Abstract: We propose a novel parallel numerical algorithm for calculating the smallest eigenvalues of highly ill-conditioned matrices. It is based on the {it LDLT} decomposition and involves finding a kimesk sub-matrix of the inverse of the original NimesN Hankel matrix HN1 . The computation involves extremely high precision arithmetic, message passing interface, and shared memory parallelisation. We demonstrate that this approach achieves good scalability on a high performance computing cluster (HPCC) which constitute a major improvement of the earlier approaches. We use this method to study a family of Hankel matrices generated by the weight supported on [0,infty) and Such weight generates Hankel determinant, a fundamental object in random matrix theory. In the situation where the smallest eigenvalue tend to 0, exponentially fast as N gets large. If the situation where the classical moment problem is indeterminate, the smallest eigenvalue is bounded from below by a positive number for all N, including infinity. If it is conjectured that the smallest eigenvalue tends to 0 algebraically, with a precise exponent. The algorithm run on the HPCC producing fantastic match between the theoretical value of 2/pi and the numerical result.
