Restarted block-GMRES with deflation of eigenvalues (Q557941)

Block methods are an appropriate approach for systems of linear equations with multiple right-hand sides and fairly expensive matrix-vector products. Restarts of the block-generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method may be needed for the well-known reasons, but can induce a slow-down of the iteration. The small eigenvalues are often the reason and a version with deflated eigenvalues is suggested. The author states that it now competes with the block-quasi-minimal residual method.
