Solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems via contour integration and region partitioning

Abstract: In this work, we combine Beyn's method and the recently developed recursive integral method (RIM) to propose a contour integral-based, region partitioning eigensolver for nonlinear eigenvalue problems. A new partitioning criterion is employed to eliminate the need for a problem-dependent parameter, making our algorithm much more robust compared to the original RIM. Moreover, our algorithm can be directly applied to regions containing singularities or accumulation points, which are typically challenging for existing nonlinear eigensolvers to handle. Comprehensive numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is particularly well suited for dealing with regions including many eigenvalues.
