Determination of Real Eigenvalues of a Real Matrix
8-80

A. E. Sapega, Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut
This is a two-part program for determining the real eigen-
values of a real-valued matrix. The matrix does not have to
be symmetric. Part I uses the power method of iterating on
an eigenvector to determine the largest eigenvalue of the
matrix. Part II then deflates the matrix using the results of
Part I so as to produce a matrix of order one less than that
solved for in Part I. Part I can then be reloaded, and the
next eigenvalue in line may be calculated. In this, all the
real eigenvalues may be computed in order.
