Abstract
This paper focuses on the iterative solution of sequences of large-scale linear systems of equations with similar structure arising in nonlinear mechanics and stochastic analysis.
To exploit this similarity,
we combine preconditioned Krylov methods with deflation and update the deflation basis from previously computed vectors.
The efficiency is illustrated in three different applications:
the stochastic Darcy-flow systems,
the strip-footing elasto-plastic benchmark solved by quasi-Newton/variable preconditioning (QNVP),
and slope stability analysis solved by a continuation Newton-like method within the modified shear strength reduction framework. In all cases, deflation significantly reduces total runtime.
