this paper may be regarded as a new numerical method for the analysis of triangular thin plates using the natural area coordinates. previous studies on the solution of triangular plates with different boundary conditions are mostly based on the rayleigh-ritz principle which is performed in the cartesian coordinates. consequently, manipulation of the geometry and numerical calculation of the int...

The aim of this paper is to provide a convergence analysis for a preconditioned subspace iteration, which is designated to determine a modest number of the smallest eigenvalues and its corresponding invariant subspace of eigenvectors of a large, symmetric positive definite matrix. The algorithm is built upon a subspace implementation of preconditioned inverse iteration, i.e., the well-known inv...

Gradient iterations for the Rayleigh quotient are elemental methods for computing the smallest eigenvalues of a pair of symmetric and positive definite matrices. A considerable convergence acceleration can be achieved by preconditioning and by computing Rayleigh-Ritz approximations from subspaces of increasing dimensions. An example of the resulting Krylov subspace eigensolvers is the generaliz...

This paper concerns the Rayleigh–Ritz method for computing an approximation to an eigenspace X of a general matrix A from a subspace W that contains an approximation to X . The method produces a pair (N, X̃) that purports to approximate a pair (L,X), where X is a basis for X and AX = XL. In this paper we consider the convergence of (N, X̃) as the sine of the angle between X andW approaches zero. ...

The finite temperature effective potential of the Abelian Higgs Model is studied using the self-consistent composite operator method, which can be used to sum up the contributions of daisy and superdaisy diagrams. The effect of the momentum dependence of the effective masses is estimated by using a Rayleigh-Ritz variational approximation.

in this study, the stability problem of a circular orthotropic cylindrical shell under the effect of anaxial compression varying with a power function of time is considered. at first, the modified donnell typedynamic stability and compatibility equations are obtained using love’s shell theory. applying the galerkinmethod and rayleigh-ritz variational techniques to these equations and taking the...

We derive error bounds for the Rayleigh-Ritz method for the approximation to extremal eigenpairs of a symmetric matrix. The bounds are expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of the matrix and the angle between the subspace and the eigenvector. We also present a sharp bound.

Microvibrations at frequencies between 1 and 1000 Hz generated by on-board equipment can propagate through a satellite's structure and hence signiicantly reduce the performance of sensitive payloads. This paper describes a Lagrange-Rayleigh-Ritz method for developing models suitable for the design of active control schemes. Here Loop Transfer Recovery based controller design methods are employe...
