# NEPCISS

NEPCISS = “ciss” - A contour integral eigensolver based on the Sakurai-Sugiura scheme.

## Notes

This solver is based on the numerical contour integration idea proposed initially for linear problems by Sakurai and Sugiura [2003]. In nonlinear eigenproblems, a Rayleigh-Ritz projection is done, resulting in a small dense nonlinear eigenproblem [Asakura et al., 2009, Yokota and Sakurai, 2013].

Contour integral methods are able to compute all eigenvalues lying inside a region of the complex plane. Use `NEPGetRG()` to specify the region. However, the computational cost is usually high because multiple linear systems must be solved. Use `NEPCISSGetKSPs()` to configure the `KSP` objects for this.

Details of the implementation in SLEPc can be found in [Maeda et al., 2016].
