| contents | We introduce a new Projected Rayleigh Quotient Iteration aimed at improving the convergence behaviour of classic Rayleigh Quotient iteration (RQI) by incorporating approximate information about the target eigenvector at each step. While classic RQI exhibits local cubic convergence for Hermitian matrices, its global behaviour can be unpredictable, whereby it may converge to an eigenvalue far away from the target, even when started with accurate initial conditions. This problem is exacerbated when the eigenvalues are closely spaced. The key idea of the new algorithm is at each step to add a complex-valued projection to the original matrix (that depends on the current eigenvector approximation), such that the unwanted eigenvalues are lifted into the complex plane while the target stays close to the real line, thereby increasing the spacing between the target eigenvalue and the rest of the spectrum. Making better use of the eigenvector approximation leads to more robust convergence behaviour and the new method converges reliably to the correct target eigenpair for a significantly wider range of initial vectors than does classic RQI. We prove that the method converges locally cubically and we present several numerical examples demonstrating the improved global convergence behaviour. In particular, we apply it to compute eigenvalues in a band-gap spectrum of a Sturm-Liouville operator used to model photonic crystal fibres, where the target and unwanted eigenvalues are closely spaced. The examples show that the new method converges to the desired eigenpair even when the eigenvalue spacing is very small, often succeeding when classic RQI fails. |
