# NEPNLEIGS

NEPNLEIGS = “nleigs” - The NLEIGS method.

## Notes

This solver implements the NLEIGS method [Güttel et al., 2014], which is based on rational interpolation followed by linearization. In our implementation, the linear eigensolver for the linearization operates with a compressed Krylov basis, as in the TOAR polynomial eigensolver, see the detailed description in [Campos and Roman, 2021].

This method is particularly appropriate for nonlinear problems with singularities. The solver will try to determine the singularities automatically, but the user can also provide them with `NEPNLEIGSSetSingularitiesFunction()`.

By default, the solver performs the static NLEIGS variant, with constant shift given by `NEPSetTarget()`. But the dynamic variant (rational Krylov) is also available if a list of shifts is given in `NEPNLEIGSSetRKShifts()`.

`NEPNLEIGS` also implements a two-sided variant for computing left eigenvectors when `NEPSetTwoSided()` has been set.

Apart from working with the compressed basis, it is also possible to enable the operation with an explicit basis for the linear eigensolver, see `NEPNLEIGSSetFullBasis()`. This allows using other eigensolvers via an `EPS` object obtained with `NEPNLEIGSGetEPS()`. Also, the explicit basis is activated in the two-sided variant.
