Quadratic Eigenvalue Problem

Quadratic Eigenvalue Problem

In mathematics, the quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP), is to find scalar eigenvalues, left eigenvectors and right eigenvectors such that

where, with matrix coefficients and we require that, (so that we have a nonzero leading coefficient). There are eigenvalues that may be infinite or finite, and possibly zero. This is a special case of a nonlinear eigenproblem. is also known as a quadratic matrix polynomial.

Famous quotes containing the word problem:

    The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life—this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot.
