Synopsis:

The course is aimed at utilization of sparse matrices in direct methods for solution of large systems of linear algebraic equations. The course will cover the decomposition theory for symmetric and positive definite matrices. Theoretic results will be further applied for solution of more general systems. Main features of the methods and common implementation issues will be covered.

Requirements:

Basic course of Calculus, Linear Algebra, Numerical Methods and Numerical Linear Algebra (in the extent of the courses 01MA1, 01MAA2-4, 01LA1, 01LAA2, 01NM, 01PNLA held at the FNSPE CTU in Prague).

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Sparse matrices and their representation in a computer.

2. Algorithm of the Choleski decomposition for a symmetric and positive definite matrix.

3. Description of structure of sparse matrices and creation of fill-in during the Choleski decomposition.

4. Influence of the matrix ordering, algorithms RCM, minimum degree, nested dissection, frontal method.

5. More general systems.

6. Iterative methods and preconditioning, analysis of the stationary methods, regular decompositions.

7. Examples of simple preconditioning, preconditioning of the conjugate gradient method.

8. Incomplete LU decomposition (ILU), color ordering.

9. Multigrid methods - analysis of the Richards iteration on a model example.

10. Multigrid methods - nested iterations, methods on 2 meshes, V-cycle, W-cycle, Full Multigrid method.

11. Demonstration of selected methods on computers.
