Abstract
This chapter reviews the theory on the algebraic eigenvalue problem, and in particular,
the theory on the linear definite generalised eigenvalue problem (stiffness-mass), and
the quadratic eigenvalue problem (stiffness-damping-mass). Numerical methods
are presented for solving large scale problems, where the focus is on Krylov methods:
Lanczos and Arnoldi, and the spectral transformation. Important notions such
as inertia and sparse LDLT factorisation are also touched on. Examples are included
to illustrate the theory, as well as a bibliographical note with references to techniques
other than those discussed in this chapter.
