Algorithm to check a conjectural value for the rank of a large matrix
Feel free to suggest a different title, I'm not sure how to phrase this. I'm in the following somewhat specific situation:
I'm checking a conjecture which at the end of the day boils down to the ...

Parametrising a sparse orthogonal matrix
I need to find a way to parametrise a matrix that is both sparse (to some degree) and orthogonal, i.e., I am looking for a parametrisation that describes $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$ such that $AA^š¯‘‡...

Square root of a large sparse symmetric positive definite matrix
I am trying to calculate
$$Y = A^{\frac 12} X$$
where $A$ is a very large and sparse positive definite matrix, say, $10^4 \times 10^4$. Matrix $X$ is known and, say, $10^4 \times 100$. Is there any ...

Computing the largest eigenvalue of a very large sparse matrix
I am trying to compute the asymptotic growth-rate in a specific combinatorial problem depending on a parameter $w$, using the Transfer-Matrix method. This amounts to computing the largest eigenvalue ...

Exponential of large matrices
I want to make a diffusion kernel, which involves $e^{\beta A}$, where A is a large matrix (25k by 25k). It is an adjacency matrix, so it's symmetric and very sparse.
Does anyone have a ...
