Backward error, condition numbers, and pseudospectra for the multiparameter eigenvalue problem. (Q1414695): Difference between revisions

The authors define and evaluate the normwise backward error and condition numbers for the multiparameter eigenvalue problem (MEP) \((V_{i0}-\sum _{j=1}^k \lambda _j V_{ij})x_i =0 \neq x_i , \quad i=1,\dots ,k,\) \noindent where the \(V_{ij}\) are \(n_i \times n_i\) complex matrices. They define and characterize the pseudospectrum for the MEP and show that the distance from a right definite MEP to the closest non right definite MEP is related to the smallest unbounded pseudospectrum.
