### Re-using LU factorization within iterative (?) setup for a sum of two matrices

So, I would love to make at least some use of my preexisting data, no matter how small, and just out of ideas. Maybe I am just a prisoner of a Kahneman-like theatre-ticket paradox, and don't know ...

### Efficient approach for solving matrix plus diagonal matrix system that varies in time

When solving a system of ODEs, as part of a preconditioner, I get the system $(A + D(t))x = b(t)$ where $A$ is a sparse matrix and $D(t)$ is diagonal. I'm currently solving this by taking the LU-...

### Ways to solve $Ax=b$ for a sparse (banded) $A$ with updates

I want to solve the time-dependent Schrodinger Equation using the Crank-Nicolson scheme. I end up with the following matrix equation ...
Ridge regression can be posed as minimizing the following objective function (over $x$): $$\frac{1}{2} \lVert Ax - b \lVert_2^2 ~+ \frac{\lambda}{2} \lVert x \lVert_2^2$$ Which has a closed form ...
