The lattice mode problem
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:lattice mode equation"
plural "false"

\end_inset
is (after multipole degree truncation) solved by finding
\begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$
\end_inset
for which the matrix
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
has a zero singular value.
A naïve approach to do that is to sample a volume with a grid in the
\begin_inset Formula $\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
space, performing a singular value decomposition of
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
at each point and finding where the lowest singular value of
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
is close enough to zero.
However, this approach is quite expensive, for
\begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
has to be evaluated for each
\begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$
\end_inset
pair separately (unlike the original finite case

translation operator
\begin_inset Formula $\trops$
\end_inset
, which, for a given geometry, depends only on frequency).
Therefore, a much more efficient approach to determine the photonic bands
is to sample the
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset
-space (a whole Brillouin zone or its part) and for each fixed
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset
to find a corresponding frequency
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
with zero singular value of
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
using a minimisation algorithm (two- or one-dimensional, depending on whether
one needs the exact complex-valued
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset
or whether the its real-valued approximation is satisfactory).
Typically, a good initial guess for
\begin_inset Formula $\omega\left(\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
is obtained from the empty lattice approximation,
\begin_inset Formula $\left|\vect k\right|=\sqrt{\epsilon\mu}\omega/c_{0}$
\end_inset
(modulo lattice points; TODO write this a clean way).
A somehow challenging step is to distinguish the different bands that can
all be very close to the empty lattice approximation, especially if the
particles in the systems are small.
In high-symmetry points of the Brilloin zone, this can be solved by factorising
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
into irreducible representations
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{i}$
\end_inset
and performing the minimisation in each irrep separately, cf.
Section

\begin_inset Formula $\omega_{\Gamma_{i}}\left(\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
to obtain the initial guesses for the nearby points
