The application of preconditioned Jacobi-Davidson methods in pole-zero analysis

The application of Jacobi-Davidson style methods in electric circuit simulation will be discussed in comparison with other iterative methods (Arnoldi) and direct methods (QR, QZ). Numerical results show that the use of a preconditioner to solve the correction equation may improve the Jacobi-Davidson process, but may also cause computational and stability problems when solving the correction equation. Furthermore, some techniques to improve the stability and accuracy of the process will be given.
