Numerical analysis, pivoting and incomplete LU decomposition
When doing LU decomposition, the algorithm will break down if any of the diagonal element $x_{ii}$ is zero. Therefore, we can use pivoting on the matrix such that $x_{ii}$ is no longer zero. That is ...

Numerically find the nearest positive semi definite matrix to a symmetric matrix
I have a symmetric matrix $M$ which I want to numerically project onto the positive semi definite cone.
To do so, I decompose it into $M = QDQ^T$ and transform all negative eigenvalues to zero. (...

Term for the typical “linear in the larger dimension, quadratic in the smaller” cost for linear algebra
Many dense linear algebra decompositions (QR, SVD...) on an $m\times n$ matrix have cost
$$
O(\max(m,n)\min(m,n)^2)
$$
when implemented in practice on a computer. Is there a colloquial name or a more ...

Stable Method of orthogonal projection onto a subspace with the help of Moore-Penrose inverse,
Projection of a vector $v$ onto the column space of a matrix $A$ is given by $AA^\dagger v$. From the definition of Moore-Penrose Inverse we know that $AA^\dagger v = (A^T)^\dagger A^T v $.
Below is ...

Updating factorization of Laplacian (add/remove edges)
For a graph $G=(V,E)$, recall that the unweighted Laplacian is $L:=D^\top D$, where $D\in\{-1,0,1\}^{|E|\times|V|}$ is the graph "gradient" operator that subtracts adjacent vertex values onto edges.
