Steady solutions with b.c.can be found by the iterative procedure:un+1=F(un), whereF(un) is the “Runge-Kutta integrator over one time-step” The dominant eigenvalue of the Jacobian determines the asymptotic rate of the convergence of the fixed point iteration RPM: method implemented around existing DNS alternative to Newton! Identifies the low-dimensional unstable subspace of a few “slow” eigenvalues Stabilizes (and speeds-up) convergence of DNS even onto unstable steady-states. Efficient bifurcation analysis by computing only the few eigenvalues of the small subspace. Even when the Jacobian matrix is not explicitly available (!) Recursive Projection Method (RPM)
