This approach first converts the PDIEP into an ordinary inverse problem that is formulated as a set of simultaneous linear equations, then employs the singular value decomposition method to solve these simultaneous linear equations. The detailed derivation and numerical examples to implement the newly developed approach to symmetric Toeplitz and quadratic pencil PDIEPs are also presented. rv: Jinhai Chen (Hongkong)
