Stable solutions of linear systems involving long chain of matrix multiplications (Q541930): Difference between revisions

The authors propose two numerical methods for solving linear system \((I_n + B_L \dots B_2 B_1)x=b\) arising from the Green's function calculation in the quantum Monte Carlo simulation of interacting electrons. The methods are based on the QR decomposition with column pivoting and the singular value decomposition, respectively, and provide a weakly backward stable solution.
