Non-Unit Bidiagonal Matrices for Factorization of Vandermonde Matrices

Full Text PDF

Abstract:

A non-unit bidiagonal matrix and its inverse with simple structures are introduced. These matrices can be constructed easily using the entries of a given non-zero vector without any computations among the entries. The matrix transforms the given vector to a column of the identity matrix. The given vector can be computed back without any round off error using the inverse matrix. Since a Vandermonde matrix can also be constructed using given n quantities, it is established in this paper that Vandermonde matrices can be factorized in a simple way by applying these bidiagonal matrices. Also it is demonstrated that factors of Vandermonde and inverse Vandermonde matrices can be conveniently presented using the matrices introduced here.
