New scheme for large-scale eigenvalue problems of the RPA-type matrix equation
Susumu Narita, Tai‐ichi Shibuya · Canadian Journal of Chemistry · 1992
A new method is proposed for obtaining a few eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a large-scale RPA-type equation. Some numerical tests are carried out to study the convergence behaviors of this method. It is found that the convergence rate is very fast and quite satisfactory. It depends strongly on the way of estimating the deviation vectors. Our proposed scheme gives a better estimation for the deviation vectors than Davidson's scheme. This scheme is applicable to the eigenvalue problems of nondiagonally dominant matrices as well. Keywords: large-scale eigenvalue problem, RPA-type equation, fast convergence.
