In that case, you can try LOBPCG on the pair (A,B). But this will likely be slow as well, unless you can provide a good preconditioner.<br>

I don't explicitly know the matrix A (so I am using a shell matrix with a custom matmult function) however, the matrix B is explicitly known so I compute inv(B)*A within the shell matrix and solve inv(B)*A*x = lambda*x.<br>

Moreover, the size of the system can be really big, and with the default Krylov solver, it is extremely slow. So is there a better way for me to compute the smallest eigenvalues of this system?<br>
