Abstract

A modification of the Danilewski method is presented, permitting the solution of the eigenvalue problem for a constant sparse matrix of large order to be reduced to the solution of the same problem for a polynomial matrix of lower order. Certain solution algorithms are proposed for a partial eigenvalue problem for the polynomial matrix. Questions of the realization of the algorithms on a model PRORAB computer are examined.
