ON THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN SPECTRA OF THE OPERATOR PENCIL A-Λ B AND OF THE OPERATOR B^-1A

Ivica Nakić

Abstract.   This paper is concerned with the reduction of the spectral problem for symmetric linear operator pencils to a spectral problem for the single operator. Also, a Rayleigh-Ritz-like bounds on eigenvalues of linear operator pencils are obtained.

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.   47A56, 47A10.
