Abstract

LetT(λ) be a bounded linear operator in a Banach spaceX for eachλ in the scalar fieldS. The characteristic value-vector problemT(λ)x = 0 with a normalization conditionφ x = 1, whereφ ε X *, is formulated as a nonlinear problem inX xS:P(y) ≡ (T(λ)x, φ x - 1) = 0,y= (X, A). Newton's method and the Kantorovič theorem are applied. For this purpose, representations and criteria for existence ofP′(y)−1 are obtained. The continuous dependence onT of characteristic values and vectors is investigated. A numerical example withT(λ) =A +λB +λ 2 C is presented.
