Numerical linear algebra: how to compute $B^TC^{−1}B$ efficiently
Hi,
my question is similar to this one. I have to compute $B^TC^{−1}B$, where $C$ is a strictly positive definite $n\times n$ matrix and $B$ is $n\times m$.
The matrix $C$ is huge ($n$ up to a ...

Iterative matrix inversion with $L^\infty$ norm
The usual conjugate gradient type algorithms for iteratively finding the inverse of a matrix applied to a vector, $x = A^{-1} y$, works by minimizing $\|Ax - y\|^2$ where $\| \cdot \|$ is the $L^2$-...

Optimization algorithms for Kronecker approximation of high-dimensional covariance matrices
I'm working with a high-dimensional covariance matrix and exploring Kronecker product approximations to make it computationally manageable.
Here's the setup:
I have a graph $G$ represented by a $D\...
