            Abstract : 
In many engineering problems we must find the roots of an equation of the form 

 where B(λ) is a nonlinear matrix of λ. In this paper we show how this problem may be reduced to integrating a system of ordinary differential equations subject to known initial conditions. The method covers also the case of complex roots. It gives directly the roots i: without the need of forming and solving the characteristic equation.
