Software Involving Kronecker Products
Kronecker products of matrices arise in a wide variety of applications and
have been exploited in numerous algorithms to significantly reduce operation
counts. Huge systems of equations involving millions of variables frequently
arise and are routinely solved using Kronecker product methods in the engineering
community. Frequently, the normal equations are utilized to solve Kronecker
Product least squares problems, a technique which is known to be unstable.
Recently, stable methods using QR and URV factorizations have been developed.
The speakers will address numerical issues in Kronecker product methods,
approximation by Kronecker products, and specific applications.
