Stewart's recent Krylov-Schur algorithm ofiers two advantages over Sorensen's im- plicitly restarted Arnoldi (IRA) algorithm. The flrst is ease of de∞ation of converged Ritz vectors, the second is the avoidance of the potential forward instability of the QR algorithm. In this paper we develop a block version of the Krylov-Schur algorithm for symmetric eigenproblems. Details of this block algorithm are discussed, including how to handle the rank deflcient cases and how to use difierent block sizes. Numerical results on the e-ciency of the block Krylov-Schur method are reported.
