Polynomial (chaos) approximation of maximum eigenvalue functions: Efficiency and limitations

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

© 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. This paper is concerned with polynomial approximations of the spectral abscissa function (defined by the supremum of the real parts of the eigenvalues) of a parameterized eigenvalue problem, which are closely related to polynomial chaos approximations if the parameters correspond to realizations of random variables. Unlike previous work, we highlight the major role of this function smoothness properties. Even if the eigenvalue problem matrices are analytic functions of the parameters, the spectral abscissa function may not be differentiable, and even non-Lipschitz continuous, due to multiple rightmost eigenvalues counted with multiplicity. This analysis demonstrates smoothness properties not only heavily affect the approximation errors of the Galerkin and collocation based polynomial approximations, but also the numerical errors in the evaluation of coefficients in the Galerkin approach with integration methods. A documentation of the experiments, conducted on the benchmark problems through the software Chebfun, is publicly available.
