We consider the numerical evaluation of the quantity $Af(A^{-1}B)$, where $A$ is Hermitian positive definite, $B$ is Hermitian, and $f$ is a function defined on the spectrum of $A^{-1}B$. This problem is related to the Hermitian-definite…

A square, upper-triangular matrix U is a Cholesky root of a matrix M provided U*U=M, where * represents the conjugate transpose. Over finite fields, as well as over the reals, it suffices for U^TU=M. In this paper, we investigate the number…

We analyze two algorithms for computing the symplectic $LL^T$ factorization $A=LL^T$ of a given symmetric positive definite symplectic matrix $A$. The first algorithm $W_1$ is an implementation of the $HH^T$ factorization from [Dopico et…
