Abstract
A central problem in the Jacobi-Davidson method is to expand a projection subspace by solving a certain correction equation. It has been commonly accepted that the correction equation always has a solution. However, it is proved in this paper that this is not true. Conditions are given to decide when it has a unique solution or many solutions or no solution. A refined Jacobi-Davidson method is proposed to overcome the possible nonconvergence of Ritz vectors by computing certain refined approximation eigenvectors from the subspace. A corresponding correction equation is derived for the refined method. Numerical experiments are conducted and efficiency of the refined method is confirmed.
