High-performance algorithms to solve Toeplitz and block Toeplitz matrices
… Toeplitz matrices are the Schur and the Levinson-Durbin. The former factors the Toeolitz matrix itself while the latter factors the inverse. In this thesis, we present several high performance variants of the classical Schur algorithm to factor various Toeplitz matrices. For positive definite …
