Summary

Let $T : \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}$ be a matrix-valued function that is analytic on some simply-connected domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$. We call a point $\lambda \in \Omega$ an eigenvalue if the matrix $T(\lambda)$ is singular. Nonlinear eigenvalue problems arise in many applications, often from applying transform methods to analyze differential and difference equations. We describe new localization results for nonlinear eigenvalues that generalize Gershgorin’s theorem, pseudospectral inclusion theorems, the Bauer-Fike theorem, and others.

Abstract:

Let $T : \Omega \rightarrow {\Bbb C}^{n\times n}$ be a matrix-valued function that is analytic on some simply-connected domain $\Omega \subset {\Bbb C}$. A point $\lambda \in \Omega$ is an eigenvalue if the matrix $T(\lambda)$ is singular. In this paper, we describe new localization results for nonlinear eigenvalue problems that generalize Gershgorin’s theorem, pseudospectral inclusion theorems, and the Bauer-Fike theorem. We use our results to analyze three nonlinear eigenvalue problems: an example from delay differential equations, a problem due to Hadeler, and a quantum resonance computation.
