Abstract
Increasingly, computational problems that involve multilinear algebra are arising in applications. The Kronecker product is the bridge that links ordinary matrix computations with this more complicated setting. We will illustrate these points including a new approach to computing 3-dimensional singular value decomposition.
About the Speaker
Professor Van Loan has been in the faculty of the CS Dept. at Cornell since 1975, currently (since 1999) he's the Chairman of the Department. His research area is scientific computation, in particular, matrix computations especially arising out of signal processing and control theory.
