Abstract

The availability of efficient Krylov subspace solvers play a vital role for the solution of a variety of numerical problems in computational science. Here we consider lattice field theory. We present a new general numerical method to compute many Green's functions for complex non-singular matrices within one iteration process. Our procedure applies to matrices of structure A=DmA=D-m, with mm proportional to the unit matrix, and can be integrated within any Krylov subspace solver. We can compute the derivatives x(n)x^{(n)} of the solution vector xx with respect to the parameter mm and construct the Taylor expansion of xx around mm. We demonstrate the advantages of our method using a minimal residual solver. Here the procedure requires 11 intermediate vector for each Green's function to compute. As real life example, we determine a mass trajectory of the Wilson fermion matrix for lattice QCD. Here we find that we can obtain Green's functions at all masses m\geq m at the price of one inversion at mass mm.
