In a large sparse matrix, how many eigenvalues/eigenvectors are “spurious”?
In a large (possibly above $5000\times 5000$) matrix, the problem of finding all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be solved using iterative methods (Arnoldi, Lanczos etc.). However, there seems to ...

Computing the largest eigenvalue of a very large sparse matrix
I am trying to compute the asymptotic growth-rate in a specific combinatorial problem depending on a parameter $w$, using the Transfer-Matrix method. This amounts to computing the largest eigenvalue ...
