Department of Computional Methods

Topics of research

The department research is focused mainly on matrix computations and on problems of numerical linear algebra. The techniques and expertise include the development, analysis, and implementation of iterative methods for solving systems of linear algebraic equations and least squares problems. In particular, the members of the department focuse on the following topics:

 

  • Theory and analysis of Krylov subspace methods
  • Numerical stability of algorithms and their behavior in finite precision arithmetic
  • Preconditioning techniques
  • Implementation on parallel computer systems
  • Theory and analysis of Krylov subspace methods
  • Solving saddle point problems
  • Ill-posed problems and regularization techniques, noise detection

Projects

The main research projects are presented on stand-alone webpages. There one can find publications, presentations, applications, and activities related to the project. Here we presents three main projects in the last ten years, demonstrating continuity of research.
