A Motivational Example for the Numerical Solution of the Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem

نویسنده

  • Stephen M. Alessandrini
چکیده

This paper presents an example of an algebraic eigenvalue problem which can be used to motivate the study of numerical techniques for solving such problems. The problem consists of finding the axis and angle of rotation from a 3 x 3 rotation matrix and is referred to as the axis-angle problem. The problem is used to demonstrate the inverse power method for finding eigenvectors. The axis-angle problem is developed and numerical results are given.

Numerical solution of higher index DAEs using their IAE's structure: Trajectory-prescribed path control problem and simple pendulum

In this paper, we solve higher index differential algebraic equations (DAEs) by transforming them into integral algebraic equations (IAEs). We apply collocation methods on continuous piece-wise polynomials space to solve the obtained higher index IAEs. The efficiency of the given method is improved by using a recursive formula for computing the integral part. Finally, we apply the obtained algo...

Numerical solution of Troesch's problem using Christov rational functions

We present a collocation method to obtain the approximate solution of Troesch's problem which arises in the confinement of a plasma column by radiation pressure and applied physics. By using the Christov rational functions and collocation points, this method transforms Troesch's problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The rate of convergence is shown to be exponential. The numer...

Numerical solution of the Sturm-Liouville problem by using Chebyshev cardinal functions

In this manuscript, a numerical technique is presented for finding the eigenvalues of the regular Sturm-Liouville problems. The Chebyshev cardinal functions are used to approximate the eigenvalues of a regular Sturm-Liouville problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These functions defined by the Chebyshev function of the first kind. By using the operational matrix of derivative the problem ...
