Abstract:
In theory, the Lanczos algorithm generates an orthogonal basis of the corresponding Krylov subspace. However, in finite precision arithmetic the orthogonality and linear independence of the computed Lanczos vectors is usually lost quickly. In this paper we study a class of matrices and starting vectors having a special nonzero structure that guarantees exact computations of the Lanczos algorithm whenever floating point arithmetic satisfying the IEEE 754 standard is used. Analogous results are formulated also for an implementation of the conjugate gradient method called cgLanczos. This implementation then computes approximations that agree with their exact counterparts to a relative accuracy given by the machine precision and the condition number of the system matrix. The results are extended to the Arnoldi algorithm, the nonsymmetric Lanczos algorithm, the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization, the block-Lanczos algorithm, and their counterparts for solving linear systems.

Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University, and in cooperation with the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (RICAM). Reviews of all ETNA papers appear in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik. Reference information for ETNA papers also appears in the expanded Science Citation Index. ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613.
