Efficient computation of characteristic roots of delay differential equations using LMS methods KU Leuven
We aim at the efficient computation of the rightmost, stability-determining characteristic roots of a system of delay differential equations. The approach we use is based on the discretization of the time integration operator by a linear multistep (LMS) method. The size of the resulting algebraic eigenvalue problem is inversely proportional to the steplength. We summarize theoretical results on the location and numerical preservation of roots. ...
