An Inverse Eigenvalue Problem of Hermite-Hamilton Matrices in Structural Dynamic Model Updating

Abstract

We first consider the following inverse eigenvalue problem: given X∈Cn×m and a diagonal matrix Λ∈Cm×m, find n×n Hermite-Hamilton matrices K and M such that KX=MXΛ. We then consider an optimal approximation problem: given n×n Hermitian matrices Ka and Ma, find a solution (K,M) of the above inverse problem such that ∥K-Ka∥2+∥M-Ma∥2=min⁡. By using the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse and the singular value decompositions, the solvability conditions and the representations of the general solution for the first problem are derived. The expression of the solution to the second problem is presented
