Review:
Under a new name we find here the method of inverse iterations
(cf. J. H. Wilkinson, The Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem,
Clarendon, Oxford, 1965). The author performs its error
analysis and emphasizes that although the ``local" rate of its
convergence is cubic, a difficulty may be encountered in a
``global" setting where, in principle, the residual function may
possess a saddle point. After one avoids this trap, the
efficiency of the algorithm is kept reasonable by performing the
necessary re-orthogonalizations ``selectively" and by working
with the band matrices possessing a narrow bandwith.
