1 function t = triw(n, alpha, k)
2 %TRIW Upper triangular matrix discussed by Wilkinson and others.
3 % TRIW(N, ALPHA, K) is the upper triangular matrix with ones on
4 % the diagonal and ALPHAs on the first K >= 0 superdiagonals.
5 % N may be a 2-vector, in which case the matrix is N(1)-by-N(2) and
6 % upper trapezoidal.
7 % Defaults: ALPHA = -1,
8 % K = N - 1 (full upper triangle).
9 % TRIW(N) is a matrix discussed by Kahan, Golub and Wilkinson.
10 %
11 % Ostrowski (1954) shows that
12 % COND(TRIW(N,2)) = COT(PI/(4*N))^2,
13 % and for large ABS(ALPHA),
14 % COND(TRIW(N,ALPHA)) is approximately ABS(ALPHA)^N*SIN(PI/(4*N-2)).
15 %
16 % Adding -2^(2-N) to the (N,1) element makes TRIW(N) singular,
17 % as does adding -2^(1-N) to all elements in the first column.
