Quotient-difference type generalizations of the power method and their analysis (Q751192)

The paper deals with the spectral analysis of vector sequences x(m) (m\(\geq 0)\) for which \(x(m)\sim \sum \nu (j)\lambda (j)^ m\) (0\(\leq j\leq \infty)\) for large m, where the \(\nu\) (j) are linearly independent vectors in a normed linear space \({\mathfrak B}\) and the \(\lambda\) (j) are scalars for which \(| \lambda (1)| \geq | \lambda (2)| \geq....\) Use is made of determinantal expressions G, F and T defined in terms of a double sequence \(\mu\) and a simple sequence b. With m,n\(\geq 0\), \(k\geq 1\), G(\(\mu|\) m,n;k) is the determinant formed from \(\mu (m+i-1,n+j-1)\) (1\(\leq i,j\leq k)\), F(b,\(\mu| m,n;k)\) is formed from the row \(b(n+j-1)\) \((1\leq j\leq k+1)\) followed by the first k rows of \(G(\mu | m,n;k+1)\), and T(b,\(\mu| m,n;k)\) is the quotient \(F(b,\mu | m,n;k)/G(\mu | m,n+1;k)\). Q(1),Q(2),... being linearly independent bounded linear functionals on \({\mathfrak B}\), \(\mu\) can be defined by setting \(\mu (m,n)=Q(m+1| \quad x(n)).\) It is found that quotients T of contiguous orders satisfy three term recurrence relationships containing a coefficient d(n,k) which, subject to suitable conditions, tends to \(\lambda\) (k) as n increases. Again, a single functional Q may be used to define \(\mu (m,n)=Q(x(m+n))\) and a similar result holds. Further processes of the same type are examined.
