    The authors study a generalized eigenvalue problem of very special structure: \(A x + F(x) = l x\). This problem arises in the discretization of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation from physics. The matrix \(A\) is a Stieltjes matrix. The eigenvalue problem is reformulated as a fixed point problem and consequently Newton iteration may be applied. If the inital vector of the iteration is chosen from given data from the eigenvector corresponding to the positive eigenvalue of the matrix \(A\) the Newton iteration converges.
