hi all,
i want to convert any arbitrary matrix into a tridiagonal matrix. i have gone thru Lanczos algorithm also. Can anybody suggest me the most appropriate algorithm

Take a look at Householder and Given transformations. Lanzos is interesting when the matrix-vector product computation is cheap (e.g., sparse matrix), but not very stable.

There is a tone of papers and books on this topic.
