Localization theorems for nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Abstract

Let $T:\Omega \to {\mathbb{C}}^{n\times n}$ be a matrix-valued function that is analytic on some simply-connected domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$. A point $\lambda \in \Omega$ is an eigenvalue if the matrix $T(\lambda )$ is singular. In this paper, we describe new localization results for nonlinear eigenvalue problems that generalize Gershgorin's theorem, pseudospectral inclusion theorems, and the Bauer-Fike theorem. We use our results to analyze three nonlinear eigenvalue problems: an example from delay differential equations, a problem due to Hadeler, and a quantum resonance computation.
