The Economical Storage of Plane Rotations.
Abstract
The object of this note is to describe how plane rotations can be economically represented on a computer. Plane rotations, which have long been used in matrix computations to annihilate selected elements of a matrix, have the drawback that their definition requires two numbers. In this note it is shown how this information may be stably compacted into a single number. An appendix lists FORTRAN programs for solving linear equations which illustrate the technique described in the body of the note.
