Abstract
We propose a Newton-like iteration that evolves on the set of fixed dimensional subspaces of $\rr^n$ and converges locally cubically to the invariant subspaces of a symmetric matrix. This iteration is compared in terms of numerical cost and global behaviour with three other methods that display the same property of cubic convergence. Moreover, we consider heuristics that greatly improve the global behaviour of the iterations.
