Conditioning and backward error of block-symmetric block-tridiagonal linearizations of matrix polynomials

AbstractFor each square matrix polynomial $P(lambda)$ of odd degree, a block-symmetric block-tridiagonal pencil $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$ was introduced by Antoniou and Vologiannidis in 2004, and a variation $mathcal{R}_P(lambda)$ was introduced by Mackey et al. in 2010. These two pencils have several appealing properties, namely they are always strong linearizations of $P(lambda)$, they are easy to construct from the coefficients of $P(lambda)$, the eigenvectors of $P(lambda)$ can be recovered easily from those of $mathcal{T}_P(lambda)$ and $mathcal{R}_P(lambda)$, the two pencils are symmetric (resp. Hermitian) when $P(lambda)$ is, and they preserve the sign characteristic of $P(lambda)$ when $P(lambda)$ is Hermitian. In this paper we study the numerical behavior of $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$ and $mathcal{R}_P(lambda)$. We compare the conditioning of a finite, nonzero, simple eigenvalue $delta$ of $P(lambda)$, when considered an eigenvalue of $P(lambda)$ and an eigenvalue of $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$. We also compare the backward error of an approximate eigenpair $(z,delta)$ of $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$ with the backward error of an approximate eigenpair $(x,delta)$ of $P(lambda)$, where $x$ was recovered from $z$ in an appropriate way. When the matrix coefficients of $P(lambda)$ have similar norms and $P(lambda)$ is scaled so that the largest norm of the matrix coefficients of $P(lambda)$ is one, we conclude that $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$ and $mathcal{R}_P(lambda)$ have good numerical properties in terms of eigenvalue conditioning and backward error. Moreover, we compare the numerical behavior of $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$ with that of other well-studied linearizations in the literature, and conclude that $mathcal{T}_{P}(lambda)$ performs better than these linearizations when $P(lambda)$ has odd degree and has been scaled.
