%0 Journal Article %T A weakly stable algorithm for general Toeplitz systems %A Adam W. Bojanczyk %A Richard P. Brent %A Frank R. de Hoog %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/BF02140770 %X We show that a fast algorithm for the QR factorization of a Toeplitz or Hankel matrix A is weakly stable in the sense that R^T.R is close to A^T.A. Thus, when the algorithm is used to solve the semi-normal equations R^T.Rx = A^Tb, we obtain a weakly stable method for the solution of a nonsingular Toeplitz or Hankel linear system Ax = b. The algorithm also applies to the solution of the full-rank Toeplitz or Hankel least squares problem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.0503v1
