7.1 Introduction and Use Cases
This chapter is concerned with the adaptive solution of the generalized eigenvalue problems AΦ=BΦΛ, ABΦ=ΦΛ, and BAΦ=ΦΛ, where A and B are real, symmetric, nXn matrices and B is positive definite. In particular, we shall consider the problem AΦ=BΦΛ, although the remaining two problems are similar. The matrix pair (pencil) (A,B) is commonly referred to as a symmetric-definite pencil [Golub and VanLoan 83].
As seen before, the conventional (numerical analysis) ...
