Group velocity as an eigensensitivity problem
Group velocity as an eigensensitivity problem
We present the problem of computing the dispersion relation in the generic form of
a parameter dependent generalized eigenvalue problem–the wavenumber plays the role of this
parameter. By carrying out first order perturbation analysis in the spirit of Rayleigh, we obtain
an exact expression for group velocity from this eigen-sensitivity. The connection of the eigensensitivity
relationship with the stationarity of the Rayleigh’s quotient is explored. Illustrative
examples to demonstrate the idea are presented for a specific waveguide problem involving two
elastically coupled beams. Two numerical examples are given.

Abstract
We present the problem of computing the dispersion relation in the generic form of
a parameter dependent generalized eigenvalue problem–the wavenumber plays the role of this
parameter. By carrying out first order perturbation analysis in the spirit of Rayleigh, we obtain
an exact expression for group velocity from this eigen-sensitivity. The connection of the eigensensitivity
relationship with the stationarity of the Rayleigh’s quotient is explored. Illustrative
examples to demonstrate the idea are presented for a specific waveguide problem involving two
elastically coupled beams. Two numerical examples are given.
