Errata

• Page 3, (1.4): there is an unwanted right parenthesis in the (1,m_k) position.
• Page 4, line 6: replace E_k by N_k.

• Page 31, Problem 1.33: the displayed matrix should have an extra superdiagonal of 1s inserted immediately above the main diagonal, so that $$ A = \left[ \matrix{ 1 & 1 & \frac{1}{2!} & \frac{1}{3!} & \dots & \frac{1}{(n-2)!} \cr & 1 & 1 & \frac{1}{2!} & & \vdots \cr & & 1 & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots \cr & & & \ddots & \ddots &\frac{1}{2!} \cr & & & & \ddots & 1 \cr & & & & & 1 \cr }\right] $$.
• Page 80, line 1: should read "[0/0], [1/1], [2/2], ...".
• Page 86: In lines 1 and 2 of Algorithm 4.14, n should be m, where T is block m-by-m.
• Page 97, last displayed equation should read $$ \norm{E_k} \le c \norm{E_0} + c \norm{E_{k-1}} c \sum_{i=1}^{k-1} o( \norm{E_{k-1-i}} ) \le c \norm{E_0} + (1+(k-1)c) \cdot o( \norm{E_0} ). $$
• Page 114, line 6: remove the period inside parentheses and replace "It" by "it" on the following line.
• Page 120, line 5: should read "the $\lambda_i$ are".
• Page 160, line -14 should read "if $A$ is a nonsingular $M$-matrix with $0< a_{ii} \le 1$ for all $i$ then all the iterates $X_k$ (or $Z_k$ in the case of iteration (6.19)) have the same properties.
• Page 161, Theorem 6.10 should say "A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}" and the sentence before the theorem should say "real $H$-matrices".
• Page 217, line -3: the parentheses should read ("Berberian's trick").
• Page 224, line 9 of Algorithm 9.4 should read \omega_{s+1+r} and on line 10 add, just before "quit", "F = F_s".
• Page 222, line 9: $M^n=0$ should read $N^n=0$.
• Page 228, in line 6 of Algorithm 9.6 i should be j; in line 8 of Algorithm 9.6 j should be i.
• Page 234, Table 10.1: formula in (3,2) position should read $Q e^T Q^*$.
• Page 246, line 7: the first right parenthesis after $I$ should be deleted.
• Page 247, third line above Theorem 10.21: "scaling" should read "squaring".
• Page 253, line 2: "larger" should read "smaller".
• Page 265, Problem 10.6 should read "cond_abs(exp,A)".
• Page 266, Problem 10.16 should read "rounding errors in the squaring phase".
• Page 274, line 8 should read "$m$-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule"
• Page 275, line -10: extra right parenthesis needed before the final "|".
• Page 280, line 1: the U should be in the mathcal font.
• Page 283, line 11 of Algorithm 11.12: $L = 2G_0$ should read $L = 2G_1$.
• Page 283, 7 lines before Section 11.9: should read "Algorithm 11.2 can be combined".
• Page 330, line 5: should read "on Hermitian matrices".
• Page 332, 9 lines before Section B.16: should read "a complex addition requires 2 real additions".
