Synopsis:

The course covers advanced topics of linear algebra, in particular matrix factorizations and construction of matrix functions.

Requirements:

Good knowledge of fundamental topics of linear algebra and single-variable analysis is a prerequisity. Some of the course topics need implemenation of multivariable analysis concepts (normed spaces, power series). It is thus recommended to complete a multivariable analysis course (MA2) before registering for this course.

Syllabus of lectures:

Main topics:

1. Review of the basics of linear algebra, norms, matrix norms

2. Scalar products, projections and orthogonal projections, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process, least squares method, QR-decomposition

3. Unitary and orthogonal matrices, Householder method

4. Eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and eigensubspaces, Gershgorin circles, diagonalization

5. Schur decomposition, spectral decomposition of diagonalizable matrices, normal and Hermitian matrices, unitary diagonalization

6. Positively definite and semidefinite matrices, singular decomposition, Cholesky decomposition

7. Matrix index, nilpotent matrix, CND decomposition

8. Jordan canonical form of a matrix, spectral projection

9. Construction of a matrix function using power series and spectral decomposition theorem

10. Representation of a matrix function using the Hermite interpolation polynomial, Vandermonde system

11. Matrix exponential, solution of systems of linear ODEs with constant coefficients

Possible extensions:

LU factorization, numerical stability of GEM
