TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the right eigenvalue equation for quaternionic and complex linear matrix operators defined in n-dimensional quaternion vector spaces, and they gave a necessary and sufficient condition for the diagonalization of their representations.
Abstract: We study the right eigenvalue equation for quaternionic and complex linear matrix operators defined in n -dimensional quaternionic vector spaces. For quaternionic linear operators the eigenvalue spectrum consists of n complex values. For these operators we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the diagonalization of their quaternionic matrix representations. Our discussion is also extended to complex linear operators, whose spectrum is characterized by 2n complex eigenvalues. We show that a consistent analysis of the eigenvalue problem for complex linear operators requires the choice of a complex geometry in defining inner products. Finally, we introduce some examples of the left eigenvalue equations and highlight the main difficulties in their solution.

TL;DR: A nonsmooth algorithm to minimize the maximum eigenvalue of matrices belonging to an affine subspace of n×n symmetric matrices is presented and some strict complementarity and non-degeneracy assumptions are needed.
Abstract: In this paper we present a nonsmooth algorithm to minimize the maximum eigenvalue of matrices belonging to an affine subspace of n×n symmetric matrices. We show how a simple bundle method, the approximate eigenvalue method can be used to globalize the second-order method developed by M.L. Overton in the eighties and recently revisited in the framework of the ?-Lagrangian theory. With no additional assumption, the resulting algorithm generates a minimizing sequence. A geometrical and constructive proof is given. To prove that quadratic convergence is achieved asymptotically, some strict complementarity and non-degeneracy assumptions are needed. We also introduce new variants of bundle methods for semidefinite programming.

TL;DR: An eigenvalue-based characterization of positive realness of transfer functions of a single-input single output time-invariant linear system is derived and an efficient computational procedure to determine if a given transfer function is positive real is proposed.
Abstract: An eigenvalue-based characterization of positive realness of transfer functions of a single-input single output time-invariant linear system is derived. Based on this characterization, we propose an efficient computational procedure to determine if a given transfer function is positive real. The input for this eigenvalue-based test is any given, not necessarily minimal, state-space representation of the linear system. The test only involves standard matrix computations, such as computing eigenvalues of a matrix or a matrix pencil. Results of numerical experiments are reported.

TL;DR: In this article, the eigenvalue problem on nite intervals of length n with periodic boundary conditions is studied and the limit eigen value distribution is supported by curves in the complex plane.
Abstract: Random Schrodinger operators with imaginary vector potentials are studied in di- mension one. These operators are non-Hermitian and their spectra lie in the complex plane. We consider the eigenvalue problem on nite intervals of length n with periodic boundary conditions and describe the limit eigenvalue distribution when n !1 . We prove that this limit distribu- tion is supported by curves in the complex plane. We also obtain equations for these curves and for the corresponding eigenvalue density in terms of the Lyapunov exponent and the integrated density of states of a \reference" symmetric eigenvalue problem. In contrast to these results, the spectrum of the limit operator in l 2 (Z) is a two dimensional set which is not approximated by the spectra of the nite-interval operators.

TL;DR: The generalized integral transform technique (GITT) is employed in obtaining formal solutions for eigenvalue problems of the Sturm-Liouville type, described by multidimensional partial differential models within irregularly shaped domains.
Abstract: The generalized integral transform technique (GITT) is employed in obtaining formal solutions for eigenvalue problems of the Sturm-Liouville type, described by multidimensional partial differential models within irregularly shaped domains. The successive elimination of independent variables in the appropriate order through integral transformations produces the associated algebraic eigenvalue problem, which is then readily solved by algorithms from scientific subroutine libraries. A representative example of the known exact solution is presented, of particular interest to the field of heat and mass diffusion, for validation purposes.

TL;DR: Modifications to the LAPACK subroutine for reducing a symmetric banded matrix to tridiagonal form improve the performance for larger-bandwidth problems and reduce the number of operations when accumulating the transformations onto the identity matrix, by taking advantage of the structure of the initial matrix.
Abstract: In this paper we explain some of the changes that have been incorporated in the latest version of the LAPACK subroutine for reducing a symmetric banded matrix to tridiagonal form. These modifications improve the performance for larger-bandwidth problems and reduce the number of operations when accumulating the transformations onto the identity matrix, by taking advantage of the structure of the initial matrix. We show that similar modifications can be made to the LAPACK subroutines for reducing a symmetric positive definite generalized eigenvalue problem to a standard symmetric banded eigenvalue problem and for reducing a general banded matrix to bidiagonal form to facilitate the computation of the singular values of the matrix.

TL;DR: The proposed algorithm is computationally efficient because it not only retains the speed inherent in the Remez exchange algorithm but also simplifies the interpolation step.
Abstract: This paper presents an efficient method for designing complex infinite impulse response digital filters in the complex Chebyshev sense. The proposed method is based on the formulation of a generalized eigenvalue problem by using the Remez multiple exchange algorithm. Hence, the filter coefficients can be easily obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem to find the absolute minimum eigenvalue, and then the complex Chebyshev approximation is attained through a few iterations starting from a given initial guess. The proposed algorithm is computationally efficient because it not only retains the speed inherent in the Remez exchange algorithm but also simplifies the interpolation step. Some design examples are presented and compared with the conventional methods. It is shown that the results obtained by using the method proposed in this paper are better than those obtained by the conventional methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the eigenvalue problem on finite intervals of length $n$ with periodic boundary conditions was studied and the limit eigen value distribution when $n $ goes to infinity.
Abstract: Random Schrodinger operators with imaginary vector potentials are studied in dimension one. These operators are non-Hermitian and their spectra lie in the complex plane. We consider the eigenvalue problem on finite intervals of length $n$ with periodic boundary conditions and describe the limit eigenvalue distribution when $n$ goes to infinity. We prove that this limit distribution is supported by curves in the complex plane. We also obtain equations for these curves and for the corresponding eigenvalue density in terms of the Lyapunov exponent and the integrated density of states of a "reference" symmetric eigenvalue problem. In contrast to these results, the spectrum of the limit operator in $\ell^2(Z)$ is a two dimensional set which is not approximated by the spectra of the finite-interval operators.

TL;DR: Test cases illustrating this problem will be presented, and reparations to the standard software proposed, are proposed.
Abstract: Elementary plane rotations are one of the building blocks of numerical linear algebra and are employed in reducing matrices to condensed form for eigenvalue computations and during the QR algorithm. Unfortunately, their implementation in standard packages such as EISPACK, the BLAS and LAPACK lack the continuity of their mathematical formulation, which makes results from software that use them sensitive to perturbations. Test cases illustrating this problem will be presented, and reparations to the standard software proposed.

TL;DR: This paper shows an effective way of resolving eigenvalue problems of full three-dimensional elasticity for thin elastic structures by invoking a special preconditioning technique associated with the effective dimensional reduction algorithm (EDRA).
Abstract: We present a methodology for the efficient numerical solution of eigenvalue problems of full three-dimensional elasticity for thin elastic structures, such as shells, plates and rods of arbitrary geometry, discretized by the finite element method. Such problems are solved by iterative methods, which, however, are known to suffer from slow convergence or even convergence failure, when the thickness is small. In this paper we show an effective way of resolving this difficulty by invoking a special preconditioning technique associated with the effective dimensional reduction algorithm (EDRA). As an example, we present an algorithm for computing the minimal eigenvalue of a thin elastic plate and we show both theoretically and numerically that it is robust with respect to both the thickness and discretization parameters, i.e. the convergence does not deteriorate with diminishing thickness or mesh refinement. This robustness is sine qua non for the efficient computation of large-scale eigenvalue problems for thin elastic structures.

The argument here uses prior results of the authors on the generalized solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces and associated maximum/minimum principles [17] coupled with known results of Krein-Rutman type.

Abstract: We study the criterion for a new eigenvalue to appear in the linear spectral problem associated with the intermediate long-wave equation. We compute the asymptotic value of the new eigenvalue in the limit of a small potential using a Fourier decomposition method. We compare the results with those for the Schrodinger operator with a radially symmetrical potential.
