rosser

Classic symmetric eigenvalue test problem

Syntax

A = rosser

A = rosser(classname)

Description

A = rosser returns the Rosser matrix in double precision.

A = rosser(classname) returns the Rosser matrix with a class specified by classname. Specify classname as 'single' to return the Rosser matrix in single precision.

Examples

Generate the Rosser Matrix

rosser returns the Rosser matrix.

Generate Matrix of Class ‘single’

Specify classname as single to return a Rosser matrix of that class.

Y = rosser('single')

Y = 8×8 single matrix

Input Arguments

classname — Input class

'double' (default) | 'single'

Input class, specified as 'double' (default) or 'single'. rosser(C) produces a matrix of the specified class.

More About

Rosser Matrix

The Rosser matrix is a well known matrix used, for example, to evaluate eigenvalue algorithms. The matrix is 8-by-8 with integer elements. It has:

• A double eigenvalue

• Three nearly equal eigenvalues

• Dominant eigenvalues of the opposite sign

• A zero eigenvalue

• A small, nonzero eigenvalue
