The Short-term Rational Lanczos Method and Applications
Rational Krylov subspaces have become a reference tool in dimension reduction procedures for several application problems. When data matrices are symmetric, a short-term recurrence can be used to generate an associated orthonormal basis. In the past this procedure was abandoned because it requires twice the number of linear system solves per iteration than with the classical long-term method. We propose an implementation that allows one to obtain key rational subspace matrices without explicitly storing the whole orthonormal basis, with a moderate computational overhead associated with sparse system solves. Several applications are discussed to illustrate the advantages of the proposed procedure.
