Abstract

This paper studies a number of Newton methods and use them to define new secondary linear systems of equations for the Davidson eigenvalue method. The new secondary equations avoid some common pitfalls of the existing ones such as the correction equation and the Jacobi-Davidson preconditioning. We will also demonstrate that the new schemes can be used efficiently in test problems.
