Krylov subspace-based dimension reduction
of large-scale linear dynamical systems

Thursday, March 31, 2005
3:00 PM- 4:00 PM
Room 634 S&R1

Abstract: In recent years, Krylov subspace methods have become widely-used tools for dimension reduction of large-scale linear dynamical systems. In this talk, we describe some basic properties of these methods, and discuss applications in VLSI circuit simulation. We also present some results about structure-preserving Krylov subspace-based reduction techniques for higher-order linear dynamical systems, and mention some open problems.
