RTB codes for Fall 2006
This directory contains the Matlab functions (revised on November
27, 2006 to work in Matlab, since the original versions used a number
of octave-specific extensions) related to the
supplement on A robust method for finding
characteristic polynomials. The files are:
- polyf.m The basic routine for generating the
characteristic polynomial and the matrices that drive the algorithm.
- syndivf.m A synthetic division
program to evaluate a matrix polynomial.
- shift.m A routine that uses synthetic
division to replace the array of coefficients of P(x) with those of P(c+y).
