  • Matrix equations
    • Theory, applications
    • Methods for small / dense linear and quadratic equations
  • Matrix functions
    • Theory, applications
    • Computing functions of small, dense matrices
    • Approximating matrix function times a vector

Seminar Advanced Topics in Numerical Linear Algebra

in parallel to the lecture, there will be a seminar about further topics in Numerical Linear Algebra. It will be held on September 18, 2018 at the Max Planck Institute, seminar room Prigogine - V0.05-2+3.

Although the seminar is supplementary, it is advised for lecture participants to attend the seminar even without giving an own talk because interesting additional problems will be discussed.
