In particular, we will pay attention to the recently proposed class of Jacobi-Davidson methods, which represent versatile approaches for the solution of large sparse eigenproblems. In these methods correction equations have to be solved for a proper update of the approximations for an eigenpair, and for the solution of these correction equations we may employ the arsenal of techniques available for iterative solution of linear sparse systems, including preconditioning. An overview of variants of the Jacobi-Davidson method for standard linear eigenproblems will be given. Although these methods can be used for the computation of any desired eigenpair, it turns out that they can be employed in particular for interior eigenproblems, without the necessity to solve accurately large linear systems, as is the case in the shift and invert approach.\\[2mm] This work reflects joint research with Gerard Sleijpen. \end{abstract} \end{document}
