6.4 Arnoldi's Method for Linear Systems

Given an initial guess x 0 to the original linear system Ax = b, we now consider an orthogonal projection method, as defined in the previous chapter, which takes , with

in which r 0 = b ? Ax 0. This method seeks an approximate solution x m from the affine subspace x 0 + of dimension m by imposing the Galerkin condition

If v 1 = r 0/ ? r 0 ? 2 in Arnoldi's method and we set ? = ? r 0 ? 2, then

by (6.8) and

As a result, the approximate solution using the above m-dimensional subspaces is given by

A method based on this approach and called the full orthogonalization method (FOM) is described next. MGS is used in the Arnoldi procedure.

ALGORITHM 6.4: FOM
  1. Compute r 0 = b ? Ax 0, ? := ? r 0 ? 2, and ? 1 := r 0/ ?

  2. Define the m m matrix H m = { h ij} i, j=1, , m; Set H m = 0

  3. For j = 1, 2, , m, Do

  4. Compute w j := Av j

  5. For i = 1, , j, Do

  6. h ij = ( w j, ? i)

  7. w j
