Abstract

An algorithm for computing the antitriangular factorization of symmetric matrices, relying only on orthogonal transformations, was recently proposed. The computed antitriangular form straightforwardly reveals the inertia of the matrix. A block version of the latter algorithm was described in a different paper, where it was noticed that the algorithm sometimes fails to compute the correct inertia of the matrix.In this paper we analyze a possible cause of the failure of detecting the inertia and propose a procedure to recover it. Furthermore, we propose a different algorithm to compute the antitriangular factorization of a symmetric matrix that handles most of the singularities of the matrix at the very end of the algorithm.Numerical results are also given showing the reliability of the proposed algorithm.
