Lanczos Algorithm - Lanczos Method

Lanczos Method

During the procedure of applying the power method, while getting the ultimate eigenvector, we also got a series of vectors which were eventually discarded. As is often taken to be quite large, this can result in a large amount of disregarded information. More advanced algorithms, such as Arnoldi's algorithm and the Lanczos algorithm, save this information and use the Gram–Schmidt process or Householder algorithm to reorthogonalize them into a basis spanning the Krylov subspace corresponding to the matrix .

Famous quotes containing the word method:

    Government by average opinion is merely a circuitous method of going to the devil; those who profess to lead but in fact slavishly follow this average opinion are simply the fastest runners and the loudest squeakers of the herd which is rushing blindly down to its destruction.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
