Explicit formula for Cholesky factorization in a special case

I have a positive definite matrix of the form $Q+sI-\alpha J$ ($s>2, 0 < \alpha <1$ and $J$ is the all-ones matrix), where $Q$ is "nice", nonnegative and known. I'd like to know if there is a way to obtain an explicit expression for the Cholesky factorization of my matrix in this special case. Thanks!

The matrix $\alpha J$ is a rank one matrix, so there are simple update/downdate formulas for computing the Choleksy factorization of $Q+sI-\alpha J$ if you start with the factorization of $Q+sI$.
I'm not aware of any update formulas that get you from the Cholesky factorization of $Q$ to a Cholesky factorization of $Q+sI$.
Let me also mention that if $\alpha$ is fixed and you want to vary $s$, then you might find that a better way to go is to compute the eigenvalue decomposition of $Q-\alpha J$, and then adjust for $sI$ by adding $s$ to the eigenvalues. –  Brian Borchers Apr 26 '12 at 4:52
Well, actually it's $\alpha$ that's varying and $s$ is fixed. Thanks for the reference, I'll be sure to read. –  Felix Goldberg Apr 29 '12 at 14:08
