A block EN algorithm for nonsymmetric linear systems with multiple right-hand sides (Q1964328)

The EN method is extended to a block version for solving nonsymmetric linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. A deflation technique is employed in the block-EN (BEN) method to delete linearly dependent vectors in the underlying block sequence. However, the BEN method with deflation procedure still keeps the blockwise computation, instead of vectorwise generation of the basis vectors for the underlying block subspace. Numerical experiments show the efficiency and stability of the algorithm.
