Some theoretical comparisons of refined Ritz vectors and Ritz vectors

Refined projection methods proposed by the author have received attention internationally. We are concerned with a conventional projection method and its refined counterpart for computing approximations to a simple eigenpair (A, x) of a large matrix A. Given a subspace ω that contains an approximation to x, these two methods compute approximations (μ,x) and (μ,x) to (λ, x), respectively. We establish three results. First, the refined eigenvector approximation or simply the refined Ritz vector x is unique as the
