Meaning
The Dirichlet passage pencil is the finite positive matrix problem that measures the least ordinary-gluing energy carried by a selected charged passage after every allowed interior relaxation and every common Dirichlet zero mode have been removed.
Write the collar stiffness matrix in interior and boundary variables. Its Friedrichs Schur complement is
This is not a convenient approximation to the bulk energy. It is the exact least energy among all interior extensions with the prescribed boundary value.
On the selected source space
Relative to the Gram matrix
Example (illustrative)
A selected source vector can have a nonzero incompatibility
Scope and limits
A floating-point eigenvalue is discovery evidence, not a rigorous certificate. Website copy must retain the need for exact or certified-rank arithmetic and a rigorous interval lower endpoint for every normalized block.
