Special Issue of Linear Algebra and Its Applications
ACCURATE SOLUTION OF EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS

In the last several years, there have been a number of advances in the accurate solution of eigenvalue problems. Many of the results have come from the realization that eigenvalue algorithms that exploit the structure of the problem can lead to more accurate eigenvalue and eigenvector computations. Well known examples include faster and more accurate methods for solving the symmetric tridiagonal eigenproblem, more accurate methods for computing the singular value decompostion, and further understanding of the conditioning theory for the non-symmetric eigenvalue problem.

To recognize these advances and to encourage further advances, we are proposing to have a special issue of Linear Algebra and Its Applications on Accurate Solution of Eigenvalue Problems.

This special issue is in coordination with the International Workshop on Accurate Solution of Eigenvalue Problems to be held in University Park, PA on July 20-23, 1998. The participants in the workshop will be strongly encouraged to submit papers to the special issue. Submissions are also welcome from non-participants as long as they are consistent with the themes of the workshop.
