Hi

    Once I had this problem in another environment and I used Newton 
Raphson to identify the eigenvalues. The important thing to avoid 
switchover was to correctly give the seed. I have used as seed the 
previous calculated point and that worked.

    For instance, when dealing with non-transposed transmission line, 
the former seed should be the eigenvector for ideally transposed line. 
The following seeds should be calculated as I described above.

    Regards,

    <pre wrap="">Dear MathGroup

I am posting this message hoping that someone may have a better idea
than me and point me in some direction to the solution. I have to fit a
complex based function using a state-space approach and thus smooth
eigenvectors and eigenfunctions are needed. Using Eigensystem I
experienced some eigenvector/eigenvalues switchovers (from one
frequency step to the next).
I was wondering whether some sort of MapIndexed or some Sort can do the
trick to switch the eigenvector back. I know that if I can track the
direction of the eigenvalue.eigenvector dot product I might probably
identify the switchover.

Hi Antonio,

without having looked into all the details of your code (it's not complete 
anyway) I believe that your problem is one of identifying corresponding 
eigenvectors of two closely related eigenvalue problems: Let A(p) denote a 
square matrix whose entries are functions of a parameter p, and let deltap 
denote a (small) perturbation of p. Let the two eigenvalue problems be 
formulated as

(1)     (A(p) - lambda.I) x = 0

and

(2)     (A(p+deltap) - lambda.I) x = 0

Now assume that (lambda1_1, x1_1) is an eigenvalue/eigenvector pair of (1) 
and that you are interested in finding the corresponding pair (lambda2_1, 
x2_1) in the set of solutions {(lambda2_k, x2_k), k=1..n} of the perturbed 
equation (2). This can be achieved with the help of the modal assurance 
criterion (MAC), defined as

  MAC(x1, x2) = abs(x1'.x2)^2/((x1'.x1)*(x2'.x2))

where x' denotes the complex conjugate transpose of x.

The MAC ranges from 0 to 1. The eigenpair of (2) corresponding to 
(lambda1_1, x1_1) is the one for which

  MAC(x1_1, x2_k)

is closest to 1.

HTH,

Eckhard
