Abstract

In applying the QR 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 QR iteration. Experimental testing demonstrates that the unimodular shift produces more efficient numerical convergence.
