A Complete Resolution of Forsythe's Conjecture for Restarted Conjugate Gradients

Matthew J. Colbrook, George Stepaniants, Alex Townsend

Forsythe's conjecture, published in 1968, asserts that for each restart length , every exact-arithmetic restarted conjugate-gradient iteration on a real symmetric positive defin…

A Proof of the Forsythe Conjecture for the Two-Step Restarted Conjugate Gradient Method

Matthew J. Colbrook, George Stepaniants, Alex Townsend

Forsythe conjectured in 1968 that the normalized residual directions of restarted conjugate gradients approach a two-cycle. We prove the conjecture for restart length two: unless t…

A zero-one law for one-shot system identification

Nicolas Boullé, Diana Halikias, Samuel E. Otto +1

Can a model be identified from one experiment? We study analytic systems that are linearly parameterized by a combination of prescribed dictionary terms, such as partial differenti…

Beyond expectations: Residual Dynamic Mode Decomposition and Variance for Stochastic Dynamical Systems

Matthew J. Colbrook, Qin Li, Ryan V. Raut +1

Koopman operators linearize nonlinear dynamical systems, making their spectral information of crucial interest. Numerous algorithms have been developed to approximate these spectra…

Avoiding discretization issues for nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Matthew J. Colbrook, Alex Townsend

The first step when solving an infinite-dimensional eigenvalue problem is often to discretize it. We show that one must be extremely careful when discretizing nonlinear eigenvalue…

Leveraging the Hankel norm approximation and block-AAA algorithms in reduced order modeling

Annan Yu, Alex Townsend

Large-scale linear, time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems are widely used to characterize complicated physical phenomena. We propose a two-stage algorithm to reduce the order of a…
