Abstract

In this paper, a new approach to the solution of the inverse eigenvalue problem for symmetric matrices is obtained by means of linearization of the Lie group $SO(n)$. The method formulated is motivated by an earlier approach which used classical Newton’s method to solve inverse eigenvalue problem for symmetric matrices. In both the cases, initialization of the iteration is implemented utilizing a related singular symmetric matrix. Numerical illustration for the case of $2 \times 2$ symmetric matrices is presented. Comparing the results of the computation, it was found that the two methods were in agreement.
