Abstract
A hitherto difficult and unsolved issue in plasma physics is how to give a general numerical solver for complicated plasma dispersion relation, although we have long known the general analytical forms. We transform the task to a full-matrix eigenvalue problem, which allows to numerically calculate all the dispersion relation solutions exactly free from convergence problem and give polarizations naturally for arbitrarily complicated multi-scale fluid plasma with arbitrary number of components. Attempt to kinetic plasma via -point Pad\'e approximation of plasma dispersion function also shows good results.
