Description: Direct methods for large, sparse linear systems; regularization of ill-conditioned least squares problems; backward error analysis of basic algorithms for linear equations and least squares, sensitivity and conditioning of linear systems and least square problems; condition estimation. Preconditioned iterative methods for linear systems (CG, GMRES, BiCGstab, QMR); multigrid methods. Matrix theory including spectral decompositions, Schur form, eigenvalue perturbation theory, and the geometry of subspaces. Eigenvalue algorithms, Sylvester and Lyapunov equations, the implicitly shifted QR algorithm, computation of the SVD, generalized eigenvalue problems. Introduction to large scale eigenvalue algorithms. Proficiency in MATLAB and acquaintance with one or more of C, F77, C++, F90 is required.
