An Singular Value Decomposition based deflation technique that considers the recycling in two contexts: recycling the Krylov subspace between the restart cycles and recycling a deflation subspace when the matrix changes in a sequence of linear systems.

Abstract

This article presents deflation strategies related to recycling Krylov subspace methods for solving one or a sequence of linear systems of equations. Besides well-known strategies of deflation, Ritz-, and harmonic Ritz-based deflation, we introduce an Singular Value Decomposition based deflation technique. We consider the recycling in two contexts: recycling the Krylov subspace between the restart cycles and recycling a deflation subspace when the matrix changes in a sequence of linear systems. Numerical experiments on real-life reservoir simulation demonstrate the impact of our proposed strategy.
