Short summary
An algorithm to perform a sensitivity analysis for electromagnetic eigenvalue problems is presented. By computing the sensitivity of the eigenvalues und eigenvectors of the problem, a couple of information can be derived with only a single calculation, which normally requires multiple computations. The results for the sensitivity of a specific parameter is presented and show good agreement with other methods. It’s a basic algorithm which can be applied to similar problems.
