Several eigenvalue problems for systems of ordinary differential equations are considered. They are resolved computationally using the quasilinearization technique, a quadratically convergent successive approximation scheme. The essential idea presented is to consider an eigenvalue problem to be a system identification problem. Also shown is the use of invariant imbedding techniques to obtain good initial estimates for eigenvalues in some neutron multiplication processes. (Author).

Mathematics in Science and Engineering, Volume 41: Quasilinearization and Invariant Imbedding presents a study on the use of two concepts for obtaining numerical solutions of boundary-value problems—quasilinearization and invariant imbedding. This book emphasizes that the invariant imbedding approach reformulates the original boundary-value problem into an initial value problem by introducing new variables or parameters, while the quasilinearization technique represents an iterative approach combined with linear approximations. This volume focuses on analytical aspects that are concerned with actual convergence rates and computational requirements, considering various efficient algorithms that are suited for various types of boundary-value problems. This publication is a good reference for chemical and control engineers and scientists interested in obtaining numerical solutions of boundary-value problems in their particular fields.
