“…Inverse eigenvalue problems with Jacobi, Toeplitz, and nonnegative matrices occur in a large number of applications ranging from applied mechanics and physics to numerical analysis, for more details see . The eigenvalues λ and the corresponding eigenvectors x of the quadratic eigenvalue problem Q ( λ ) x : = ( λ 2 A + λ B + C ) x = 0 can interpret the dynamical behavior of the second order differential system with mass, damping and stiffness matrices which arises in the acoustic simulation of poro‐elastic materials, the elastic deformation of anisotropic materials, and finite element discretization in structural analysis . The quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem is to construct the matrices A , B , and C such that the quadratic eigenvalue problem holds, that is, for given and , we find A , B , C ∈ R n × n such that A X Λ 2 + B X Λ + C X = 0.…”
