Abstract

Aggressive early deflation has proven to significantly enhance the convergence of the QR algorithm for computing the eigenvalues of a nonsymmetric matrix. One purpose of this paper is to point out that this deflation strategy is equivalent to extracting converged Ritz vectors from certain Krylov subspaces. As a special case, the single-shift QR algorithm enhanced with aggressive early deflation corresponds to a Krylov subspace method whose starting vector undergoes a Rayleigh-quotient iteration. It is shown how these observations can be used to derive improved convergence bounds for the QR algorithm.
