The aim is also to deliver basic concepts in the theory of Numerical Linear Algebra, which is essential for the efficient solution of Linear Systems and, in particular, for taking profit advantage of current and increasingly parallel capabilities of computers for solving large-scale optimization problems.
Vector norms, Matrix norms, orthogonality and the Singular Value Decomposition, Sensitivity of Square Linear Systems, Conditioning of Linear Systems, Direct Methods for Linear Systems: Back substitution, Gauss elimination, LU and Cholesky factorisation. Orthogonalization and Least Squares: QR Factorization. Iterative (Indirect) Methods for Linear Systems: Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, Conjugate Gradients, Eigenvalues: Definition and Basic properties, Hessenberg form, Power Methods, QR algorithm.
