Title: FEAST Algorithm and Flexible Krylov-type Eigensolvers
Abstract: Abstract: Determining excited states in quantum physics or calculating the number of valence electrons
in the Density Functional Theory (DFT) involve solving eigenvalue problems of very large dimensions.
Moreover, very often the interesting features of these complex systems go beyond information contained in the extreme eigenpairs.
For this reason, it is important to consider iterative solvers developed to compute a large amount of eigenpairs in the middle of
the spectrum of large Hermitian and non-Hermitian matrices. In this talk, we present newly developed Krylov-type methods and
compare them with the well-established techniques in electronic structure calculations.
We demonstrate their efficiency and robustness through some numerical examples.
