From bug-octave-request at che dot utexas dot edu Sat Sep 3 15:26:57 1994 Subject: schur incorrectly returns transpose of answer From: Edward Scott Meadows To: bug-octave Date: Sat, 3 Sep 1994 15:26:56 -0500 The function schur seems to be returning the transpose of what is documented and what is standard in, say, Golub and Van Loan. We want [u,s]=schur(a) to produce u and s such that u'*s*u=a. What is actually being returned satisfies u*s*u'=a. --esm
