| Abstract: | Based on various matrix decompositions, we compare different techniques
for solving the inverse quadratic eigenvalue problem, where $n×n$ real symmetric matrices $M$, $C$ and $K$ are constructed so that the quadratic pencil $Q(λ) = λ^{2}M+λC+K$ yields good approximations for the given $k$ eigenpairs. We discuss the case where $M$ is
positive definite for $1≤ k≤n$, and a general solution to this problem for $n+1≤k≤2n$.
The efficiency of our methods is illustrated by some numerical experiments. |
