TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a symmetric partial algebraic eigenvalue problem and analyzed the convergence rates of several methods of solving it by means of a preconditioner.
Abstract: In this paper we consider a symmetric partial algebraic eigenvalue problem. In Section 1 we present several estimates for the rates of convergence of some classical algorithms of vector iterations. Estimates of the accuracy of the Rayleigh-Ritz method and of the subspace iterations are considered in Section 2. The convergence rates of several methods of solving generalized eigenvalue problems by means of a preconditioner are analysed in Section 3. Finally, Section 4 deals with the Temple-Lehmann two-sided estimates for eigenvalues. The paper constitutes a systematic review of recent results mainly due to the author. Consider in a Euclidean space H the problem of computing p maximal eigenvalues A! > · · · > λρ and the corresponding eigenvectors for a generalized eigenvalue problem Mu = XLu, M = M*, L = L*>0 (0.1) (to simplify the notation, all the eigenvalues λί > ··· > λρ are taken to be simple). To calculate the minimal eigenvalues of (0.1), we need only to replace Μ by — Μ throughout. In computational practice the problem is traditionally tackled by implicit reduction of the generalized eigenproblem (0.1) to the ordinary one, i.e. ΑΗ = λΐΛ, A = A* (0.2) where, for example, A = L\"M in the space HL equipped with the scalar product (Λ *)*. = (£·,*). In Section 1 we present several estimates for the convergence rates of some classical methods of vector iterations for problem (0.2) with ρ = 1. In Section 2 we consider some estimates for the accuracy of the Rayleigh-Ritz method and of the subspace iterations for problem (0.2) with ρ > 1. In Section 3 we investigate the convergence rates of several methods of solving eigenvalue problem (0.1) using a preconditioner Β = Β* > 0 such that the system Bu = f can be efficiently solved, and the ratio δ, δ = δ0/δΐ9 0<δ0Β*ζΙιζδ1Β (0.3) is as close to 1 as possible. Finally, Section 4 deals with the Temple-Lehmann approach to obtaining two-sided estimates for the eigenvalues of (0.1). The results of this paper can be useful in evaluating the efficiency of various iterative techniques for solving problems of type (0.1), which can occur from the finite difference or finite element discretization of differential eigenvalue problems.

Abstract: The problem of eigenvalue assignments for a class of linear time-varying multivariable systems is considered. Using matrix operators and canonical transformations, it is shown that a time-varying system that is 'lexicography-fixedly controllable' can be made via state feedback to be equivalent to a time-invariant system whose eigenvalues are arbitrarily assignable. A simple algorithm for the design of the state feedback is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, a compressible stability analysis computer code is developed for the boundary layer profiles of an LFC swept wing, which uses a matrix finite-difference method for local eigenvalue solution when a good guess for the eigen value is available.
Abstract: A compressible stability analysis computer code is developed. The code uses a matrix finite-difference method for local eigenvalue solution when a good guess for the eigenvalue is available and is significantly more computationally efficient than the commonly used initial-value approach. The local eigenvalue search procedure also results in eigenfunctions and, at little extra work, group velocities. A globally convergent eigenvalue procedure is also developed that may be used when no guess for the eigenvalue is available. The global problem is formulated in such a way that no unstable spurious modes appear so that the method is suitable for use in a black-box stability code. Sample stability calculations are presented for the boundary layer profiles of an LFC swept wing.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems with singularities in the interior of the interval of definition of the differential equation can be represented by self-adjoint, unbounded differential operators in a suitable chosen Hilbert function space.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems with singularities in the interior of the interval of definition of the differential equation. Such circumstances arise in mathematical models of certain physical problems. It is shown that the eigenvalue problems can be represented by self-adjoint, unbounded differential operators in a suitable chosen Hilbert function space. Numerical values for the eigenvalues can be obtained using the SLEIGN computer programme.

Abstract: A new approach for the complex resonance eigenvalue problem mixing the optical potential model with a perturbational treatment is investigated. The method is illustrated by the study of two model potentials using the collocation approximation. It is shown that resonance eigenvalues can be calculated with a small amount of computer time, i.e. making only a few diagonalizations of the hamiltonian matrix and no overlap integral calculation.

TL;DR: An inverse iteration is developed which requires the solution of linear algebraic systems only to the accuracy demanded by a given subspace, and the rate of convergence of the method is established, and a technique for improving it is discussed.
Abstract: An algorithm for computing a few of the smallest (or largest) eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors of the large sparse generalized eigenvalue problem Ax = ABx is presented. The matrices A and B are assumed to be symmetric, and haphazardly sparse, with B being positive definite. The problem is treated as one of constrained optimization and an inverse iteration is developed which requires the solution of linear algebraic systems only to the accuracy demanded by a given subspace. The rate of convergence of the method is established, and a technique for improving it is discussed. Numerical experiments and comparisons with other methods are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the eigenvalue problems of singularly perturbed linear ODEs are studied and a local stability analysis of the time-dependent semiconductor device equations via an eigen value problem is performed, and approximate eigenvalues in the case of a symmetric diode in the equilibrium state are computed.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with eigenvalue problems of singularly perturbed linear ordinary differential equations. A common way to treat such problems is to derive an approximating eigenvalue problem by the use of matched asymptotic expansions.It is shown that under appropriate assumptions a domain in the complex plane can be identified, in which the eigenvalues of the approximating problem are isolated and that the eigenvalues and invariant subspaces of the singularly perturbed problem converge to these eigenvalues and corresponding invariant subspaces of the approximating eigenvalue problem as the perturbation parameter tends to zero.As an application a local stability analysis of the time-dependent semiconductor device equations via an eigenvalue problem is performed, and approximations of the eigenvalues in the case of a symmetric diode in the equilibrium state are computed.

TL;DR: In this article, a completely parallel algorithm for the symmetric eigenvalue problem AX = Lambda X is presented, in which a large number of operations can be programmed to be performed concurrently on a computer with multiple central processing units.
Abstract: A completely parallel algorithm for the symmetric eigenproblem AX = Lambda BX is outlined. The algorithm is parallel in the sense that the numerical operations do not occur in a fixed sequence. Therefore, a large number of operations can be programmed to be performed concurrently on a computer with multiple central processing units. The standard symmetric eigenvalue problem AX = Lambda X has the property that the n eigenvalues of the principal submatrix of A of order n are separated by the (n-1) eignvalues of the principal submatrix of order (n-1). The separation property delineated n intervals containing one eigenvalue. Each eigenvalue and corresponding eigenvector can be computed independently. The n eigenproblem calculations can be divided among multiple processing units.

TL;DR: In this paper, a straightforward application of the Pi Theorem will reveal the presence of an eigenvalue condition and will also provide some information about the form of the eigen value condition.
Abstract: The Pi Theorem of dimensional analysis says that the solution to any problem can be expressed using just dimensionless combinations of the relevant quantities. The illustrations given show that in some problems a straightforward application of the Pi Theorem will reveal the presence of an eigenvalue condition and will also provide some information about the form of the eigenvalue condition. This can happen even when the investigator is not specifically seeking the eigenvalue condition. These same illustrations make it clear why the presence of homogeneous rather than nonhomogeneous boundary conditions can result in an eigenvalue condition being present rather than absent.

TL;DR: By using the expansions of piecewise-linear polynomial functions, the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem can be dealt with as a set of linear algebraic equations as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: By using the expansions of piecewise-linear polynomial functions, the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem can be dealt with as a set of linear algebraic equations. Owing to the available recursive algorithm, these linear algebraic equations can be solved by straightforward substitution. An iterative improvement is used for finding eigenvalues in order to speed up the convergence. The usefulness of this method is demonstrated by an example and the results are satisfactory.
