    The energy $\mathcal{E}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the sum of the absolute values of all the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Gutman (2001) proposed a problem of characterizing the graph $G$ and the edge $e$ of $G$ such that $\mathcal{E}(G-e) \le \mathcal{E}(G)$. Later, Day and So (2008) gave a sufficient condition : $e$ is a cut-edge of $G$.Recently, Tang et al. (2023) gave another...

    A matrix algorithm is said to be superfast (aka runs at sublinear cost) if it involves much fewer scalars and flops than an input matrix has entries. Such algorithms have been extensively studied and widely applied in modern computations for matrices with low displacement rank and more recently for low rank approximation of matrices, even though any superfast algorithm fails on worst case...

    Abstract: In this paper, we investigate when the disjoint union of complete graphs $K_a \cup K_b$ is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum (Q-DS). We first prove that $K_a \cup K_b$ is Q-DS among disconnected graphs. We then show that no connected signless Laplacian co-spectral mate of $K_a \cup K_b$ exists on at most ten vertices. Further, we establish that $K_t \cup K_a$ is Q-DS for...

    Low Rank Approximation (LRA) of a matrix are invaluable for Numerical Linear Algebra and Data Science. Some recent papers propose superfast algorithms that output LRAs with near-optimal accuracy for a large class of inputs but, as ANY superfast LRA algorithm, fail on a large class of inputs as well. To narrow the latter class we first superfast compute a crude initial LRA by applying one of...

    This 20-minute contributed talk focuses on two properties introduced in recent work on matrix manifolds: the Row Equivalence Transversality Property (RETP) and the Column Equivalence Transversality Property (CETP).
    For an $ m \times n $ real matrix $ A $, RETP holds if the manifolds $ \{GA : G \in \mathrm{GL}(m, \mathbb{R})\} $ and $ Q(\mathrm{sgn}(A)) $ intersect transversally at $ ...

    In this talk, we consider the theoretical convergence of flexible GMRES. While convergence of standard GMRES is well studied, there exist few results of similar nature for flexible GMRES. The aim of this talk is to discuss and fill in this gap. In addition, we report on experiences of using these ideas in the context of randomized sketching.

    Given a symmetric tridiagonal matrix, it has been well--established, that in exact arithmetic, applying some of its eigenvalues as shifts via the $QR$ strategy produces a particular structured matrix where the leading tridiagonal block contains the non--shifted eigenvalues and a trailing diagonal submatrix of the shifted eigenvalues. We will show that the leading tridiagonal block can be...

    I discuss solving large-scale symmetric and positive definite eigenproblems in distributed computing environments where communication between tasks is expensive, such as a cluster of networked workstations running the HTCondor batch system. As a model problem, I consider computing a few smallest eigenvalues of several eigenproblems related to FE-discretization of elliptic PDEs. The matrices...

    We study eigenvalue inclusion regions first defined by Householder and explore applications to large, sparse matrices. We also study pseudospectra and relative pseudospectra, which are similarly defined eigenvalue inclusion regions. Then we explore connections between these sets.

    The nearest correlation matrix problem consists in finding the closest valid correlation matrix to a given symmetric matrix that may fail to be positive semi-definite. In other words, given a symmetric unit-diagonal matrix that is not a proper correlation matrix, one seeks the nearest positive semi-definite matrix with unit diagonal entries.

    We address the problem of finding the nearest...

    We investigate the structural properties of the solution set of absolute value equations (AVE) of the form $Ax - |x| = b$. Extending the seminal work of Hladรญk (SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 2023), we address his open questions originally posed for $Ax + |x| = b$ and establish analogous results for the alternative form considered here. Using the equivalence between AVE and the linear...

    The underlying graph $G$ of a symmetric matrix $M=(m_{ij})\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is the graph with vertex set $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ such that a pair $\{v_i,v_j\}$ with $i\neq j$ is an edge if and only if $m_{ij}\neq 0$. For a graph $G$, let $q(G)$ denote the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues among all symmetric matrices whose underlying graph is $G$. A symmetric matrix $M$ is a...

    The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, widely used in medical image tomographic reconstruction, iteratively estimates the values of a discrete distribution of emission sources $\rho_{t=1,2,..,T}$ from a set of detector measurements $A_{k=1,2,..,K}$. The two steps of an iteration are:
    $A_k^{(n)} = \sum_{t} P_{k \leftarrow t} \cdot \rho_t^{(n)}$ (E) and $\rho_t^{(n+1)} = \rho_t^{(n)}...

    Polynomial factorization is classically studied within commutative polynomial rings, where irreducibility is an intrinsic algebraic property. In this talk, we present a linear-algebraic approach to factorization via entangled polynomial rings, in which polynomials are represented by structured matrices and analyzed using tools from matrix theory.

    In this work, we study pretty good state transfer (PGST) in Grover walks on graphs. We consider the transfer of quantum states localized at the vertices of a graph and use Chebyshev polynomials to analyze PGST between such states. In general, we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of PGST on graphs. We then focus our analysis on abelian Cayley graphs and derive a...

    In the talk, I will go through our recent work regarding the Smith form of the Sylvester and Bรฉzout resultant matrices. The partial multiplicities associated to the eigenvalue of a polynomial matrix tell us about the conditioning of computing the eigenvalue. Since the eigenvalues of the resultant matrices are the roots of the system, the partial multiplicities are connected to the stability of...

    Over the last two decades, a number of methods for constructing linearizations of matrix polynomials have been developed, including ansatz spaces, Fiedler pencils, and block minimal basis pencils. These methods have also been extended in various ways to apply to matrix polynomials expressed in non-monomial bases. However, these extensions have often been achieved one basis at a time, without...

    We consider the problem of computing matrix polynomials $p(X)$, where $X$ is a large dense matrix, using as few matrix-matrix multiplications as possible. Our approach to this problem involves studying the set $\Pi^*_{2^m}$, defined as the set of polynomials computable with at most $m$ matrix-matrix multiplications, but with an arbitrary number of matrix additions and scaling operations. This...

    Randomized algorithms in numerical linear algebra have proven to be effective in ameliorating issues of scalability when working with large matrices, efficiently producing accurate low-rank approximations. A key remaining challenge, however, is to efficiently assess the approximation accuracy of randomized methods without additional expensive matrix accesses.

    It is well known that, when defining Householder transformations, the correct choice of sign in the standard formula is important to avoid cancellation and hence numerical instability. In this talk we point out that when the "wrong" choice of sign is used, the extent of the resulting instability depends in a somewhat subtle way on the data leading to cancellation.

In this article, we propose a novel superfast direct inversion method for type-III NUDFT. The proposed method approximates the type-III NUDFT matrix as a product of a type-II NUDFT matrix and an HSS matrix, where the type-II NUDFT matrix is further decomposed into the...

    Periodic CMV matrices are unitary matrices that can be specified by $O(n)$ data. Their eigenvalues can be computed by standard methods, storing them as conventional matrices (using $O(n^{2})$ data) in $O(n^{3})$ time. Since periodic CMV matrices can be specified by $O(n)$ data, one would hope to find a method that computes the eigenvalues in $O(n^{2})$ time instead of $O(n^3)$. This is indeed...

    Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a data-driven tool for capturing complex nonlinear dynamics. It can be used to identify, analyze and forecast dynamical systems $x_{k+1}=F(x_k)$ governed by an unknown or complex mapping $F$ using only observed snapshots $s_1,s_2,...,s_{n+1}$.
