Abstract

In [3] the authors show that the QR algorithm to compute the eigenvalues of a matrix is the integer time evaluation of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system. Here the authors show that all the associated commuting integrals generate flows that can be solved explicitly via a factorization procedure on a suitable finite, or infinite‐dimensional, Lie algebra.
