On the Pseudospectra of Matrix Polynomials

From MaRDI portal





This paper demonstrates the development of a curve-tracing algorithm for graphing pseudospectra applied on the classical eigenvalue problem to matrix polynomials with nonsingular coefficients. This method is based on a prediction-correction continuation methodology for the computation of the boundary of the \(\varepsilon\)-pseudospetrum. The basic continuation method consists of an initial step to find the starting point on the curve followed by a sequence of predictor steps tangential to the boundary and corrector steps to go back to the boundary. It does not require an a priori knowledge of the size or shape of the pseudospectrum, since it determines the connected components of the pseudospectrum one after the other by using starting points close to eigenvalues. The paper also shows that new curve-tracing procedure competes well with the classical grid method and is computationally less demanding when seeking a small number of boundary curves. However, the curve-tracing method needs the repeated for each component. Numerical experiments show its effectiveness and robustness through various test problems such as a wing problem, a vibrating system, and a gyroscopic system.
