A note on symplectic block reflectors

Miloud Sadkane and Ahmed Salam

Abstract

A symplectic block reflector is introduced. The parallel with the Euclidean block reflector is studied. Some important features of symplectic block reflectors are given. Algorithms to compute a symplectic block reflector that introduces a desired block of zeros into a matrix are developed.
