Abstract: Computing more than one eigenvalue for (large sparse) one-parameter polynomial and general nonlinear eigenproblems, as well as for multiparameter linear and nonlinear eigenproblems, is a much harder task than for standard eigenvalue problems. We present simple but efficient selection methods based on divided differences to do this. In contrast to locking techniques, it is not necessary to keep converged eigenvectors in the search space, so that the entire search space may be devoted to new information. The techniques are applicable to many types of matrix eigenvalue problems; standard deflation is possible only for linear one-parameter problems. The methods are easy to understand and implement. Although divided differences are well-known in the context of nonlinear eigenproblems, the proposed selection techniques are new for one-parameter problems. For multiparameter problems, we improve on and generalize our previous work. We also show how to use divided differences in the framework of homogeneous coordinates, which may be appropriate for generalized eigenvalue problems with infinite eigenvalues. While the approaches are valuable alternatives for one-parameter nonlinear eigenproblems, they seem the only option for multiparameter problems.


Several selection criteria for computing eigenvalues for nonlinear one-parameter and linear and nonlinear multi-parameter eigenvalue problems are given. Remarkably, in the case of nonlinear problems, the methods work directly on the original problem and linearizations are not needed. The approach can be successfully applied to general nonlinear eigenproblems.
