A central problem in the Jacobi-Davidson method is to expand a projection subspace by solving a certain correction equation. It has been commonly accepted that the correction equation always has a solution. However, it is proved in this paper that this is not true. Conditions are given to decide whe

✦ Synopsis
The correction equation in the Jacobi-Davidson method is effective in a subspace orthogonal to the current eigenvector approximation, whereas for the continuation of the process only vectors orthogonal to the search subspace are of importance. Such a vector is obtained by orthogonalizing the (approximate) solution of the correction equation against the search subspace. As an alternative, a variant of the correction equation can be formulated that is restricted to the subspace orthogonal to the current search subspace. In this paper, we discuss the effectiveness of this variant.
Our investigation is also motivated by the fact that the restricted correction equation can be used for avoiding stagnation in the case of defective eigenvalues. Moreover, this equation plays a key role in the inexact TRQ method [18].

Continuation methods are well-known techniques for computing several stationary solutions of problems involving one or more physical parameters. In order to determine whether a stationary solution is stable, and to detect the bifurcation points of the problem, one has to compute the rightmost eigenv
