Eigenvector localization refers to the situation when most of the components of an eigenvector are zero or near-zero. This phenomenon has been observed on eigenvectors associated with extremal eigenvalues, and in many of those cases it can…

We introduce an approach for exploring eigenvector localization phenomena for a class of (unbounded) selfadjoint operators. More specifically, given a target region and a tolerance, the algorithm identifies candidate eigenpairs for which…

Let $T : \Omega \rightarrow \bbC^{n \times n}$ be a matrix-valued function that is analytic on some simply-connected domain $\Omega \subset \bbC$. A point $\lambda \in \Omega$ is an eigenvalue if the matrix $T(\lambda)$ is singular. In this…
