The package is designed to compute a few eigenvalues and corresponding
|
|
eigenvectors of a general n by n matrix A. It is most appropriate for large
|
|
sparse or structured matrices A where structured means that a matrix-vector
|
|
product w <- Av requires order n rather than the usual order n2 floating point
|
|
operations. This software is based upon an algorithmic variant of the Arnoldi
|
|
process called the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method (IRAM). When the matrix
|
|
A is symmetric it reduces to a variant of the Lanczos process called the
|
|
Implicitly Restarted Lanczos Method (IRLM). These variants may be viewed as a
|
|
synthesis of the Arnoldi/Lanczos process with the Implicitly Shifted QR
|
|
technique that is suitable for large scale problems. For many standard
|
|
problems, a matrix factorization is not required. Only the action of the matrix
|
|
on a vector is needed.
|
|
ARPACK software is capable of solving large scale symmetric, nonsymmetric,
|
|
and generalized eigenproblems from significant application areas. The software
|
|
is designed to compute a few (k) eigenvalues with user specified features
|
|
such as those of largest real part or largest magnitude. Storage requirements
|
|
are on the order of n*k locations. No auxiliary storage is required. A set
|
|
of Schur basis vectors for the desired k-dimensional eigen-space is computed
|
|
which is numerically orthogonal to working precision. Numerically accurate
|
|
eigenvectors are available on request.
