Ritz and pseudo-Ritz values using matrix polynomials (Q1923177)

A unified approach of two block Krylov subspace methods is presented based on the block Arnoldi procedure for a real nonsymmetric matrix \(A\). It is shown that matrix polynomials are the appropriate tool for analyzing the convergence of Jordan-Ritz pairs when \(A\) is not diagonalizable. Analogous arguments are used to study the convergence properties of a linear system solver that minimizes the residual norm on the generated Krylov subspace.
