However, it may not be stable, especially for smaller singular values because of the squaring of the condition number I For SVD of A, jσ~k − σk j = O(machinekAk), where σ~k and σk denote the computed and exact kth singular value ∗ I If computed from eigenvalue decomposition of A A, 2 jσ~k − σk j = O(machinekAk /σk ), which is problematic if σk kAk If one is interested in only relatively large singular values, then computing eigenvalues of A∗A is not a problem. For general situations, a more stable algorithm is desired. Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 3 / 34 A Different Reduction to Eigenvalue Problem Typical algorithm for computing SVD are similar to computation of eigenvalues 0 A∗ Consider A 2 m×n, then Hermitian matrix H = has C A 0 eigenvalue decomposition VV VV Σ 0 H = ; U −U U −U 0 −Σ where A = UΣV ∗ gives the SVD. This approach is stable. In practice, such a reduction is done implicitly without forming the large matrix Typically done in two phases Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 4 / 34 Two-Phase Method In the first phase, reduce to bidiagonal form by applying different orthogonal transformations on left and right, which involves O(mn2) operations In the second phase, reduce to diagonal form using a variant of QR algorithm or

Boundary value problems and implicit methods for time-dependent PDEs yield systems of linear algebraic equations to solve A matrix is sparse if it has relatively few nonzeros in its entries Sparsity can be exploited to use far less than O(n2) storage and O(n3) work required in standard approach to solving system with dense matrix, assuming matrix is n × n Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 11 / 34 Storage Format of Sparse Matrices Sparse-matrices are typically stored in special formats that store only nonzero entries, along with indices to identify their locations in matrix, such as I compressed-row storage (CRS) I compressed-column storage (CCS) I block compressed row storage (BCRS) Banded matrices have their own special storage formats (such as Compressed Diagonal Storage (CDS)) See survey at http://netlib.org/linalg/html_templates/node90.html Explicitly storing indices incurs additional storage overhead and makes arithmetic operations on nonzeros less efficient due to indirect addressing to access operands, so they are beneficial only for very sparse matrices Storage format can have big impact the effectiveness of different versions of same algorithm (with different ordering of loops) Besides direct methods, these storage formats are also important in implementing iterative and multigrid solvers Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 12 / 34 Example of

Overview of Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 14 / 34 Banded Linear Systems Cost of factorizing banded linear system depends on bandwidth I For SPD n × n matrix with semi-bandwidth s, total flop count of Cholesky factorization is about ns2 I For n × n matrix with lower bandwidth p and upper bandwidth q, F In A = LU (LU without pivoting), total flop count is about 2npq F In PA = LU (LU with column pivoting), total flop count is about 2np(p + q) Banded matrices have their own special storage formats (such as Compressed Diagonal Storage (CDS)) Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 15 / 34 Fill When applying LU or Cholesky factorization to general sparse matrix, taking linear combinations of rows or columns to annihilate unwanted nonzero entries can introduce new nonzeros into matrix locations that were initially zero Such new nonzeros, called fill or fill-in, must be stored and may themselves eventually need to be annihilated in order to obtain triangular factors Resulting triangular factors can be expected to contain at least as many nonzeros as original matrix and usually significant fill as well Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 16 / 34 Sparse Cholesky Factorization In general, some heuristic algorithms are employed to reorder the matrix to reduce fills Amount of fill is sensitive to order in which rows and columns of matrix are processed, so basic problem in sparse factorization is reordering matrix to limit fill during factorization Exact minimization of fill is hard combinatorial problem (NP-complete), but heuristic algorithms such as minimum degree and nested dissection limit fill well for many types of problems For Cholesky factorization, both rows and columns are reordered Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 17 / 34 Graph Model of Elimination Each step of factorization process corresponds to elimination of one node from graph Eliminating node causes its neighboring nodes to become connected to each other If any such neighbors were not already connected, then fill results (new edges in graph and new nonzeros in matrix) Commonly used reordering methods include Cuthill-McKee, approximate minimum degree ordering (AMD) and nested dissection Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 18 / 34 Reordering to Reduce Bandwidth The Cuthill-McKee algorithm and reverse Cuthill-McKee algorithm I The Cuthill-McKee algorithm is a variant of the breadth-first search algorithm on graphs. F Starts with a peripheral node F Generates levels Ri for i = 1; 2;::: until all nodes are exhausted F The set Ri+1 is created from set Ri by listing all vertices adjacent to all nodes in Ri F Within each level, nodes are listed in increasing degree I The reverse Cuthill–McKee algorithm (RCM) reserves the resulting index numbers Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 19 / 34 Approximate Minimum Degree Ordering Good heuristic for limiting fill is to eliminate first those nodes having fewest neighbors Number of neighbors is called degree of node, so heuristic is known as minimum degree At each step, select node of smallest degree for elimination, breaking ties arbitrarily After node has been eliminated, its neighbors become connected to each other, so degrees of some nodes may change Process is then repeated, with new node of minimum degree eliminated next, and so on until all nodes have been eliminated Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 20 / 34 Minimum Degree Ordering, continued Cholesky factor suffers much less fill than with original ordering, and advantage grows with problem size Sophisticated versions of minimum degree are among most effective general-purpose orderings known Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 21 / 34 Comparison of Different Orderings of Example Matrix Left: Nonzero pattern of matrix A. Right: Nonzero pattern of matrix R. Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 22 / 34 Nested Dissection Ordering Nested dissection is based on divide-and-conquer First, small set of nodes is selected whose removal splits graph into two pieces of roughly equal size No node in either piece is connected to any node in other, so no fill occurs in either piece due to elimination of any node in the other Separator nodes are numbered last, then process is repeated recursively on each remaining piece of graph until all nodes have been numbered Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 23 / 34 Nested Dissection Ordering Continued Dissection induces blocks of zeros in matrix that are automatically preserved during factorization Recursive nature of algorithm can be seen in hierarchical block structure of matrix, which would involve many more levels in larger problems Again, Cholesky factor suffers much less fill than with original ordering, and advantage grows with problem size Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 24 / 34 Sparse Gaussian Elimination For Gaussian elimination, only columns are reordered Pivoting introduces additional fills in sparse Gaussian elimination Reordering may be done dynamically or statically The reverse Cuthill-McKee algorithm applied to A + AT may be used to reduce bandwidth Column approximate minimum-degree, may be employed to reorder matrix to reduce fills Xiangmin Jiao Numerical Analysis I 25 / 34 Comparison of Different Orderings of Example Matrix Nonzero pattern of A and L + U with random ordering.

  • Chapter 7 Iterative Methods for Large Sparse Linear Systems
    Chapter 7 Iterative methods for large sparse linear systems In this chapter we revisit the problem of solving linear systems of equations, but now in the context of large sparse systems. The price to pay for the direct methods based on matrix factorization is that the factors of a sparse matrix may not be sparse, so that for large sparse systems the memory cost make direct methods too expensive, in memory and in execution time. Instead we introduce iterative methods, for which matrix sparsity is exploited to develop fast algorithms with a low memory footprint. 7.1 Sparse matrix algebra Large sparse matrices We say that the matrix A Rn is large if n is large, and that A is sparse if most of the elements are2 zero. If a matrix is not sparse, we say that the matrix is dense. Whereas for a dense matrix the number of nonzero elements is (n2), for a sparse matrix it is only (n), which has obvious implicationsO for the memory footprint and efficiencyO for algorithms that exploit the sparsity of a matrix.

APPL. c 2007 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 29, No. 3, pp. 826–837 ∗ PARALLEL BIDIAGONALIZATION OF A DENSE MATRIX † ‡ ‡ § CARLOS CAMPOS , DAVID GUERRERO , VICENTE HERNANDEZ´ , AND RUI RALHA Abstract. A new stable method for the reduction of rectangular dense matrices to bidiagonal form has been proposed recently. This is a one-sided method since it can be entirely expressed in terms of operations with (full) columns of the matrix under transformation. The algorithm is well suited to parallel computing and, in order to make it even more attractive for distributed memory systems, we introduce a modification which halves the number of communication instances. In this paper we present such a modification. A block organization of the algorithm to use level 3 BLAS routines seems difficult and, at least for the moment, it relies upon level 2 BLAS routines. Nevertheless, we found that our sequential code is competitive with the LAPACK DGEBRD routine. We also compare the time taken by our parallel codes and the ScaLAPACK PDGEBRD routine. We investigated the best data distribution schemes for the different codes and we can state that our parallel codes are also competitive with the ScaLAPACK routine. Key words. bidiagonal reduction, parallel algorithms AMS subject classifications. 15A18, 65F30, 68W10 DOI. 10.1137/05062809X 1. Introduction. The problem of computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix is one of the most important operations in numerical linear algebra and is employed in a variety of applications. The SVD is defined as follows. × For any rectangular matrix A ∈ Rm n (we will assume that m ≥ n), there exist ∈ Rm×m ∈ Rn×n ΣA ∈ Rm×n two orthogonal matrices U and V and a matrix Σ = 0 , t where ΣA = diag (σ1,...,σn) is a diagonal matrix, such that A = UΣV .

  • Trigonometric Transform Splitting Methods for Real Symmetric Toeplitz Systems

In this paper we study efficient iterative methods for real symmetric Toeplitz systems based on the trigonometric transformation splitting (TTS) of the real symmetric Toeplitz matrix A. Theoretical analyses show that if the generating function f of the n × n Toeplitz matrix A is a real positive even function, then the TTS iterative methods converge to the unique solution of the linear system of equations for sufficient large n. Moreover, we derive an upper bound of the contraction factor of the TTS iteration which is dependent solely on the spectra of the two TTS matrices involved. Different from the CSCS iterative method in [19] in which all operations counts concern complex op- erations when the DFTs are employed, even if the Toeplitz matrix A is real and symmetric, our method only involves real arithmetics when the DCTs and DSTs are used. The numerical experiments show that our method works better than CSCS iterative method and much better than the positive definite and skew- symmetric splitting (PSS) iterative method in [3] and the symmetric Gauss-Seidel (SGS) iterative method.

  • Numerical Linear Algebra
    Numerical Linear Algebra Comparison of Several Numerical Methods used to solve Poisson’s Equation Christiana Mavroyiakoumou University of Oxford A case study report submitted for the degree of M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing Hilary 2017 1 Introduction In this report, we apply the finite difference scheme to the Poisson equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. This yields a system of linear equations with a large sparse system matrix that is a classical test problem for comparing direct and iterative linear solvers. The solution of sparse linear systems by iterative methods has become one of the core applications and research areas of scientific computing. The size of systems that are solved routinely has increased tremendously over time. This is because the discretisation of partial differential equations can lead to systems that are arbitrarily large. We introduce the reader to the general theory of regular splitting methods and present some of the classical methods such as Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, Relaxed Jacobi, SOR and SSOR. Iterative methods yield the solution U of a linear system after an infinite number of steps. At each step, iterative methods require the computation of the residual of the system. In this report, we use iterative solution methods in order to solve n n n AU “ f;A P R ˆ ; f P R : (1.1) Linear systems can be solved by fixed point iteration. To do so, one must transform the system of linear equations into a fixed point form and this is in general achieved by splitting the matrix A into two parts, A “ M ´ N.
