Short-Term Recurrence Krylov Subspace Methods for Nearly Hermitian
Matrices. In: SIAM. J. Matrix Anal. and Appl., vol. 33-2, pp. 480-500, 2012.
Abstract
The progressive GMRES algorithm, introduced by Beckermann and Reichel
in 2008, is a residual-minimizing short-recurrence Krylov subspace
method for solving a linear system in which the coefficient matrix
has a low-rank skew-Hermitian part. We analyze this algorithm, observing
a critical instability that makes the method unsuitable for some
problems. To work around this issue we introduce a different short-term
recurrence method based on Krylov subspaces for such matrices, which
can be used as either a solver or a preconditioner. Numerical experiments
compare this method to alternative algorithms.
