When m = n, Ritz values are eigenvalues. Even for n m, Ritz values are often accurate approximations to eigenvalues of A! For symmetric matrices with evenly spaced eigenvalues, Ritz values tend to first convert to extreme eigenvalue. With rounding errors, Lanczos iteration can suffer from loss of orthogonality and can in turn lead to spurious “ghost” eigenvalues. Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 9 / 9.

  • Krylov Subspaces
    Lab 1 Krylov Subspaces Lab Objective: Discuss simple Krylov Subspace Methods for finding eigenvalues and show some interesting applications. One of the biggest difficulties in computational linear algebra is the amount of memory needed to store a large matrix and the amount of time needed to read its entries. Methods using Krylov subspaces avoid this difficulty by studying how a matrix acts on vectors, making it unnecessary in many cases to create the matrix itself. More specifically, we can construct a Krylov subspace just by knowing how a linear transformation acts on vectors, and with these subspaces we can closely approximate eigenvalues of the transformation and solutions to associated linear systems. The Arnoldi iteration is an algorithm for finding an orthonormal basis of a Krylov subspace. Its outputs can also be used to approximate the eigenvalues of the original matrix. The Arnoldi Iteration The order-N Krylov subspace of A generated by x is 2 n−1 Kn(A; x) = spanfx;Ax;A x;:::;A xg: If the vectors fx;Ax;A2x;:::;An−1xg are linearly independent, then they form a basis for Kn(A; x). However, this basis is usually far from orthogonal, and hence computations using this basis will likely be ill-conditioned. One way to find an orthonormal basis for Kn(A; x) would be to use the modi- fied Gram-Schmidt algorithm from Lab TODO on the set fx;Ax;A2x;:::;An−1xg. More efficiently, the Arnold iteration integrates the creation of fx;Ax;A2x;:::;An−1xg with the modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm, returning an orthonormal basis for Kn(A; x).

  • Limited Memory Block Krylov Subspace Optimization for Computing Dominant Singular Value Decompositions
    Limited Memory Block Krylov Subspace Optimization for Computing Dominant Singular Value Decompositions Xin Liu∗ Zaiwen Weny Yin Zhangz March 22, 2012 Abstract In many data-intensive applications, the use of principal component analysis (PCA) and other related techniques is ubiquitous for dimension reduction, data mining or other transformational purposes. Such transformations often require efficiently, reliably and accurately computing dominant singular value de- compositions (SVDs) of large unstructured matrices. In this paper, we propose and study a subspace optimization technique to significantly accelerate the classic simultaneous iteration method. We analyze the convergence of the proposed algorithm, and numerically compare it with several state-of-the-art SVD solvers under the MATLAB environment. Extensive computational results show that on a wide range of large unstructured matrices, the proposed algorithm can often provide improved efficiency or robustness over existing algorithms. Keywords. subspace optimization, dominant singular value decomposition, Krylov subspace, eigen- value decomposition 1 Introduction Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a fundamental and enormously useful tool in matrix computations, such as determining the pseudo-inverse, the range or null space, or the rank of a matrix, solving regular or total least squares data fitting problems, or computing low-rank approximations to a matrix, just to mention a few. The need for computing SVDs also frequently arises from diverse fields in statistics, signal processing, data mining or compression, and from various dimension-reduction models of large-scale dynamic systems. Usually, instead of acquiring all the singular values and vectors of a matrix, it suffices to compute a set of dominant (i.e., the largest) singular values and their corresponding singular vectors in order to obtain the most valuable and relevant information about the underlying dataset or system.

Barlow Abstract Many algorithms for solving eigenproblems need to compute an orthonormal basis. The computation is commonly performed using a QR factorization computed using the classical or the modi®ed Gram±Schmidt algorithm, the Householder algorithm, the Givens algorithm or the Gram±Schmidt algorithm with iterative reorthogonalization. For the eigenproblem, although textbooks warn users about the possible instability of eigensolvers due to loss of orthonormality, few theoretical results exist. In this paper we prove that the loss of orthonormality of the computed basis can aect the reliability of the computed eigenpair when we use the Arnoldi method. We also show that the stopping criterion based on the backward error and the value computed using the Arnoldi method can dier because of the loss of orthonormality of the computed basis of the Krylov subspace. We also give a bound which quanti®es this dierence in terms of the loss of orthonormality. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Power Method and Krylov Subspaces
    Power method and Krylov subspaces Introduction When calculating an eigenvalue of a matrix A using the power method, one starts with an initial random vector b and then computes iteratively the sequence Ab, A2b,...,An−1b normalising and storing the result in b on each iteration. The sequence converges to the eigenvector of the largest eigenvalue of A. The set of vectors 2 n−1 Kn = b, Ab, A b,...,A b , (1) where n < rank(A), is called the order-n Krylov matrix, and the subspace spanned by these vectors is called the order-n Krylov subspace. The vectors are not orthogonal but can be made so e.g. by Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation. For the same reason that An−1b approximates the dominant eigenvector one can expect that the other orthogonalised vectors approximate the eigenvectors of the n largest eigenvalues. Krylov subspaces are the basis of several successful iterative methods in numerical linear algebra, in particular: Arnoldi and Lanczos methods for finding one (or a few) eigenvalues of a matrix; and GMRES (Generalised Minimum RESidual) method for solving systems of linear equations. These methods are particularly suitable for large sparse matrices as they avoid matrix-matrix opera- tions but rather multiply vectors by matrices and work with the resulting vectors and matrices in Krylov subspaces of modest sizes. Arnoldi iteration Arnoldi iteration is an algorithm where the order-n orthogonalised Krylov matrix Qn of a matrix A is built using stabilised Gram-Schmidt process: • start with a set Q = {q1} of one random normalised vector q1 • repeat for k =2 to n : – make a new vector qk = Aqk−1 † – orthogonalise qk to all vectors qi ∈ Q storing qi qk → hi,k−1 – normalise qk storing qk → hk,k−1 – add qk to the set Q By construction the matrix Hn made of the elements hjk is an upper Hessenberg matrix, h1,1 h1,2 h1,3 ··· h1,n h2,1 h2,2 h2,3 ··· h2,n 0 h3,2 h3,3 ··· h3,n Hn = , (2) .

Minimum Residual Methods • In the derivation of the Conjugate Gradient Method, we made use of the Krylov subspace 2 k−1 K(r1; A; k) = spanfr1;Ar1;A r1;:::;A r1g to obtain a solution of Ax = b, where A was a symmetric positive definite matrix and (0) (0) r1 = b − Ax was the residual associated with the initial guess x . • Specifically, the Conjugate Gradient Method generated a sequence of approximate solutions x(k), k = 1; 2;:::; where each iterate had the form k (k) (0) (0) X x = x + Qkyk = x + qjyjk; k = 1; 2;:::; (1) j=1 and the columns q1; q2;:::; qk of Qk formed an orthonormal basis of the Krylov subspace K(b; A; k). • In this section, we examine whether a similar approach can be used for solving Ax = b even when the matrix A is not symmetric positive definite.

  • LARGE-SCALE COMPUTATION of PSEUDOSPECTRA USING ARPACK and EIGS∗ 1. Introduction. the Matrices in Many Eigenvalue Problems
    SIAM J. SCI. COMPUT. c 2001 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 591–605 LARGE-SCALE COMPUTATION OF PSEUDOSPECTRA USING ARPACK AND EIGS∗ THOMAS G. WRIGHT† AND LLOYD N. TREFETHEN† Abstract. ARPACK and its Matlab counterpart, eigs, are software packages that calculate some eigenvalues of a large nonsymmetric matrix by Arnoldi iteration with implicit restarts. We show that at a small additional cost, which diminishes relatively as the matrix dimension increases, good estimates of pseudospectra in addition to eigenvalues can be obtained as a by-product. Thus in large- scale eigenvalue calculations it is feasible to obtain routinely not just eigenvalue approximations, but also information as to whether or not the eigenvalues are likely to be physically significant. Examples are presented for matrices with dimension up to 200,000. Key words. Arnoldi, ARPACK, eigenvalues, implicit restarting, pseudospectra AMS subject classifications. 65F15, 65F30, 65F50 PII. S106482750037322X 1. Introduction. The matrices in many eigenvalue problems are too large to allow direct computation of their full spectra, and two of the iterative tools available for computing a part of the spectrum are ARPACK [10, 11]and its Matlab counter- part, eigs.1 For nonsymmetric matrices, the mathematical basis of these packages is the Arnoldi iteration with implicit restarting [11, 23], which works by compressing the matrix to an “interesting” Hessenberg matrix, one which contains information about the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of interest. For general information on large-scale nonsymmetric matrix eigenvalue iterations, see [2, 21, 29, 31]. For some matrices, nonnormality (nonorthogonality of the eigenvectors) may be physically important [30].
