Randomized Krylov-Schur eigensolver with deflation

Abstract: This work introduces a novel algorithm to solve large-scale eigenvalue problems and seek a small set of eigenpairs. The method, called randomized Krylov-Schur (rKS), has a simple implementation and benefits from fast and efficient operations in low-dimensional spaces, such as sketch-orthogonalization processes and stable reordering of Schur factorizations. It also includes a practical deflation technique for converged eigenpairs, enabling the computation of the eigenspace associated with a given part of the spectrum. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the scalability and accuracy of the method.
