Abstract

An iterative method based on perturbation theory in matrix form is described as a procedure to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of square matrices. Practical vector notation and elementary schematic algorithm codes are given. The particular programming characteristics of the present computational scheme are based upon eigenvector corrections, obtained through a simple Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory algorithm. The proposed methodological processes can be used to evaluate the eigensystem of large matrices.
