Abstract

In this paper we initiate a program to study the controllability properties of matrix eigenvalue algorithms arising in numerical linear algebra. Our focus is on a well-known eigenvalue method, the inverse power iteration defined on projective space. A complete characterization of the reachable sets and their closures is given via cyclic invariant subspaces. Moreover, a necessary and sufficient condition for almost controllability of the inverse power method is derived.
