This work is concerned with the computation of the action of a matrix function f(A), such as the matrix exponential or the matrix square root, on a vector b. For a general matrix A, this can be done by computing the compression of A onto a suitable Krylov ...
A novel surrogate model based on the Grassmannian diffusion maps (GDMaps) and utilizing geometric harmonics (GH) is developed for predicting the response of complex physical phenomena. The method utilizes GDMaps to obtain a low-dimensional representation o ...
The development of fluorescence-based molecular imaging has revolutionized cell biology allowing the visualization of specific biomolecules at the microscopic and, more recently, at the nanoscopic scale while in their relevant biological contexts. Nonethel ...
The first part of this thesis studies the problem of symmetry breaking in the context of simple mechanical systems with compact symmetry Lie group G. In this part we shall assume that the principal stratum of the G-action on the configuration space Q of a ...
Small relative perturbations to the entries of an essentially nonnegative matrix introduce small relative errors to entries of its exponential. It is thus desirable to compute the exponential with high componentwise relative accuracy. Taylor series approxi ...
In this paper we present a novel framework called geodesic active fields for general image registration on Riemannian manifolds. In image registration, one looks for the underlying deformation field that best maps one image onto another. This is a classic ...
We study the problem of computing the matrix exponential of a block triangular matrix in a peculiar way: Block column by block column, from left to right. The need for such an evaluation scheme arises naturally in the context of option pricing in polynomia ...
The computation of the matrix exponential is a ubiquitous operation in numerical mathematics, and for a general, unstructured n×n matrix it can be computed in O(n3) operations. An interesting problem arises if the input matrix is a Toeplitz matrix, for exa ...
The family of natural evolution strategies (NES) offers a principled approach to real-valued evolutionary optimization by following the natural gradient of the expected fitness. Like the well-known CMA-ES, the most competitive algorithm in the field, NES c ...
