  Divide-and-conquer eigenvalue algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divide-and-conquer eigenvalue algorithms are a class of eigenvalue algorithms for Hermitian or real symmetric matrices that have recently (circa 1990s) become competitive in terms of stability and efficiency with more traditional algorithms such as the QR algorithm.
An eigenvalue problem is divided into two problems of roughly half the size, each of these are solved recursively, and the eigenvalues of the original problem are computed from the results of these smaller problems.
As with most eigenvalue algorithms for Hermitian matrices, divide-and-conquer begins with a reduction to tridiagonal form.

 Eigenvalue algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therefore, general eigenvalue algorithms are expected to be iterative.
In addition, some of the better algorithms for the generalized eigenvalue problem are based on power iteration.
A popular method for finding eigenvalues is the QR algorithm, which is based on the QR decomposition.

Algorithm Description The general problem is that given a symmetric positive definite matrix A, find those values alpha and those vectors x such that: A * x = alpha * x (1) where the first multiplication is a matrix-vector multiplication and the second multiplication is a scalar-vector multiplication.
A'n such that A'n is close to diagonal and has the same eigenvalues as the original A. Ten years ago, I implemented this algorithm in Fortran for the Cray-1, this function is a C implementation of this same algorithm.
The algorithm assumes the relevant part of A is stored in the upper right triangle of A, the lower left and diagonal elements are not changed.

 Cycle Versus Cumulative Fission Matrix Algorithm
The dominant eigenvalue, or K, of the fission matrix A is evaluated numerically.
From this figure we notice that the batch eigenvalue of the cumulative fission matrix is far superior to the batch eigenvalue of the cycle fission matrix, as expected, whereas the batch averaged eigenvalue of the cycle fission matrix and the batch eigenvalue of the cumulative fission matrix show comparable accuracy.
The batch eigenvalue of the cumulative fission matrix algorithm and the batch averaged eigenvalue of the cycle fission matrix algorithm provide comparable results for tightly coupled problems, where there is enough neutron communication between different regions.

 Multiplication Algorithm
Hence, there are pos of eigenvalues equal to d and neg of eigenvalues equal to -d, for a total of m with a magnitude of d.
This multiplication algorithm is equivalent to the Horner's method for finding the roots of a polynomial.

This is the characteristic polynomial of A: the eigenvalues of a matrix are the zeros of its characteristic polynomial.
The algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue λ of A is the order of λ as a zero of the characteristic polynomial of A; in other words, if λ is one root of the polynomial, it is the number of factors (t − λ) in the characteristic polynomial after factorization.
In spectral graph theory, an eigenvalue of a graph is defined as an eigenvalue of the graph's adjacency matrix A, or (increasingly) of the graph's Laplacian matrix I-T^{-1/2}AT^{-1/2}, where T is a diagonal matrix holding the degree of each vertex, and in T^{-1/2}, 0 is substituted for 0^{-1/2}.

 Eigenvalue Problem
One of the oldest and most general approaches for the solution of the classical eigenvalue problem is the Jacobi method that was first presented in 1846.
The classical Jacobi eigenvalue algorithm is summarized within the computer subroutine given in Table D.1.
The Jacobi algorithm can be directly applied to all off-diagonal terms, in sequence, until all terms are reduced to a small number compared to the absolute value of all terms in the matrix.

 Eigenvalue Problems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Eigenvalue problems have also provided a fertile ground for the development of higher performance algorithms.
These algorithms generally all consist of three phases: (1) reduction of the original dense matrix to a condensed form by orthogonal transformations, (2) solution of condensed form, and (3) optional backtransformation of the solution of the condensed form to the solution of the original matrix.
The first step in solving many types of eigenvalue problems is to reduce the original matrix to a condensed form by orthogonal transformations.

 Introduction
In general, the larger or more difficult an eigenvalue problem, the more important it is to use an algorithm that exploits as much of its mathematical structure as possible (such as symmetry or sparsity).
An eigenvalue or eigenspace is called well-conditioned if its error bound is acceptably small for the user (this obviously depends on the user), and ill-conditioned if it is much larger.
Chapter 10 treats data structures, algorithms, and software for sparse matrices, especially sparse linear solvers, which often are the most time-consuming part of an eigenvalue algorithm.

Regularity results are proved for the eigenfunctions of such problems; error estimates are given for the approximation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions using the Rayleigh-Ritz method, and a detailed analysis is made of numerical results obtained by applying finite element methods to a model problem.
The new estimates obtained for the error between a multiple eigenvalue and the closest approximate eigenvalue depend on only one eigenvector from the space of corresponding eigenvectors, namely the one best approximated by the space employed in the Galerkin method.
The approximation properties of the approximate eigenvalue which is farthest from a given multiple eigenvalue are also studied.

We divide the execution time for the eigenvalue algorithm, including time spent building the adaptive grid hierarchy, into numerical computation, time lost to load imbalance, communication among grids at the same level of the hierarchy, communication between levels, error estimation, load balancing, and grid generation.

In [3] is presented another version of spectral clustering algorithm, and a comparative analysis of various clustering algorithms based on spectral methods is in [4].
The implemented algorithm is formulated as graph partition problem where the weight of each edge is the similarity between points that correspond to vertex connected by the edge.
The goal of the algorithm is find the minimum weight cuts in the graph, but this problem can be addressed by the means of linear algebra, in particular by the eigenvalue decomposition techniques, from which the term "spectral" derives.

 ASAP '99 Principal-Components, Covariance Matrix Tapers... - Joseph R. Guerci and Jameson S. Bergin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Unfortunately this advantage is essentially lost in those situations were eigenvalue spreading occurs-a problem that appears evident in many real-world data sets and is justifiable based on physical modeling of the environments.
In this paper, a new approach to adaptive interference mitigation is presented based on the recognition that many eigenvalue spreading mechanisms (e.g., internal clutter motion, clutter scintillation, and jammer/clutter diffuse multipath) are effectively modeled as a covariance matrix tapering (CMT) of the interference covariance matrix associated with the "unspread" dominant eigenvalues.
For modest spreading environments, restoration is readily achieved by first estimating the covariance matrix associated with the K dominant eigenvectors, then applying a CMT to account for the remaining eigenvalues.

In this department, a large effort was done in understanding and developing robust numerical methods for the calculation of the rightmost eigenvalue of large sparse matrices.
Research was concentrated on the issue of implicitly restarting iterative eigenvalue algorithm, especially the Rational Krylov Sequence method and the unsymmetric Lanczos algorithm.
Analogously, the possibility of implicitly restarting and implicitly filtering inexact eigenvalue solvers is studied.

 G03 Manual: OPT
For the Hartree-Fock, CIS, MP2, MP3, MP4(SDQ), CID, CISD, CCD, CCSD, QCISD, CASSCF, and all DFT and semi-empirical methods, the default algorithm for both minimizations (optimizations to a local minimum) and optimizations to transition states and higher-order saddle points is the Berny algorithm using redundant internal coordinates [149,15] (specified by the Redundant option).
This was sometimes superior to the Berny method in Gaussian 88, but since the RFO step [530] has now been incorporated into the Berny algorithm, EF is seldom preferable unless its ability to follow a particular mode is needed, or gradients are not available (in which case Berny can't be used anyway).
The Berny geometry optimization algorithm in Gaussian is based on an earlier program written by H. Schlegel which implemented his published algorithm [136].
