| Abstract: | A kind of generalized inverse eigenvalue problem is proposed which includes the additive, multiplicative and classical inverse eigenvalue problems as special cases. Newton's method is applied, and a local convergence analysis is given for both the distinct and the multiple eigenvalue cases. When the multiple eigenvalues are present we show how to state the problem so that it is not over-determined, and discuss a Newton-method for the modified problem. We also prove that the modified method retains quadratic convergence, and present some numerical experiments to illustrate our results. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
