Smoothed analysis of componentwise condition numbers for sparse matrices

Numerical Analysis 2013-02-26 v1

Abstract

We perform a smoothed analysis of the componentwise condition numbers for determinant computation, matrix inversion, and linear equations solving for sparse n times n matrices. The bounds we obtain for the ex- pectations of the logarithm of these condition numbers are, in all three cases, of the order O(log n). As a consequence, small bounds on the smoothed loss of accuracy for triangular linear systems follow.
