APPLICATION OF THE IMPLICITLY UPDATED ARNOLDI METHOD WITH A COMPLEX SHIFT-AND-INVERT STRATEGY IN MHD

摘要

The implicitly updated Arnoldi method introduced by Sorensen with an internal QR-iteration is a very useful eigenvalue solver for nonsymmetric eigenvalue problems. To make this method rigorous in finding internal eigenvalues, a complex shift-and-invert strategy is used. Therefore a complex variant of the method has been constructed and the method has been compared with a Lanczos method, as implemented by Cullum at al., for a practical problem in magnetohydrodynamics.
