The determination of the k bias constant for the RR model is based on eigenvalues. detected calculating.
For a given [[lambda].sub.TOL], the eigenvectors with their eigenvalues larger than [[lambda].sub.TOL] will be selected and denoted by [v.sub.E,l], l [member of] N(E).
Let V be a matrix of [L.sup.-1]'s sequence of eigenvectors ([V.sub.n]) and D a diagonal matrix having [L.sup.-1]'s sequence of eigenvalues ([[lambda].sub.n]), at the diagonal.
where U is the set of all distinct eigenvalues [[lambda].sub.k] and I([lambda]) = {j [member of] [N.sup.*] | [[lambda].sub.j] = [lambda]}.
In 2005, Wang and Shi [6] discussed the eigenvalues of a discrete periodic boundary value problem
[13] have compared the eigenvalues of Schrodinger and spinless Salpeter equations in the cases of Cornell potential and Wisconsin potential [18].
The case where [V.sub.n] is not periodic but decays fast enough to zero as n [right arrow] 0 was studied in [13], and a formula of the type known as Levinson's theorem was derived which counts the number of eigenvalues or bound states outside the continuous band [0,4].
The hyperbolic problem is very importance because all of its eigenvalues can be variational characterized.
and by [{[[lambda].sub.k]([alpha])}.sup.[infinity].sub.k=1] denote the sequence of eigenvalues of Dirichlet problem
The eigenfunctions of the fractional eigenvalue problem (3)-(4) corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are [alpha]-orthogonal with respect to the weight function w(x).
The eigenvalues can be calculated by solving (12) with parameters in Table 1.
we know [P.sup.T]P is a symmetric matrix; since P is invertible, we deduce that all the eigenvalues of the matrix [P.sup.T]P are positive real numbers and [P.sup.T]P is positive definite matrix.
