In this seminar I talk about two types of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. The first one is quadratic eigenvalue problem. We can transform Rayleigh Quotient optimization into an equivalent quadratic eigenvalue problem and solve it by Lanczos method. The second one is a nonlinear eigenvalue problem, which has a few nonlinear terms with low rank matrices. We first approximate the nonlinear functions by rational functions and then linearize the rational eigenvalue problem. Numerical examples about image cut and SLAC problems are provided.
