Preconditioning for Eigenvalue Computations in Gene — •Juergen Braeckle and Thomas Huckle — TU Muenchen, Fakultaet fuer Informatik, Boltzmannstraße 3, D-85748 Garching

In the Plasma Turbulence Code Gene, turbulences are examined by finding the rightmost eigenvalues of the linear gyrokinetic operator. Finding these inner eigenvalues with the Jacobi- Davidson method requires an iterated solving of shifted linear systems (Iuu*)(A− λk I)(Iuu*)xk = bk (restriced to the subspace orthogonal to u) with a non-hermitian matrix A given as an implicit operator and changing eigenvalue approximations λk of A. With λk being a good approximation of an eigenvalue, (A − λk I) gets almost singular, and therefore this system has to be modified with a preconditioner (Iuu* )M(Iuu*). Besides a good preconditioning quality (M ≈ (A − λk I)−1 ), we are interested in high scalability, a preconditioner applicable on implicit systems and with cheap updating capabilities for a sequence of different shifted matrices. With respect to these properties, we try to solve this problem using the SPAI method and polynomial preconditioners.
