Main themes
The course builds on the solid mathematical foundations of Matrix theory in order to elaborate algorithmic solutions to major challenges involving computations with/on matrices.
- Matrices defined over a field/ring/nonnegative: applications and challenges
- Canonical forms, decompositions, eigen- and singular values
- Norms, convexity, structured matrices: sparse/adjacency matrices
- Recent computational challenges: Nonnegative Matrix Factorization, matrix semigroups

Content
After an introduction recalling some basic notions, we discuss the following topics:
- Complements on determinants
- The singular value decomposition and its applications. Angles between subspaces, generalized inverses, projectors, least-squares problems
- Eigenvalue decomposition: Schur and Jordan form
- Approximations and variational characterization of eigenvalues
- Congruence and stability: inertia, Lyapunov equation, stability analysis of dynamical systems
- Structured and Polynomial matrices: Euclid algorithm, Smith normal form, fast algorithms.
- Nonnegative matrices: Perron-Frobenius theorem, stochastic matrices
- Matrix semigroups: algebraic structure, algorithms and applications (NMF, Joint Spectral Characteristics)
Teaching methods
- Regular classes with a schedule fixed by the EPL.
- A seminar with presentations by the students is organized at the end of the quadrimester.
- Exercises or homeworks made individually or in small groups, with the possibility to consult teaching assistants..
- Details announced during the first class.
Evaluation methods
The evaluation of the students is partly based on an exam organized according to the rules imposed by the EPL. The exam material corresponds to the contents of the course material, with the possible exception of certain parts specified after the last session of the course.
The other part of the evaluation is based on the homeworks and presentations made during the semester.
More elaborate information on the evaluation procedure is given in the course plan, made available at the beginning of the academic year.
