A Contour-integral Based QZ Algorithm for Generalized Eigenvalue Problems (1508.04192v1)

Abstract: Recently, a kind of eigensolvers based on contour integral were developed for computing the eigenvalues inside a given region in the complex plane. The CIRR method is a classic example among this kind of methods. In this paper, we propose a contour-integral based QZ method which is also devoted to computing partial spectrum of generalized eigenvalue problems. Our new method takes advantage of the technique in the CIRR method of constructing a particular subspace containing the eigenspace of interest via contour integrals. The main difference between our method and CIRR is the mechanism of extracting the desired eigenpairs. We establish the related framework and address some implementation issues so as to make the resulting method applicable in practical implementations. Numerical experiments are reported to illustrate the numerical performance of our new method.
