About the workshop

The size of the linear systems that arise in optimization methods for large-scale problems is often a bottleneck for direct methods. In such cases, the use of well-suited iterative methods with specialized preconditioners can be vital to improve the efficiency of the optimization method. This workshop will consist of several presentations by leading researchers, with the aim of promoting an exchange of ideas to advance the state of the art in this area.

Date

Wednesday 22 November, 2017.
