Petr Tichy (TU Berlin)
Worst-case GMRES for normal matrices and Jordan blocks
Do 28.10.2004, 10:00 Uhr in MA 313

Abstract:
Understanding the convergence behavior of the GMRES method for solving linear algebraic systems has been a challenging research topic for the last two decades. In this talk we present recent results on the algorithm's behavior for systems with normal coefficient matrices as well as for systems with a single Jordan block. We concentrate on the worst-case behavior of the GMRES residual norm.

For normal matrices, the worst-case behavior is described by a min-max approximation problem on the discrete set of the matrix eigenvalues. We will discuss how to evaluate or estimate this min-max approximation, and if it is possible to characterize the GMRES-related quantities that lead to the worst-case behavior.

For nonnormal matrices, the situation is more complicated. In general, no sharp bound in the GMRES residual norms is known, that depends on properties of the matrix only . However, in many cases the worst-case GMRES behavior is characterized by the so-called ideal GMRES approximation problem, introduced by Greenbaum and Trefethen. Evaluation or estimation of this ideal GMRES approximation in general still represents an open problem. We investigate this problem for a Jordan block, the prototype of a nonnormal matrix.
