Computation of the smallest positive eigenvalue of a quadratic \(\lambda\)- matrix (Q1122308): Difference between revisions

The computation of the smallest positive eigenvalue \(\mu^*\) of a quadratic \(\lambda\)-matrix is used to determine the stability of structure. In addition to existence results we derive two efficient and reliable methods to calculate \(\mu^*\). Both methods are based on shift techniques which are discussed thouroughly which respect to convergence.
