Vector spaces of linearizations for matrix polynomials: a bivariate polynomial approach

Yuji Nakatsukasa, Vanni Noferini, Alex Townsend

We revisit the landmark paper [D. S. Mackey, N. Mackey, C. Mehl, and V. Mehrmann, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 28 (2006), pp.~971--1004] and, by viewing matrices as coefficients for…

On the singular values of matrices with displacement structure

Bernhard Beckermann, Alex Townsend

Matrices with displacement structure such as Pick, Vandermonde, and Hankel matrices appear in a diverse range of applications. In this paper, we use an extremal problem involving r…

Gaussian elimination corrects pivoting mistakes

Alex Townsend

Gaussian elimination (GE) is the archetypal direct algorithm for solving linear systems of equations and this has been its primary application for thousands of years. In the last d…
