Gradient iterations for the Rayleigh quotient are elemental methods for computing the smallest eigenvalues of a pair of symmetric and positive definite matrices. A considerable convergence acceleration can be achieved by preconditioning and by computing Rayleigh-Ritz approximations from subspaces of increasing dimensions. An example of the resulting Krylov subspace eigensolvers is the generaliz...

This paper addresses a challenging problem in computational mechanics—the analysis of thick shallow shells vibrating at high modes. Existing methods encounter significant difficulties for such a problem due to numerical instability. A new numerical approach, DSC-Ritz method, is developed by taking the advantages of both the discrete singular convolution (DSC) wavelet kernels of the Dirichlet ty...

By the semi-inverse method, a variational principle is obtained for the Lane–Emden equation, which gives much numerical convenience when applying finite element methods or Ritz method. 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

An alternative to the classical Ritz method of approximate optimization is investigated. In the extended Ritz method, sets of admissible solutions are approximated by their intersections with linear combinations of n-tuples from a given set. This approximation scheme, called variable-basis approximation, includes functions computable by trigonometric polynomials with free frequencies, neural ne...

This paper is concerned with the reduction of the spectral problem for symmetric linear operator pencils to a spectral problem for the single operator. Also, a Rayleigh–Ritz–like bounds on eigenvalues of linear operator pencils are obtained.

In this paper, the Ritz-Galerkin method in Bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. The properties of the Bernstein  polynomials together with the Ritz-Galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the MHD Couette flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...
