Krylov subspace residual and restarting for certain second order differential equations

We propose algorithms for efficient time integration of large systems of oscillatory second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) whose solution can be expressed in terms of trigonometric matrix functions. Our algorithms are based on a residual notion for second order ODEs, which allows to extend the ``residual-time restarting'' Krylov subspace framework -- which was recently introduced for exponential and $\varphi$-functions occurring in time integration of first order ODEs -- to our setting. We then show that the computational cost can be further reduced in many cases by using our restarting in the Gautschi cosine scheme. We analyze residual convergence in terms of Faber and Chebyshev series and supplement these theoretical results by numerical experiments illustrating the efficiency of the proposed methods

Approximation of functions of large matrices with Kronecker structure

We consider the numerical approximation of f(A) b where b 08 RNand A is the sum of Kronecker products, that is A= M2 97 I+ I 97 M1 08 RN 7N. Here f is a regular function such that f(A) is well defined. We derive a computational strategy that significantly lowers the memory requirements and computational efforts of the standard approximations, with special emphasis on the exponential and on completely monotonic functions, for which the new procedure becomes particularly advantageous. Our findings are illustrated by numerical experiments with typical functions used in applications
