Abstract

In this paper, we perform a roundoff error analysis of an integration-based method for computing the matrix sign function recently proposed by Nakaya and Tanaka. The method expresses the matrix sign function using an integral representation and computes the integral numerically by the double-exponential formula. While the method has large-grain parallelism and works well for well-conditioned matrices, its accuracy deteriorates when the input matrix is ill-conditioned or highly nonnormal. We investigate the reason for this phenomenon by a detailed roundoff error analysis.
