Dielectric channel waveguide problems arise in many integrated circuit applications. Finite difference discretization of the governing Helmholtz equation for the magnetic field H,

grad^2H_x+k^2n^2(x,y)H_x=beta^2H_x; grad^2H_y+k^2n^2(x,y)H_y=beta^2H_y

leads to the nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem of the form

where C₁₁ and C₂₂ are penta- or tri-diagonal matrices, C₁₂ and C₂₁ are (tri-)diagonal matrices, and B₁₁ and B₂₂ are nonsingular diagonal matrices. This generalized eigenvalue problem is reduced to a standard eigenvalue problem, A x=x lambda , where A=B^(-1) , since B is diagonal.

The computational task is to determine the right most eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors. In some cases, there are eigenvalues with a negative real part several orders of magnitude larger than the desired eigenvalues with positive real part. This problem presents a challenge to existing numerical methods.

Note that DWA512 and DWB512 are matrices of the same order which correspond to different parameter values.
