The research landscape in generalized eigenvalue problems (GEPs) is witnessing significant advancements, particularly in the integration of generative models and robust computational methods. Innovations are being made in both theoretical guarantees and practical algorithms, with a focus on enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of solutions. Notably, the field is progressing towards tighter sampling bounds for eigenvalue approximation, which is crucial for large-scale data processing applications. Additionally, spectral transformation methods are being refined for dense symmetric semidefinite problems, offering improved error bounds and computational stability. These developments collectively push the boundaries of what is computationally feasible, enabling more robust and scalable solutions in various scientific and engineering domains.
