The aim of the course is to make the postgraduate student familiar with concepts and methods from numerical linear algebra. In general there are ready-made program libraries available but it is important to be able to recognize types of input which may cause problems for the most common methods.
Kunskap och förståelse
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden have demonstrated substantially better and more useful knowledge of numerical linear algebra than students who only have completed a regular basic course in scientific computing or linear algebra.
Färdighet och förmåga
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden be able to implement algorithms for numerical linear algebra algorithms as computer code and to use them to solve applied problems.
Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden write logically well-structured reports, in adequate terminology, on weekly homework dealing with the construction and application of advanced algorithms in linear algebra.
Norms. Singular value decomposition and numerical rank. QR factorization, the Gram-Schmidt process and Householder matrices. Least squares problems and pseudoinverses. Linear systems of equations and condition numbers. Positive definite matrices and Cholesky factorization. Numeric determination of eigenvalues.
