Approximation theory for matrices

Creators

Description

We review the theory of optimal polynomial and rational Chebyshev approximations, and Zolotarev's formula for the sign function over the range ε < vertical bar z vertical bar < 1. We explain how rational approximations can be applied to large sparse matrices efficiently by making use of partial fraction expansions and multi-shift Krylov space solvers
