Research Interests
My main interest are Matrix Analysis and Numerical Linear Algebra and its applications. These fields are a fundamental part of Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computing, and Computational Mathematics. More specifically my interests include (i) polynomial eigenvalue problems, matrix polynomials, and their linearizations; (ii) conditioning and backward error analyses; (iii) nonlinear eigenvalue problems.
Selected Publications
My main research interest is Numerical Linear Algebra and, more specifically solving . A nonlinear eigenvalue problem consits in finding scalars λ and nonzero vectors x such that
A(λ)x=0
Here A(λ) is an n×n matrix whose entries depend analytically on λ. The scalar λ is called an eigenvalue of A, and x is the corresponding eigenvector. This type of problems arise in a wide variety of science and engineering applications, such as the dynamic analysis of mechanical systems, the linear stability of flows in fluid mechanics, the stability analysis of time-delay systems, and electronic band structure calculations for photonic crystals, etc.
In , we have developed a new nonlinear eigenvalue solver that uses the recent to approximate the nonlinear eigenvalue problem by a rational eigenvalue problem. The resulting rational eigenvalue problem is solved by using and , allowing to efficiently solve large scale nonlinear eigenvalue problems. Our algorithm is competitive with , and obtains the same accuracy but with less effort for the user.
