Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the computation of the firstβorder derivatives of complex eigenvectors for general nonβdefective eigensystems. A new normalization condition is proposed, with which we can compute unique firstβorder derivatives of arbitrary differentiable eigenvectors of systems with distinct and repeated eigenvalues. We also present an efficient algorithm to compute the particular solutions to the governing equations of the firstβorder derivatives of eigenvectors. Finally, numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. Copyright Β© 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A new simultaneous iteration method is presented for computing mixed second-order partial derivatives of several eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of a matrix which depends smoothly on some realvalued design parameters. Numerical results illustrate the viability of the method, and show
