Block Krylov processes

Block Hermitian Lanczos

If the vector $b$ in the Hermitian Lanczos process is replaced by a matrix $B$ with $p$ columns, we can derive the block Hermitian Lanczos process.

After $k$ iterations of the block Hermitian Lanczos process, the situation may be summarized as

\[\begin{align*} A V_k &= V_{k+1} T_{k+1,k}, \\ V_k^H V_k &= I_{pk}, \end{align*}\]

where $V_k$ is an orthonormal basis of the block Krylov subspace $\mathcal{K}_k^{\square}(A,B)$,

\[T_{k+1,k} = \begin{bmatrix} \Omega_1 & \Psi_2^H & & \\ \Psi_2 & \Omega_2 & \ddots & \\ & \ddots & \ddots & \Psi_k^H \\ & & \Psi_k & \Omega_k \\ & & & \Psi_{k+1} \end{bmatrix}.\]

The function hermitian_lanczos returns $V_{k+1}$, $\Psi_1$ and $T_{k+1,k}$.

Block Non-Hermitian Lanczos

If the vectors $b$ and $c$ in the non-Hermitian Lanczos process are replaced by matrices $B$ and $C$ with both $p$ columns, we can derive the block non-Hermitian Lanczos process.

After $k$ iterations of the block non-Hermitian Lanczos process, the situation may be summarized as

\[\begin{align*} A V_k &= V_{k+1} T_{k+1,k}, \\ A^H U_k &= U_{k+1} T_{k,k+1}^H, \\ V_k^H U_k &= U_k^H V_k = I_{pk}, \end{align*}\]

where $V_k$ and $U_k$ are bases of the block Krylov subspaces $\mathcal{K}^{\square}_k(A,B)$ and $\mathcal{K}^{\square}_k (A^H,C)$, respectively,

\[T_{k+1,k} = \begin{bmatrix} \Omega_1 & \Phi_2 & & \\ \Psi_2 & \Omega_2 & \ddots & \\ & \ddots & \ddots & \Phi_k \\ & & \Psi_k & \Omega_k \\ & & & \Psi_{k+1} \end{bmatrix} , \qquad T_{k,k+1}^H = \begin{bmatrix} \Omega_1^H & \Psi_2^H & & \\ \Phi_2^H & \Omega_2^H & \ddots & \\ & \ddots & \ddots & \Psi_k^H \\ & & \Phi_k^H & \Omega_k^H \\ & & & \Phi_{k+1}^H \end{bmatrix}.\]

\[\begin{align*} A V_k &= V_{k+1} H_{k+1,k}, \\ V_k^H V_k &= I_{pk}, \end{align*}\]

where $V_k$ is an orthonormal basis of the block Krylov subspace $\mathcal{K}_k^{\square}(A,B)$,

\[H_{k+1,k} = \begin{bmatrix} \Psi_{1,1}~ & \Psi_{1,2}~ & \ldots & \Psi_{1,k} \\ \Psi_{2,1}~ & \ddots~ & \ddots & \vdots \\ & \ddots~ & \ddots & \Psi_{k-1,k} \\ & & \Psi_{k,k-1} & \Psi_{k,k} \\ & & & \Psi_{k+1,k} \end{bmatrix}.\]
