Abstract

A new method is proposed to compute the eigenvector derivative of a quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP) analytically dependent on a parameter. It avoids the linearization of the QEP. The proposed method can be seen as an improved incomplete modal method. Only a few eigenvectors of the QEP are required. The contributions of other eigenvectors to the desired eigenvector derivative are obtained by an iterative scheme. From this point of view, our method also can be seen as an iterative method. The convergence properties of the proposed method are analyzed. The techniques to accelerate the proposed method are provided. A strategy is developed for simultaneously computing several eigenvector derivatives by the proposed method. Finally some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the efficiency of our method.
