Abstract

In this paper, we present several verifiable conditions for eigenvalue intervals of real symmetric interval matrices overlapping or not overlapping. To above cases, two new methods with algorithms for computing eigenvalue bounds of real symmetric matrices are developed. We can estimate eigenvalue bounds moving away the assumption that two intervals containing two eigenvalues of real symmetric interval matrices are not overlapping. These methods can analyse stability of systems in control fields extensively. Numerical examples illustrating the applicability and effectiveness of the new methods are also provided.
