Dynamical perturbation theory for eigenvalue problems

Many problems in physics, chemistry and other fields are perturbative in nature, i.e. differ only slightly from related problems with known solutions. Prominent among these is the eigenvalue perturbation problem, wherein one seeks the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a matrix with small off-diagonal elements. Here we introduce a novel iterative algorithm to compute these eigenpairs based on fixed-point iteration for an algebraic equation in complex projective space. We show from explicit and numerical examples that our algorithm outperforms the usual Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger expansion on three counts. First, since it is not defined as a power series, its domain of convergence is not a priori confined to a disk in the complex plane; we find that it indeed usually extends beyond the standard perturbative radius of convergence. Second, it converges at a faster rate than the Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger expansion, i.e. fewer iterations are required to reach a given precision. Third, the (time- and space-) algorithmic complexity of each iteration does not increase with the order of the approximation, allowing for higher precision computations. Because this complexity is merely that of matrix multiplication, our dynamical scheme also scales better with the size of the matrix than general-purpose eigenvalue routines such as the shifted QR or divide-and-conquer algorithms. Whether they are dense, sparse, symmetric or unsymmetric, we confirm that dynamical diagonalization quickly outpaces LAPACK drivers as the size of matrices grows; for the computation of just the dominant eigenvector, our method converges order of magnitudes faster than the Arnoldi algorithm implemented in ARPACK.
