Abstract
The two-sided Rayleigh quotient iteration proposed by Ostrowski computes a pair of
corresponding left-right eigenvectors of a matrix C. We propose a Grassmannian ver-
sion of this iteration, i.e., its iterates are pairs of p-dimensional subspaces instead of
one-dimensional subspaces in the classical case. The new iteration generically converges
locally cubically to the pairs of left-right p-dimensional invariant subspaces of C. More-
over, Grassmannian versions of the Rayleigh quotient iteration are given for the general-
ized Hermitian eigenproblem, the Hamiltonian eigenproblem and the skew-Hamiltonian
eigenproblem.
Keywords. Block Rayleigh quotient iteration, two-sided iteration, Grassmann manifold,
generalized eigenproblem, Hamiltonian eigenproblem.
