A Fast Compensated Algorithm for Computing Givens Rotations

Abstract: We develop a very simple compensated scheme for computing very accurate Givens rotations. The approach is significantly more straightforward than the one in \cite{borges2021fast}, and the derivation leads to a very satisfying algorithm whereby a naively computed Givens rotation can be used to construct a correction to itself. It is also seen that this scheme continues to provide high accuracy even when built on a hypoteneuse calculation that is of lesser accuracy.
