The document discusses the generalized eigenvalue problem (GEVP) of solving Ax=λBx for eigenvalues λ and eigenvectors x, where A and B are matrices. It provides applications of the GEVP in mechanical vibration, electrical oscillation, and quadratic eigenvalue problems. Key definitions are presented, including singular vs. regular matrix pairs and symmetric vs. non-symmetric GEVPs. Solution methods include using the generalized Schur factorization theorem to transform matrix pairs into upper triangular form.
