Title: Computation of a Few Eigen- or Singular Values of a Large Matrix ------ Speaker: Lothar Reichel (Department of Mathematics, Kent State University, USA) ------- Abstract: -------- Many problems in science and engineering require the computation of a few eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors of a large symmetric matrix, or the computation of a few singular values and associated singular vectors of a large general matrix. This talk discusses several approaches to the computation of these eigenvalues or singular values and associated vectors, with a focus on methods that do not require factorization of the matrix or the availability of a preconditioner.
