Abstract

The vibration of fast trains is governed by a quadratic palindromic eigenvalue problem (@l^2A"1^T+@lA"0+A"1)x=0, where A"0,A"1@?C^n^x^n and A"0^T=A"0. Accurate and efficient solution can only be obtained using algorithms which preserve the structure of the eigenvalue problem. This paper reports on the successful application of the structure-preserving doubling algorithms.
