One of the key points in this thesis is a compact and unified description of the nonsymmetric look-ahead Lanczos method based on formally orthogonal polynomials. This representation allows elegant proofs of \textit{M. H. Gutknecht}'s theory [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 13, No. 2, 594-639 (1992; Zbl 0760.65039)] of these algorithms without refering to the Padé literature. In addition, a new \(s\)-step variant of the look-ahead Lanczos method as proposed by \textit{R. W. Freund}, \textit{M. H. Gutknecht}, and \textit{N. M. Nachtigal} [An implementation of the look-ahead Lanczos algorithm for non-Hermitian matrices. SIAM J. Sci. Stat. Comput. (to appear)] is developed, which is better suited for implementation on a parallel computer. The different look-ahead Lanczos algorithms are then combined with quasi- minimal residual methods, namely with \textit{R. W. Freund} and \textit{N. M. Nachtigal}'s QMR method [Numer. Math. 60, No. 3, 315-339 (1991; Zbl 0754.65034)] and with \textit{R. W. Freund}'s transpose-free variant \(TFQMR\) [A transpose-free quasi-minimal residual algorithm for non-Hermitian linear systems. Techn. Rep. 91, 18, RIACS, NASA Ames Res. Cent. (1991)]. Here, the application of quasi-minimal residual methods, which originally have been proposed for nonsingular linear systems, is extended to the singular case and to Sylvester matrix equations. A complete theory of Krylov subspace methods for singular systems is given; in particular the known convergence results for \(QMR\) and \(TFQMR\) are generalized to the singular case. Moreover, the application of look- ahead algorithms to \(p\)-cyclic systems is discussed. For Sylvester matrix equations, not only the application of Krylov subspace methods is considered, but also several approaches of preconditioning (e.g. \(SSOR\) and \(ADI\) preconditioning) are analyzed.
