    The \(SR\) algorithm is a structure-preserving algorithm for computing the spectrum of symplectic matrices. Any symplectic matrix can be reduced to symplectic butterfly form. A symplectic matrix \(B\) in butterfly form is uniquely determined by \(4n-1\) parameters. Using these \(4n-1\) parameters is shown, how one step of the symplectic \(SR\) algorithm for \(B\) can be carried out in \(O(n)\) arithmetic operation compared to \(O(n^3)\) arithmetic operations when working on the actual symplectic matrix. Moreover, the symplectic structure, which will be destroyed in the numerical process due to roundoff errors when working with a symplectic (butterfly) matrix, will be forced by working just with the parameters.
