We present two novel methods for approximating minimizers of the abstract Rayleigh quotient Φ (u)/‖ u‖ p. Here Φ is a strictly convex functional on a Banach space with norm‖⋅‖, and Φ is assumed to be positively homogeneous of degree p∈(1,∞). Minimizers are shown to satisfy∂ Φ (u)− λ J p (u)∋ 0 for a certain λ∈ R, where J p is the subdifferential of 1 p‖⋅‖ p. The first approximation scheme is based on inverse iteration for square matrices and involves sequences that satisfy∂ Φ (u k)− J p (u k− 1)∋ 0 (k∈ N). The second method is based on the large time behavior of solutions of the doubly nonlinear evolution J p (v˙(t))+∂ Φ (v (t))∋ 0 (a. e. t> 0) and more generally p-curves of maximal slope for Φ. We show that both schemes have the remarkable property that the Rayleigh quotient is nonincreasing along solutions and that properly scaled solutions converge to a minimizer of Φ (u)/‖ u‖ p. These results are new even for Hilbert spaces and their primary application is in the approximation of optimal constants and extremal functions for inequalities in Sobolev spaces.
