This work is a continuation of "Fast and backward stable computation of roots of polynomials" by J.L. Aurentz, T. Mach, R. Vandebril, and D.S. Watkins, SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 36(3): 942--973, 2015. In that paper…
A standard approach to compute the roots of a univariate polynomial is to compute the eigenvalues of an associated \emph{confederate} matrix instead, such as, for instance the companion or comrade matrix. The eigenvalues of the confederate…
We consider the computation of roots of polynomials expressed in the Chebyshev basis. We extend the QR iteration presented in [Eidelman, Y., Gemignani, L., and Gohberg, I., Numer. Algorithms, 47.3 (2008): pp. 253-273] introducing an…
We present a scheme for finding all roots of an analytic function in a square domain in the complex plane. The scheme can be viewed as a generalization of the classical approach to finding roots of a function on the real line, by first…
We solve principal component regression (PCR), up to a multiplicative accuracy $1+\gamma$, by reducing the problem to $\tilde{O}(\gamma^{-1})$ black-box calls of ridge regression. Therefore, our algorithm does not require any explicit…

Some fast algorithms for computing the eigenvalues of a block companion matrix $A = U + XY^H$, where $U\in \mathbb C^{n\times n}$ is unitary block circulant and $X, Y \in\mathbb{C}^{n \times k}$, have recently appeared in the literature.…
We introduce a new family of strong linearizations of matrix polynomials---which we call "block Kronecker pencils"---and perform a backward stability analysis of complete polynomial eigenproblems. These problems are solved by applying any…
Although QR iterations dominate in eigenvalue computations, there are several important cases when alternative LR-type algorithms may be preferable. In particular, in the symmetric tridiagonal case where differential qd algorithm with…
As showed in (Fiedler, 1990), any polynomial can be expressed as a characteristic polynomial of a complex symmetric arrowhead matrix. This expression is not unique. If the polynomial is real with only real distinct roots, the matrix can be…
