Special Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (17W2668)
Special Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (17w2668) Hadi Kharaghani (University of Lethbridge), Shaun Fallat (University of Regina), Pauline van den Driessche (University of Victoria) July 7, 2017 – July 9, 2017 1 History of this Conference Series The Western Canada Linear Algebra meeting, or WCLAM, is a regular series of meetings held roughly once every 2 years since 1993. Professor Peter Lancaster from the University of Calgary initiated the conference series and has been involved as a mentor, an organizer, a speaker and participant in all of the ten or more WCLAM meetings. Two broad goals of the WCLAM series are a) to keep the community abreast of current research in this discipline, and b) to bring together well-established and early-career researchers to talk about their work in a relaxed academic setting. This particular conference brought together researchers working in a wide-range of mathematical fields including matrix analysis, combinatorial matrix theory, applied and numerical linear algebra, combinatorics, operator theory and operator algebras. It attracted participants from most of the PIMS Universities, as well as Ontario, Quebec, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Virginia, Iran, Japan, the Netherlands and Spain. The highlight of this meeting was the recognition of the outstanding and numerous contributions to the areas of research of Professor Peter Lancaster. Peter’s work in mathematics is legendary and in addition his footprint on mathematics in Canada is very significant. 2 Presentation Highlights The conference began with a presentation from Prof. Chi-Kwong Li surveying the numerical range and connections to dilation. During this lecture the following conjecture was stated: If A 2 M3 has no reducing eigenvalues, then there is a T 2 B(H) such that the numerical range of T is contained in that of A, and T has no dilation of the form I ⊗ A. -

Simulating Quantum Field Theory with a Quantum Computer
Simulating quantum field theory with a quantum computer John Preskill Lattice 2018 28 July 2018 This talk has two parts (1) Near-term prospects for quantum computing. (2) Opportunities in quantum simulation of quantum field theory. Exascale digital computers will advance our knowledge of QCD, but some challenges will remain, especially concerning real-time evolution and properties of nuclear matter and quark-gluon plasma at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. Digital computers may never be able to address these (and other) problems; quantum computers will solve them eventually, though I’m not sure when. The physics payoff may still be far away, but today’s research can hasten the arrival of a new era in which quantum simulation fuels progress in fundamental physics.

Overview of Iterative Linear System Solver Packages
Overview of Iterative Linear System Solver Packages Victor Eijkhout July, 1998 Abstract Description and comparison of several packages for the iterative solu- tion of linear systems of equations. 1 1 Intro duction There are several freely available packages for the iterative solution of linear systems of equations, typically derived from partial di erential equation prob- lems. In this rep ort I will give a brief description of a numberofpackages, and giveaninventory of their features and de ning characteristics. The most imp ortant features of the packages are which iterative metho ds and preconditioners supply; the most relevant de ning characteristics are the interface they present to the user's data structures, and their implementation language. 2 2 Discussion Iterative metho ds are sub ject to several design decisions that a ect ease of use of the software and the resulting p erformance. In this section I will give a global discussion of the issues involved, and how certain p oints are addressed in the packages under review. 2.1 Preconditioners A go o d preconditioner is necessary for the convergence of iterative metho ds as the problem to b e solved b ecomes more dicult. Go o d preconditioners are hard to design, and this esp ecially holds true in the case of parallel pro cessing. Here is a short inventory of the various kinds of preconditioners found in the packages reviewed. 2.1.1 Ab out incomplete factorisation preconditioners Incomplete factorisations are among the most successful preconditioners devel- op ed for single-pro cessor computers. Unfortunately, since they are implicit in nature, they cannot immediately b e used on parallel architectures. -
Introduction to Computational Social Choice
1 Introduction to Computational Social Choice Felix Brandta, Vincent Conitzerb, Ulle Endrissc, J´er^omeLangd, and Ariel D. Procacciae 1.1 Computational Social Choice at a Glance Social choice theory is the field of scientific inquiry that studies the aggregation of individual preferences towards a collective choice. For example, social choice theorists|who hail from a range of different disciplines, including mathematics, economics, and political science|are interested in the design and theoretical evalu- ation of voting rules. Questions of social choice have stimulated intellectual thought for centuries. Over time the topic has fascinated many a great mind, from the Mar- quis de Condorcet and Pierre-Simon de Laplace, through Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland), to Nobel Laureates such as Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, and Lloyd Shapley. Computational social choice (COMSOC), by comparison, is a very young field that formed only in the early 2000s. There were, however, a few precursors. For instance, David Gale and Lloyd Shapley's algorithm for finding stable matchings between two groups of people with preferences over each other, dating back to 1962, truly had a computational flavor. And in the late 1980s, a series of papers by John Bartholdi, Craig Tovey, and Michael Trick showed that, on the one hand, computational complexity, as studied in theoretical computer science, can serve as a barrier against strategic manipulation in elections, but on the other hand, it can also prevent the efficient use of some voting rules altogether. Around the same time, a research group around Bernard Monjardet and Olivier Hudry also started to study the computational complexity of preference aggregation procedures. -
Hybrid Algorithms for Efficient Cholesky Decomposition And
Hybrid Algorithms for Efficient Cholesky Decomposition and Matrix Inverse using Multicore CPUs with GPU Accelerators Gary Macindoe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of UCL. 2013 ii I, Gary Macindoe, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature : Abstract The use of linear algebra routines is fundamental to many areas of computational science, yet their implementation in software still forms the main computational bottleneck in many widely used algorithms. In machine learning and computational statistics, for example, the use of Gaussian distributions is ubiquitous, and routines for calculating the Cholesky decomposition, matrix inverse and matrix determinant must often be called many thousands of times for com- mon algorithms, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo. These linear algebra routines consume most of the total computational time of a wide range of statistical methods, and any improve- ments in this area will therefore greatly increase the overall efficiency of algorithms used in many scientific application areas. The importance of linear algebra algorithms is clear from the substantial effort that has been invested over the last 25 years in producing low-level software libraries such as LAPACK, which generally optimise these linear algebra routines by breaking up a large problem into smaller problems that may be computed independently. The performance of such libraries is however strongly dependent on the specific hardware available. LAPACK was originally de- veloped for single core processors with a memory hierarchy, whereas modern day computers often consist of mixed architectures, with large numbers of parallel cores and graphics process- ing units (GPU) being used alongside traditional CPUs. -
Jacobi-Davidson, Gauss-Seidel and Successive Over-Relaxation For
Applied Mathematics and Computational Intelligence Volume 6, 2017 [41-52] Jacobi‐Davidson, Gauss‐Seidel and Successive Over‐Relaxation for Solving Systems of Linear Equations Fatini Dalili Mohammed1,a and Mohd Rivaieb 1Department of Computer Sciences and Mathematics, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Terengganu, Campus Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia ABSTRACT Linear systems are applied in many applications such as calculating variables, rates, budgets, making a prediction and others. Generally, there are two techniques of solving system of linear equation including direct methods and iterative methods. Some basic solution methods known as direct methods are ineffective in solving many equations in large systems due to slower computation. Due to inability of direct methods, iterative methods are practical to be used in large systems of linear equations as they do not need much storage. In this project, three indirect methods are used to solve large system of linear equations. The methods are Jacobi Davidson, Gauss‐Seidel and Successive Over‐ Relaxation (SOR) which are well known in the field of numerical analysis. The comparative results analysis of the three methods is considered. These three methods are compared based on number of iterations, CPU time and error. The numerical results show that Gauss‐Seidel method and SOR method with ω=1.25 are more efficient than others. This research allows researcher to appreciate the use of iterative techniques for solving systems of linear equations that is widely used in industrial applications. Keywords: system of linear equation, iterative method, Jacobi‐Davidson, Gauss‐Seidel, Successive Over‐Relaxation 1. INTRODUCTION Linear systems are important in our real life. They are applied in various applications such as in calculating variables, rates, budgets, making a prediction and others. -
