The QR algorithm: 50 years later its genesis by John Francis and Vera Kublanovskaya and subsequent developments. (English) Zbl 1169.65032

Summary: Fifty years after the invention of the QR algorithm by John G. F. Francis [Comput. J. 4, 265–271, 332–345 (1961; Zbl 0104.34304)] and V. N. Kublanovskaya [ibid. 2, 17–19 (1961); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 136, 26–28 (1961; Zbl 0104.10102)] we reconstruct the ideas and the influences that led to its genesis from the originators’ own recollections and their sources and give an account of some of its subsequent developments.
