Re: [petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc
Run your code with -eps_view_mat0 binary:amatrix.bin This will save the A matrix of the EPS solver in file "amatrix.bin" at the end of EPSSolve(). I cannot say which is the best method, it depends on the distribution of the spectrum. Let's see how it goes.

Re: [petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc
Thank you for the response. This example is exactly the kind of thing I thought about. But, as you say, convergence is indeed not better. What's the best format to send the matrix to slepc-maint? My small test case is a sparse matrix of dimension 30720. I currently read it from three files (containing IA, JA, and the values in CSR format). Because everything is contained in a larger framework, it's not very easy to extract the reader. Is there a generic way to read in sparse matrices from files for PETSc? Maybe you can already give me a hint about the best method if I tell you the properties of the spectrum: The problem is the calculation of electronic states in a quantum dot. There is a band gap from around 0 to 2 and I am interested in the first 20 or 40 eigenvectors above and below the gap. The first few states are separated by about 0.1 but for higher states the energies come closer and closer together. Additionally, there are a number of states with energies around 1000, which are artificial and originate from the way we treat the boundary conditions. Also, I know that all states come in pairs with the same energy (Kramers degeneracy). For the small test case, the conduction band states, i.e. eigenvectors with energies close to 2, converge very fast (about 5 min on a laptop computer). However, the states with energies around 0 converge much more slowly and that's one of my major problems. For those states harmonic extraction seems to be better suited, but I have the impression that it is not extremely stable. For example, applied to the states close to 2 I see that some states are skipped, which can be seen by the fact that the degeneracies are sometimes wrong. Also, with harmonic extraction, the program sometimes stops claiming the number of requested eigenpairs are reached, but the calculated relative error of most states is way larger than the tolerance. Maybe you know from experience which method is better suited to tackle these kinds of problems? Eventually, I intend to do calculates with dimensions of ~ 10 million distributed of a few 100 CPUs.

Re: [petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc
The filter technique must be used with an interval in EPS, e.g. -eps_interval 2.,2.7 (This interval will be passed to STFILTER, so no need to specify -st_filter_interval). Therefore, it does not require -eps_target_magnitude or similar. Regarding the simpler (A-tau*I)^2, we call it "spectrum folding" (see section 3.4.6 of SLEPc's manual) and it is implemented in ex24.c http://slepc.upv.es/documentation/current/src/eps/examples/tutorials/ex24.c.html My experience is that spectrum folding will not give good convergence except for easy problems.

Re: [petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc
Thank you very much. Apparently, I've misunderstood what the filter actually does. I thought about the much simpler process, where you diagonalize -(A- tau*I)^2 +offset*I where tau is my target an offset is large enough so that the global maximum is reached for eigenvalues around tau. Then you look for the largest eigenvalue of the modified problem and either calculate the Ritz value of the original matrix or calculate back from the eigenvalues of the modified problem. Now, it looks to me like -st_type filter activates something like the package FILTLAN. I guess I can define a MatShell to do the thing I intended in the first place. But, I guess, this is a common thing, so I am wondering whether it is already implemented somewhere and I just didn't find it in the documentation. Can you say something about this?

Re: [petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc
This type of method requires a very high degree polynomial; suggest using degree=100 at least (this is the default value), but larger values may be necessary. Also, for this particular filter the "range" must be approximately equal to the numerical range; if you have no clue where your first and last eigenvalues are, you may use EPSSolve() calls with EPS_LARGEST_REAL and EPS_SMALLEST_REAL.

You just set the type to STFILTER and set some parameters such as the interval of interest or the polynomial degree. See functions starting with STFilter here: http://slepc.upv.es/documentation/current/docs/manualpages/ST/index.html In some problems it works well, but don't expect too much. It is still in our to-do list to make it more usable. It will be good to have your feedback. If you want, send results to slepc-maint, maybe we can help tuning the parameters. Jose

[petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc
Hi, in the list of changes to SLEPc version 3.8, it is stated that there is a preliminary implementation of polynomial filtering using STFILTER. Because I am struggling to obtain interior eigenvalues and harmonic extraction seems not to be stable enough in my case, I wanted to give it a try, but I could not find any documentation yet. Does anybody have an example of how to use STFILTER or any documentation about it? Thanks in advance, Moritz
