### How does the performance of Python/Numpy array operations scale with increasing array dimensions?

How do Python/Numpy arrays scale with increasing array dimensions? This is based on some behaviour I noticed while benchmarking Python code for this question: How to express this complicated ...

### Difficulty with Spectral Method using Chebyshev Polynomials

I am having a bit of difficulty in trying to understand a paper. The paper uses spectral method to solve for an eigenvalue that comes from a system of coupled ODEs. I will write out only one equation ...

### Algorithms for a many-to-many generalized assignment problem

I can't seem to find any literature on algorithms which can be used to solve a many-to-many generalized assignment problem (GAP), i.e. models where not only can more tasks be assigned to one agent, ...

### Python OSS alternatives for Matlab Neural Network Toolbox. Any intercomparisons?

I'd like to be independent of commercial software for my scientific work. I find a dependence an commercial packages such as Matlab and its toolboxes unsatisfactory, because I do not know if I will ...

### Are there any open source inverse-based multilevel ILU implementations?

I am very impressed with the serial performance of multilevel inverse-based ILU preconditioners, particularly for heterogeneous Helmholtz, but I am surprised to not be able to find any open source ...

### Is there a tool out there that can generate interval extensions of Fortran (or C) functions by parsing Fortran (or C) code?

Case studies in my PhD thesis require that I have interval extensions of Fortran subroutines in CHEMKIN-II (apologies for the link; it's the best one I could find for a package no longer distributed ...

### Diagonal update of a symmetric positive definite matrix

$A$ is a $n \times n$ symmetric positive definite (SPD) sparse matrix. $G$ is a sparse diagonal matrix. $n$ is large ($n$ >10000) and the number of nonzeros in the $G$ is usually 100 ~ 1000. $A$ has ...

### Solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems on GPU

I am trying to solve some unconstrained nonlinear optimzation problems on GPU(CUDA). The objective function is a smooth nonlinear function, and its gradient is relatively cheap to compute ...

### Implementation of Jacobi-Davidson method for cubic eigenvalue problem

I have a large cubic eigenvalue problem: $$\left(\mathbf{A}_0 + \lambda\mathbf{A}_1 + \lambda^2\mathbf{A}_2 + \lambda^3\mathbf{A}_3\right)\mathbf{x} = 0.$$ I could solve this by converting to a ...

### Specialized methods for symmetric tridiagonal generalized eigenvalue problems

I have to solve generalized eigenvalue problems $Ax = \lambda Bx$ where $A$ and $B$ are both tridiagonal, $B$ is symmetric positive definite and real, but $A$ is only complex symmetric (not definite ...

### Comparing Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods for nonlinear iterations

It is well known that for certain linear systems Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iterative methods have the same convergence behavior, e.g. Stein-Rosenberg Theorem. I am wondering if similar results exist for ...
