Summary

As noted in the Introduction, in this chapter we consider running the Toda algorithm only until time T(1), the deflation time with block decomposition k = 1 fixed, when the norm of the off-diagonal elements in the first row, and hence the first column, is O(ϵ). Define E(t)=∑n=2N|X1n(t)|2 so that if E(t)=0 then X11(t) is an eigenvalue of H. Thus, with E(t) as in (6.1), the halting time (or 1-deflation time) for the Toda algorithm is given by T(1)(H)=inf{t:E(t)≤ϵ2}.
