Appearing frequently in applications, generalized eigenvalue problems represent one of the core problems in numerical linear algebra. The QZ algorithm of Moler and Stewart is the most widely used algorithm for addressing such problems. Despite its importan ...
We investigate the buckling of a slender rod embedded in a soft elastomeric matrix through a combination of experiments, numerics and theory. Depending on the control parameters, both planar wavy (2D) or non-planar coiled (3D) configurations are observed i ...
Computing the exponential of large-scale skew-Hermitian matrices or parts thereof is frequently required in applications. In this work, we consider the task of extracting finite diagonal blocks from a doubly-infinite skew-Hermitian matrix. These matrices u ...
Existing computational methods for life cycle costing (LCC) are few and appeared inconsistent with the very definition of LCC. This article improves the common matrix-based approach in life cycle assessment as applied to LCC, correcting previous errors. Re ...
In this paper, we study the problem of approximately computing the product of two real matrices. In particular, we analyze a dimensionality-reduction-based approximation algorithm due to Sarlos [1], introducing the notion of nuclear rank as the ratio of th ...
Many applications in computational science require computing the elements of a function of a large matrix. A commonly used approach is based on the the evaluation of the eigenvalue decomposition, a task that, in general, involves a computing time that scal ...
A waveguide for transmitting signals at terahertz (THz) frequencies, wherein said waveguide comprises at least a matrix and an insert piece having a waveguide channel, wherein said piece is inserted in said matrix. ...
This contribution is a summary of four lectures delivered by the first author at the CIME Summer school in June 2011 at Cetraro (Italy). Preparation of those lectures was greatly aided by the other authors of these lecture notes. Our goal is to present som ...
In this paper, we extend the generalized approximate message passing (G-AMP) approach, originally proposed for high-dimensional generalized-linear regression in the context of compressive sensing, to the generalized-bilinear case, which enables its applica ...

Stochastic models that describe interacting processes, such as stochastic automata networks, feature a dimensionality that grows exponentially with the number of processes. This state space explosion severely impairs the use of standard methods for the num ...
