9781332095698: An Accelerated Bisection Method for the Calculation of Eigenvalues of a Symmetric Tridiagonal Matrix (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book presents a novel method for calculating eigenvalues of symmetric tridiagonal matrices. Eigenvalues are crucial in various scientific fields, including quantum mechanics and vibration analysis. The author, a renowned mathematician, combines Givens' Sturm bisection with interpolation to accelerate convergence, especially in cases requiring high precision. Unlike existing techniques, this method guarantees convergence and efficiently handles repeated or clustered eigenvalues, a common challenge in eigenvalue calculations. The book includes detailed theoretical background and practical implementation, making it valuable for researchers, engineers, and students seeking an efficient and accurate approach to eigenvalue determination.
