- Course objectives
- NONLINEAR EQUATIONS
We will continue the topic presented by Prof. Horova and discuss the sensitivity of roots of polynomials, the convergence rates of iterative methods and the derivation of third order methods. We will illustrate the theory with examples and demonstrations using Maple and Matlab. If time permits we will also show how to solve a system of nonlinear equations.
SINGULAR VALUE DECOMPOSITION
The singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix has become the "Swiss Army Knife" of computational linear algebra. This is the merit of G. Golub and Chr. Reinsch who developed the robust algorithm used today in every software library. We will discuss the Golub-Reinsch algorithm and show several applications of the SVD. - Syllabus
