We investigate the performance of the routines in LAPACK and the Successive Band Reduction (SBR) toolbox for the reduction of a dense matrix to tridiagonal form, a crucial preprocessing stage in the solution of the symmetric eigenvalue problem, on general- ...
We complete the picture of sharp eigenvalue estimates for the -Laplacian on a compact manifold by providing sharp estimates on the first nonzero eigenvalue of the nonlinear operator when the Ricci curvature is bounded from below by a negative constant. We ...
This work considers eigenvalue problems that are nonlinear in the eigenvalue parameter. Given such a nonlinear eigenvalue problem T, we are concerned with finding the minimal backward error such that T has a set of prescribed eigenvalues with prescribed al ...
We consider the solution of large-scale symmetric eigenvalue problems for which it is known that the eigenvectors admit a low-rank tensor approximation. Such problems arise, for example, from the discretization of high-dimensional elliptic PDE eigenvalue p ...
Band structure calculations for photonic crystals require the numerical solution of eigenvalue problems. In this paper, we consider crystals composed of lossy materials with frequency-dependent permittivities. Often, these frequency dependencies are modele ...
We present a systematic numerical approach to compute the eigenmodes and the related eigenfrequencies of a disordered photonic crystal, characterized by small fluctuations of the otherwise periodic dielectric profile. The field eigenmodes are expanded on t ...
This work presents a new methodology for computing ground states of Bose-Einstein condensates based on finite element discretizations on two different scales of numerical resolution. In a preprocessing step, a low-dimensional (coarse) generalized finite el ...

In this paper, we propose a novel preconditioned solver for generalized Hermitian eigenvalue problems. More specifically, we address the case of a definite matrix pencil , that is, A, B are Hermitian and there is a shift such that is definite. Our new meth ...
This paper analyzes the microwave gas discharge within elliptical waveguides excited by the fundamental mode. The Rayleigh-Ritz method has been applied to solve the continuity equation. The eigenvalue problem defined by the breakdown condition has been sol ...
This work is concerned with numerical methods for matrix eigenvalue problems that are nonlinear in the eigenvalue parameter. In particular, we focus on eigenvalue problems for which the evaluation of the matrix-valued function is computationally expensive. ...
