Locating eigenvalues of quadratic matrix polynomials

From MaRDI portal





In this very nice paper, the authors present some new methods to localize eigenvalues of quadratic matrix polynomials. The quadratic eigenvalue problem is one of the most important eigenvalue problems in applications (e.g., in mechanics). Locating the eigenvalues with respect to the imaginary axis, the unit circle or the real line can give useful information concerning the stability of the system. The main idea of the paper is to apply some block versions of the Gershgorin circle theorem to some classic linearization of the quadratic matrix polynomial. With this method, the authors obtain some simple sufficient conditions of the coefficient matrices of the polynomial so that its eigenvalues are located in some interesting areas of the complex plane. This allows the authors also to derive new upper and lower bounds on the eigenvalues of quadratic matrix polynomials.
