Article Title: Inflationary dynamics for matrix eigenvalue problems
doi: 10.1073/pnas.0801047105
Figure Lengend Snippet: The convergence of the inflation method for the lowest four eigenpairs of a test matrix (11) is compared with the implicitly restarted Arnoldi method (as implemented in MATLAB/ARPACK). Exact eigenvalues are indicated by horizontal lines. In the inflation method, we diagonalize in a six-dimensional basis after every 6 dynamical steps. In the Arnoldi calculation, we use a basis of size 12. In each case, the computational time m represents the number of matrix-vector multiplications (i.e., we do not multiply Arnoldi iterations by 2, and we do count every matrix-vector multiplication on the horizontal axis; e.g., when inflating 6 eigenvalues, we count 6 matrix-vector multiplcations per iteration step).
