BCR Algorithm for Solving Quadratic Inverse Eigenvalue Problems for Partially Bisymmetric Matrices

Abstract

The inverse eigenvalue problem appears repeatedly in a variety of applications. The aim of this paper is to study a quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem of the form AXΛ2 + BXΛ + CX = 0 where A, B and C should be partially bisymmetric under a prescribed submatrix constraint. We derive an efficient matrix method based on the Hestenes‐Stiefel (HS) version of biconjugate residual (BCR) algorithm for solving this constrained quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem. The theoretical results demonstrate that the matrix method solves the constrained quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem within a finite number of iterations in the absence of round‐off errors. Finally we validate the accuracy and efficiency of the matrix method through the numerical results.
