I apologize in advance for being slightly off topic. I was hoping someone on this list would know the answer to my question.
I have implemented a double-shift QR algorithm in three languages, C++, Python, and MATLAB. The reason for the Python and MATLAB implementations are to check my C++ version which uses the boost bindings to LAPACK. My problem is that none of the implementations give the same result. Even the QR decompositions are different. I know the QR decomposition isn't unique, but it is only not-unique up to multiplying by -1. At least that's the way I understand it.
Is anyone aware of how I might go about testing my algorithm? Is there a published example I can compare with?
Thanks,
Jeremy
