Matrix Bruhat decompositions with a remark on the QR (GR) algorithm Original Research Article

In a simple and systematic way we present matrix Bruhat decompositions of two kinds: basic and modified. We show that it is the modified Bruhat decomposition that governs the eigenvalue disorder in the QR (GR) algorithm. This paper can be considered as a commentary on a previous observation about the QR algorithm made by Wilkinson.
