Schuhmann %J Advances in Radio Science : Kleinheubacher Berichte %D 2009 %I Copernicus Publications %X In the calculation of eigenfrequencies of 3-D metallic nanostructures occurs the challenge that the material parameters depend on the desired eigenfrequency. We propose a formulation where this leads to a polynomial eigenvalue problem which can be tackled by different solving strategies. A comparison between a Newton-type method and a Jacobi-Davidson algorithm is given. %U http://www.adv-radio-sci.net/7/23/2009/ars-7-23-2009.pdf
