In this thesis we address the computation of a spectral decomposition for symmetric
banded matrices. In light of dealing with large-scale matrices, where classical dense
linear algebra routines are not applicable, it is essential to design alternative tech ...
We determine the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of clamped plates under large compression by relating this problem to eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions. Using the method of fundamental solutions, we then carry out a numerical ...
We consider bifurcation from the line of trivial solutions for a nonlinear eigenvalue problem on a bounded open subset, Omega, of R-N with N >= 3, containing 0. The leading term is a degenerate elliptic operator of the form L(u) = del . A del u where A is ...
The QZ algorithm for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix pencil A - lambda B requires that the matrices first be reduced to Hessenberg-triangular (HT) form. The current method of choice for HT reduction relies entirely on Givens rotations re ...
We present a nonlinear eigenvalue solver enabling the calculation of bound solutions of the Schrodinger equation in a system with contacts. We discuss how the imposition of contacts leads to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem and discuss the numerics for a one ...
This paper deals with adhesive frictionless normal contact between one elastic flat solid and one stiff solid with rough surface. After computation of the equilibrium solution of the energy minimization principle and respecting the contact constraints, we ...
Following earlier work on some special cases [17,11] and on the analogous problem in higher dimensions [10,20], we make a more thorough investigation of the bifurcation points for a nonlinear boundary value problem of the form -{A(x)u' (x)}'.= f (lambda, x ...
Low-rank tensor approximation techniques attempt to mitigate the overwhelming complexity of linear algebra tasks arising from high-dimensional applications. In this work, we study the low-rank approximability of solutions to linear systems and eigenvalue p ...
We consider the numerical approximation of high order Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) defined on surfaces in the three dimensional space, with particular emphasis on closed surfaces. We consider computational domains that can be represented by B-spli ...
This paper deals with asymptotic bifurcation, first in the abstract setting of an equation G(u) = lambda u, where G acts between real Hilbert spaces and lambda is an element of R, and then for square-integrable solutions of a second order non-linear ellipt ...
