Solution of the matrix eigenvalue problem for each of the five infinite
matrices that correspond to the linear algebraic equations (28.4.5)–(28.4.8)
and (28.14.4). See
Zhang and Jin (1996, pp. 479–482) and §3.2(iv).
Asymptotic approximations by zeros of orthogonal polynomials of increasing degree.
See Volkmer (2008). This method also applies to eigenvalues of the
Whittaker–Hill equation (§28.31(i)) and eigenvalues of Lamé
functions (§29.3(i)).

►Also, once the eigenvalues
, , and have been computed the following methods are applicable:
