Abstract

A computational method for computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a class of matrices that arise in quantum mechanics involving time reversal and inversion symmetry is described. The algorithms presented have greatly reduced the computational effort required to solve this problem and also produce a stable, more accurate solution.
