Most algorithms for the simultaneous solution of shifted linear systems make use of the shift-invariance property of the underlying Krylov spaces. This particular comes into play when preconditioning is taken into account. We propose a new iterative framework for the solution of shifted systems that uses an inner multi-shift Krylov method as a preconditioner within a flexible outer Krylov method. Shift-invariance is preserved if the inner method yields collinear residuals.

The aim of this survey is to review some recent developments in devising efficient preconditioners for sequences of symmetric positive definite (SPD) linear systems A k x k = b k , k = 1 , … arising in many scientific applications, such as discretization of transient Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), solution of eigenvalue problems, (Inexact) Newton methods applied to nonlinear systems, rational Krylov methods for computing a function of a matrix. In this paper, we will analyze a number of techniques of updating a given initial preconditioner by a low-rank matrix with the aim of improving the clustering of eigenvalues around 1, in order to speed-up the convergence of the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) method. We will also review some techniques to efficiently approximate the linearly independent vectors which constitute the low-rank corrections and whose choice is crucial for the effectiveness of the approach. Numerical results on real-life applications show that the performance of a given iterative solver can be very much enhanced by the use of low-rank updates.
