It generalizes and improves a method introduced in cite{MacVos97} which is based on rational Hermitean interpolation of the secular equation. Taking advantage of a further rational approximation of the secular equation which is essentially for free and which yields lower bounds of lambda_1 we obtain an improved stopping criterion.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/eigenvalue problemToeplitz matrixsecular equationMathematikA Method of Order 1+SQRT(3) for Computing the Smallest Eigenvalue of a Symmetric Toeplitz MatrixTechnical Report2006-03-01urn:nbn:de:gbv:830-opus-222310.15480/882.160EigenwertproblemToeplitz-MatrixEigenvalues, eigenvectors11420/16210.15480/882.160930768128Technical Report
