Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Vol. 45, No. 4, October 1950 Research Paper 2133 An Iteration Method for the Solution of the Eigenvalue Problem of Linear Differential an d Integral Operators 1 By Cornelius Lanczos The present investigation designs a systematic method for finding the latent roots and the principal axes of a matrix , without reducing th e order of th e matrix . I t is characterized by a wide field of applicability and great accuracy, since th e accumulation of rounding errors is avoided, through th e process of minimized iterations . Moreover, th e method leads to a well convergent successive approximation procedure by which the solution of integral equations of th e Fredholm typ e and th e solution of th e eigenvalue problem of linear differ- ential and integral operator s may be accomplished . I. Introduction The present investigation, although starting out along classical lines, proceeds nevertheless in The eigenvalue problem of linear operators is of a different direction. The advantages of the central importance for all vibration problems of method here developed 4 can be summarized as physics
