Numerical Analysis
The Numerical Analysis Group is involved in
research into techniques
for the solution of large scale problems in science, engineering,
operations research and economics. One of the main strengths of the
group, and one for which it is internationally recognized, is in the
solution of large sparse systems of linear equations, and of large-scale
linear and nonlinear optimization problems.
Members of the group are involved in many collaborative ventures
overseas, including projects with
Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Denmark, the Netherlands,
and the USA.
This work is described in our series of
technical
reports
and in various publications. Information is also
disseminated through invited and contributed presentations at
international meetings and conferences and some of our
talks
are available from the Web. Furthermore, implementations
of the underlying numerical algorithms are available in
software developed both for
HSL (formerly the
Harwell Subroutine Library), for
GALAHAD
and for the public domain.
Some of the
recent work of the Group is concerned with exploiting parallelism.
Members of the Group are also involved in teaching and supervision of
research students, locally, nationally, and internationally. Further
details are given in the Groups' biennial
progress
report.
