Abstract:

In applying the $Q\!R$ algorithm to compute the eigenvalues of a unitary Hessenberg matrix, a projected Wilkinson shift of unit modulus is proposed and proved to give global convergence with (at least) a quadratic asymptotic rate for the $Q\!R$ iteration. Experimental testing demonstrates that the unimodular shift produces more efficient numerical convergence.
