Eigenvalue problems are a basic element of linear algebra that have a wide variety of applications. Common examples include determining the stability of dynamical systems, performing dimensionality reduction on large data sets, and predicting the physical properties of nanoscopic objects. Many applications require solving large dimensional eigenvalue problems, which can be very challenging when the required number of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is also large. The FEAST algorithm is a method of solving eigenvalue problems that allows one to calculate large numbers of eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs by using contour integration in the complex plane to divide the large number of desired pairs …
