- This study investigates the solution of a boundary value problem using two numerical methods: the Rayleigh-Ritz method and the finite element method (FEM). The aim is to compare the performance of ...

This paper considers the sparse generalized eigenvalue problem (SGEP), which aims to find the leading eigenvector with at most $k$ nonzero entries. SGEP naturally ...

Rayleigh-Ritz methods for the approximation of the natural modes for a class of vibration problems involving flexible beams with tip bodies using subspaces of piecewise polynomial spline functions are ...

We overview the main equations of the Rayleigh–Ritz variational method and discuss their connection with the problem of simultaneous diagonalization of two Hermitian matrices.

Abstract: SummaryAnalyzing Rayleigh waves in structures of a piezoelectric solid coated with a patterned metal film layer is of great importance in developing acoustic wave resonators. The ...
