Ka. Cliffe et al., EIGENVALUES OF BLOCK MATRICES ARISING FROM PROBLEMS IN FLUID-MECHANICS, SIAM journal on matrix analysis and applications, 15(4), 1994, pp. 1310-1318
Block matrices with a special structure arise from mixed finite elemen
t discretizations of incompressible flow problems. This paper is conce
rned with an analysis of the eigenvalue problem for such matrices and
the derivation of two shifted eigenvalue problems that are more suited
to numerical solution by iterative algorithms like simultaneous itera
tion and Arnoldi's method. The application of the shifted eigenvalue p
roblems to the determination of the eigenvalue of smallest real part i
s discussed and a numerical example arising from a stability analysis
of double-diffusive convection is described.
