Recursive blocked algorithms have proven to be highly efficient at the numerical solution of the Sylvester matrix equation and its generalizations. In this work, we show that these algorithms extend in a seamless fashion to higher-dimensional variants of g ...
A new model for the description of beam instabilities in synchrotrons featuring wakefields and space charge forces is proposed, using the circulant matrix approach. The predictions of this model are discussed in light of past ones, with a particular emphas ...
We consider the problem of efficiently solving Sylvester and Lyapunov equations of medium and large scale, in case of rank-structured data, i.e., when the coefficient matrices and the right-hand side have low-rank off-diagonal blocks. This comprises proble ...
Block Krylov subspace methods (KSMs) comprise building blocks in many state-of-the-art solvers for large-scale matrix equations as they arise, for example, from the discretization of partial differential equations. While extended and rational block Krylov ...
Stochastic phenomena are often described by Langevin equations, which serve as a mesoscopic model for microscopic dynamics. It has been known since the work of Parisi and Sourlas that reversible (or equilibrium) dynamics present supersymmetries (SUSYs). Th ...
A large part of the research utilizing the concept of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) relies heavily on the PL model, an approximation of the trip completion rate derived for steady states. There exists an alternative method to the PL approximation. ...
A New Look at Civic Design reflects on the nature of the various crises facing the very idea of democracy today, explicitly in relation to climate change - namely mass extinctions, water scarcity and overabundance, and in general widespread and increasing ...
The efficient and accurate QR decomposition for matrices with hierarchical low-rank structures, such as HODLR and hierarchical matrices, has been challenging. Existing structure-exploiting algorithms are prone to numerical instability as they proceed indi- ...
Based on the spectral divide-and-conquer algorithm by Nakatsukasa and Higham [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 35(3):A1325-A1349, 2013], we propose a new algorithm for computing all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric banded matrix with small bandwidth, w ...
Graph-based representations underlie a wide range of scientific problems. Graph connectivity is typically represented as a sparse matrix in the Compressed Sparse Row format. Large-scale graphs rely on distributed storage, allocating distinct subsets of row ...
