A constrained eigenvalue problem (Q1117002): Difference between revisions

For the problem of finding \(Min(x^ TAx)\) for a symmetric matrix A subject to \(x^ Tx=1\) and \(N^ Tx=t\) theoretical and numerical methods are described. First the linear constraint is removed and then Lagrange multipliers are employed reducing the problem to solve either a secular equation or a quadratic eigenvalue problem.
