AbstractThe homotopy method is used to find all eigenpairs of a generalised symmetric eigenvalue problem Ax = λBx with positive definite B. The determination of n eigenpairs (x, λ) is reduced to curve tracing of n disjoint smooth curves in Rn × R × [0, 1]. The method might be attractive if A and B are sparse symmetric. In this paper it is shown that the method will work for almost all symmetric tridiagonal matrices A and B.

The eigenvalue problem for a family of tridiagonal matrices arising in the scattering-theory analysis of the conductance in mesoscopic systems, and its fluctuations, is studied. The exactly solvable special cases are identified. For the general problem, qualitative characteristics of the spectrum are established, and approximate solutions for the eigenvalues are constructed. These comprise ones that are valid in the limit of large but finite matrix dimension, and those derived from a perturbation expansion around each of the exactly solvable cases.
