Calculates A - BTAB.
Labels used: A, 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Registers used: R0, Rj, R2 (off-diagonal sum), and R3
Matrices used: A (A/), B (Q;), and C.
To use the program:
1. Press 4 [TJ|DIM |full to reserve registers R0 through R4.
2. Press |T1| USER |to activate User mode.
3. Dimension and enter the elements of matrix A using |T|[P|M I
fA~l and |STO| fA~l. The dimensions can be up to 4 X 4, provided
that there is sufficient memory available for matrices B and
C having the same dimensions also.
4. Press [A] to calculate and display the off-diagonal ratio.
5. Press | R/S| repeatedly until the displayed ratio is negligible,
say less than 10~8.
6. Press | RCL|fA~1 repeatedly to observe the elements of matrix A.
The diagonal elements are the eigenvalues.
