Dear Jose,
Many thanks for the guidance. I haven't yet extensively tested the
program, but I will cautiously
claim that it seems to be working
on the small test problem described below (i.e. a small modification of your
ex1f.F program). I am currently
using version 3.20, but I will upgrade to 3.22 when it comes out.
For the Laplace problem with n=50 , using the gd method and seeking to find the
two leading eigenmodes (nev=2)
using a space of dimension ncv = 30, with default tolerance, on the first
solution
(using a randomized initial subspace) the algorithm requires 91 iterations to
converge,
whereas for the second solution (using the previous solution invariant
subspace as an initial subspace)
it finds the solution in 2 iterations.
Many thanks once again and best wishes,
Dan.
