Suppose A is tridiagonal and symmetric in the QR method. From A1 = Q-1 AQ show that A1 is symmetric. Write A1 = RAR-1 to show that A1 is also tridiagonal. (If the lower part of A1 is proved tridiagonal then by symmetry the upper part is too.) Symmetric tridiagonal matrices are the best way to start in the QR method.

Question

Suppose A is tridiagonal and symmetric in the QR method. From A1 = Q-1 AQ show that A1 is symmetric. Write A1 = RAR-1 to show that A1 is also tridiagonal. (If the lower part of A1 is proved tridiagonal then by symmetry the upper part is too.) Symmetric tridiagonal matrices are the best way to start in the QR method.

Expert Solution
Introduction

As per the question we are given a tridiagonal matrix whose QR decomposition is symmetric. Next we are given a matrix A1  Q-1AQ and we have to show that A1 is symmetric as well as tridiagonal.
