Factorizations of matrices play a crucial and diverse role in applied linear algebra.
They typically lead to the development of numerical methods and theoretical under-
standing of diverse concepts in statistics, optimization, economics and others. In this
minisymposium we assemble four talks on different types and applications of matrix
factorizations. Particular attention will be paid to bidiagonal factorizations of some
classes of matrices, the Cholesky full rank factorization for rank deficient matrices, the SVD decomposition with a number of related applications and a nonnegative matrix factorization.
