Tuned preconditioners for inexact two-sided inverse and Rayleigh quotient iteration

Abstract

SUMMARYConvergence results are provided for inexact two‐sided inverse and Rayleigh quotient iteration, which extend the previously established results to the generalized non‐Hermitian eigenproblem and inexact solves with a decreasing solve tolerance. Moreover, the simultaneous solution of the forward and adjoint problem arising in two‐sided methods is considered, and the successful tuning strategy for preconditioners is extended to two‐sided methods, creating a novel way of preconditioning two‐sided algorithms. Furthermore, it is shown that inexact two‐sided Rayleigh quotient iteration and the inexact two‐sided Jacobi‐Davidson method (without subspace expansion) applied to the generalized preconditioned eigenvalue problem are equivalent when a certain number of steps of a Petrov–Galerkin–Krylov method is used and when this specific tuning strategy is applied.
