AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture

Two of My Favorite Problems

Monday, July 11, 2022, 2:45 PM – 3:30 PM

I will discuss two problems on which I have worked extensively and the many remaining open questions. The first involves understanding the behavior of the Lanczos algorithm when the 3-term recurrence is perturbed slightly. With use of different precisions and other forms of inexactness, it is important to know what will and will not work. The second has to do with nonsymmetric matrices and operators. I will discuss spectral sets and their applications in numerical analysis.
