Efficient estimation of eigenvalue counts in an interval

arXiv:1308.4275

Abstract

Estimating the number of eigenvalues located in a given interval of a large sparse Hermitian matrix is an important problem in certain applications and it is a prerequisite of eigensolvers based on a divide-and-conquer paradigm. Often an exact count is not necessary and methods based on stochastic estimates can be utilized to yield rough approximations. This paper examines a number of techniques tailored to this specific task. It reviews standard approaches and explores new ones based on polynomial and rational approximation filtering combined with a stochastic procedure.
