Title
Spectrum-Adapted Polynomial Approximation for Matrix Functions.
Abstract
We propose and investigate two new methods to approximate $f({bf A}){bf b}$ for large, sparse, Hermitian matrices ${bf A}$. The main idea behind both methods is to first estimate the spectral density of ${bf A}$, and then find polynomials of a fixed order that better approximate the function $f$ on areas of the spectrum with a higher density of eigenvalues. Compared to state-of-the-art methods such as the Lanczos method and truncated Chebyshev expansion, the proposed methods tend to provide more accurate approximations of $f({bf A}){bf b}$ at lower polynomial orders, and for matrices ${bf A}$ with a large number of distinct interior eigenvalues and a small spectral width.
