The field of numerical methods for optimization and linear algebra is witnessing significant developments, with a focus on improving the efficiency and accuracy of algorithms for solving large-scale problems. Researchers are exploring new techniques, such as derivative-free methods, extended-Krylov-subspace methods, and randomized sketch techniques, to tackle complex optimization and linear algebra problems. These innovative approaches are enabling the solution of problems that were previously intractable, and are being applied to a wide range of fields, including scientific computing, machine learning, and data analysis. Notable papers in this area include:
- The paper on Extended-Krylov-subspace methods for trust-region and norm-regularization subproblems, which presents an effective new method for solving trust-region and norm-regularization problems.
- The paper on A CUR Krylov Solver for Large-Scale Linear Matrix Equations, which introduces a methodology leveraging CUR decomposition for solving large-scale generalized Sylvester and non-Sylvester multi-term equations.
