Computation of Pseudospectra

March 1999, 49 pages.
There is more to the computation of pseudospectra than the obvious algorithm
of computing singular value decompositions on a grid and sending the results
to a contour plotter. Other methods may be hundreds of times faster. The
state of the art is reviewed, with emphasis on methods for dense matrices,
and a MATLAB code is given.
