A note on the Ritz method with an application to overtone stellar pulsation theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Extract
The Ritz method reduces eigenvalue problems involving linear operators on infinite dimensional spaces to finite matrix eigenvalue problems. This paper shows that for a certain class of linear operators it is possible to choose the coordinate functions so that numerical solution of the matrix equations is considerably simplified, especially when the matrices are large. The method is applied to the problem of overtone pulsations of stars.
