Abstract. We describe iterative methods for simultaneously reducing large sparse matrix pairs using congruence transformations. For a symmetric pair, the reduction is tridiagonal-tridiagonal, while it is Hessenberg-Hessenberg for a nonsymmetric pair. We show how these reduction schemes relate to the well-established shift-and-invert Lanczos and Arnoldi methods when initialized with suitably chosen starting vectors, thus revealing capabilities that had so far remained obscured and untapped. In the setting of solving the generalized eigenvalue problem, we show how the tridiagonal-tridiagonal form further simplifies to tridiagonal-diagonal at no extra cost, and the Hessenberg-Hessenberg form to Hessenberg-triangular at no extra cost too. Illustrative numerical results are given.
