly compact way of coding an iterative procedure in APL and then apply it to Kaiser's JK method of computing eigenvectors. The resulting APL program is presented in the Ap…
