Structured Matrix Computations: Recent Advances and Future work


Abstract:

Fast algorithms for strucutred matrices, such as the Toeplitz matrices and Cauchy matrices, have a long and rich history. Recent advances have made many of such algorithms both fast and numerically stable. In addition, strucutred matrix techniques have been successfully used to solve new classes of problems that are not structured in the classical sense.

In this talk, we review some recent advances in structured matrix computations and discuss interesting open questions in the field.
