Abstract
A numerical method recently proposed by the author is shown to be a very efficient and robust method for the solution of a class of discrete nonlinear eigenvalue problems. In particular it is applied to follow the relevant and the spurious solution curves. Numerical results show that also in the neighbourhood of turning or bifurcation points the work required is considerably less than for usual continuation procedures and that a larger steplength may be chosen. A corresponding multi-grid method is used for following spurious solution branches.
