Jan 25, 2011 at 21:14 comment added user11046 Oh, I just meant that there might be an algorithm designed specifically for SPD matrices that will let you calculate the largest eigenvalue. If you just want a solution in general, then you can use something like the Power Method, which you can probably find in both of the books that Suvrit cited, or on wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_iteration).
Jan 25, 2011 at 20:29 comment added Zenon By definition: let be $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n};\;||A||_{2} = max_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \frac{||Ax||_{2}}{||x||_{2}}$. So I understand how an $\textit{optimal algorithm}$ might be useful, but could you elaborate on it? (provide a link or state the algorithm)?
