Popis: Block matrices with a special structure arise from mixed finite element discretizations of incompressible flow problems. This paper is concerned with an analysis of the eigenvalue problem for such matrices and the derivation of two shifted eigenvalue problems that are more suited to numerical solution by iterative algorithms like simultaneous iteration and Arnoldi's method. The application of the shifted eigenvalue problems to the determination of the eigenvalue of smallest real part is discussed and a numerical example arising from a stability analysis of double-diffusive convection is described.
