Computing eigenvalues of semi-infinite quasi-Toeplitz matrices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A quasi-Toeplitz (QT) matrix is a semi-infinite matrix of the form A=T(a)+E where T(a) is the Toeplitz matrix with entries (T(a))i,j=aj−i, for aj−iinmathbbC, i,jge1, while E is a matrix representing a compact operator in ell2. The matrix A is finitely representable if ak=0 for k<−m and for k>n, given m,n>0, and if E has a finite number of nonzero entries. The problem of numerically computing eigenpairs of a finitely representable QT matrix is investigated, i.e., pairs such that , with lambdainmathbbC, , , and sumj=1infty|vj|2<infty. It is shown that the problem is reduced to a finite nonlinear eigenvalue problem of the kind , where W is a constant matrix and U depends on lambda and can be given in terms of either a Vandermonde matrix or a companion matrix. Algorithms relying on Newton's method applied to the equation detWU(lambda)=0 are analyzed. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of this approach. The algorithms have been included in the CQT-Toolbox [Numer. Algorithms 81 (2019), no. 2, 741--769].
