In this paper, we study the Rayleigh-Ritz approximation for the eigenproblem of periodic matrix pairs. We show the convergence of the Ritz value and periodic Ritz vectors. Furthermore, we prove the convergence of refined periodic Ritz vectors and propose an efficient algorithm for computing the refined periodic Ritz vectors. The numerical result shows that the refinement procedure produces an e...

The Rational Krylov algorithm computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a regular not necessarily symmetric matrix pencil. It is a generalization of the shifted and inverted Arnoldi algorithm, where several factorizations with di erent shifts are used in one run. It computes an orthogonal basis and a small Hessenberg pencil. The eigensolution of the Hessenberg pencil approximates the solution of...

In this paper we explore two sets of polynomials, the orthogonal polynomi-als and the residual polynomials, associated with a preconditioned conjugate gradient iteration for the solution of the linear system Ax = b. In the context of preconditioning by the matrix C, we show that the roots of the orthogonal polynomials, also known as generalized Ritz values, are the eigenvalues of an orthogonal ...

It is a well-known fact that while reducing a symmetric matrix into a similar tridiagonal one, the already tridiagonal matrix in the partially reduced matrix has as eigenvalues the Lanczos-Ritz values (see e.g. [Golub G. and Van Loan C.] ). This behavior is also shared by the reduction algorithm which transforms symmetric matrices via orthogonal similarity transformations to semiseparable form ...

We investigate in this work the validity of linear stochastic models for nonlinear dynamical systems. We exploit as our basic tool a previously proposed Rayleigh-Ritz approximation for the effective action of nonlinear dynamical systems started from random initial conditions. The present paper discusses only the case where the PDF-Ansatz employed in the variational calculation is “Markovian”, i...

In recent years, in various sectors of our society, there have been nationalist stirrings which were crystallized and articulated by the late Claro M. Recto, There were jealous demands for the recognition of Philippine sovereignty on the Bases question. There were appeals for the correction of the iniquitous economic relations between the Philippines and the United States. For a time, Filipino ...

in this study, the stability problem of a circular orthotropic cylindrical shell under the effect of anaxial compression varying with a power function of time is considered. at first, the modified donnell typedynamic stability and compatibility equations are obtained using love’s shell theory. applying the galerkinmethod and rayleigh-ritz variational techniques to these equations and taking the...

This paper describes an experimental study on the use of Ritz vectors for damage detection of a grid-type bridge model. A new procedure to extract Ritz vectors from experimental modal analysis is proposed and demonstrated using the test structure. Using appropriate load patterns, Ritz vectors can be made more sensitive to damage than modal vectors. The results indicate that the use of load-depe...
