An n × n matrix An = (aij) is tri-diagonal if aij = 0 for |i−j|≧2. The latent roots of such matrices may be conveniently studied by forming the sequence of polynomials Ψk(λ)=|λI−Ak|, where Ak is the principal submatrix of Ak+1 obtained by deleting the last row and column of Ak+1, and then observing that these polynomials satisfy the following recurrence relation:
