Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with an efficient algorithm for solving the Extreme Lorentz Eigenvalue problem (ELE). The Lorentz eigenvalue problem is an eigenvalue complementary problem over the Lorentz cone, and solving ELE is equivalent to testing the Lorentz-copositivity for a given matrix. Treating ELE as a special eigenvalue problem, we propose a Lanczos-type method which mimics the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure and is suitable for large scale and sparse problems. The numerical behavior and efficiency of the proposed method are supported by the theoretical convergence results and some preliminary numerical experiments.
