Computing interior eigenvalues of nonsymmetric matrices: application to three-dimensional metamaterial composites.
We propose a numerical method to calculate interior eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors for nonsymmetric matrices. Based on the subspace projection technique onto expanded Ritz subspace, it becomes possible to obtain eigenvalues and eigenvectors with sufficiently high precision. This method overcomes the difficulties of the traditional nonsymmetric Lanczos algorithm, and improves the accuracy of the obtained interior eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Using this algorithm, we investigate three-dimensional metamaterial composites consisting of positive and negative refractive index materials, and it is demonstrated that the finite-difference frequency-domain algorithm is applicable to analyze these metamaterial composites.
