AbstractIn this work the one-band effective Hamiltonian governing the electronic states of a quantum dot/ring in a homogenous magnetic field is used to derive a pair/quadruple of nonlinear eigenvalue problems corresponding to different spin orientations and in case of rotational symmetry additionally to quantum number -L•i. We show, that each of those pair/quadruple of nonlinear problems allows for the min-max characterization of its eigenvalues under certain conditions, which are satisfied for our examples and the common InAs/GaAs heterojunction. Exploiting the minmax property we devise efficient iterative projection methods simultaneously handling the pair/quadruple of nonlinear problems and thereby saving up to 40% of the computational time as compared to the nonlinear Arnoldi method applied to each of the problems separately.

In this paper, we consider four methods for determining certain eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of large-scale generalized eigenvalue problems which are located in a certain region. In these methods, a small pencil that contains only the desired eigenvalue is derived using moments that have obtained via numerical integration. Our purpose is to improve the numerical stability of the moment-based method and compare its stability with three other methods. Numerical examples show that the block version of the moment-based (SS) method with the Rayleigh–Ritz procedure has higher numerical stability than respect to other methods.

For nonlinear eigenvalue problems T(λ)x = 0 satisfying a minmax characterization of its eigenvalues iterative projection methods combined with safeguarded iteration are suitable for computing all eigenvalues in a given interval. Such methods hit their limitations if a large number of eigenvalues is required. In this paper we discuss restart procedures which are able to cope with this problem, and we evaluate them for a rational eigenvalue problem governing vibrations of a fluid‐solid structure.

Free vibrations of fluid–solid structures are governed by unsymmetric eigenvalue problems. A common approach which works fine for weakly coupled systems is to project the problem to a space spanned by modes of the uncoupled system. For strongly coupled systems, however, the approximation properties are not satisfactory. This paper reports on a framework for taking advantage of the structure of the unsymmetric eigenvalue problem allowing for a variational characterization of its eigenvalues and structure preserving iterative projection methods. We further cover an adjusted automated multilevel substructuring (AMLS) method for huge fluid–solid structures. The reliability and efficiency of the method are demonstrated by the free vibrations of a structure completely filled with water.

The Automated Multilevel Sub-structuring (AMLS) method is a powerful technique for computing a large number of eigenpairs with moderate accuracy for huge definite eigenvalue problems in structural analysis. It also turned out to be a useful tool to construct a suitable ansatz space for orthogonal projection methods for gyroscopic problems. This paper takes advantage of information gained from AMLS to improve the obtained eigenpairs via a small number of subspace iteration steps.
