- Limited-memory polynomial methods for large-scale matrix functions
with Daniel Kressner and Kathryn Lund.
We review various limited-memory methods for the approximation of the action of a large-scale matrix function on a vector. Emphasis is put on polynomial methods, whose memory requirements are known or prescribed a priori. Methods based on explicit polynomial approximation or interpolation, as well as restarted Arnoldi methods, are treated in detail.

- ABBA: Adaptive Brownian bridge-based symbolic aggregation of time series
with S. Elsworth.
A new symbolic representation of time series, called ABBA, is introduced. It is based on an adaptive polygonal chain approximation of the time series into a sequence of tuples, followed by a mean-based clustering. Extensive comparisons with the SAX and 1d-SAX representations show that ABBA
is able to better preserve the essential shape information of time series at comparable compression rates.

We devise a new deferred correction method for coupled systems of time-dependent PDEs, allowing one to iteratively improve the accuracy of low-order time stepping schemes. We test our approach on a number of PDE-constrained optimization problems and obtain solution accuracies far superior to that achieved when solving a single discretized problem, in particular in cases where the accuracy is limited by the time discretization.

Numerical experiments demonstrate the possible computational savings especially for pencils whose eigenvalues are not well separated and when the dimension of the search space is only slightly larger than the number of wanted eigenvalues. The new approach improves both convergence robustness and load balancing when FEAST runs on multiple search intervals in parallel.

functions of Hermitian positive definite matrices. We also propose
a modification of the Arnoldi method which guarantees convergence for positive real matrices.

We introduce an overlapping time-domain decomposition method for linear
initial-value problems which gives rise to an efficient parallel solution method
without resorting to the frequency domain.

- Rational Krylov Methods for Operator Functions
We present a unified and self-contained treatment of rational Krylov
methods for approximating the product of a function of a linear operator
with a vector. With the help of general rational Krylov decompositions
we reveal the connections between seemingly different approximation
methods, such as the Rayleigh--Ritz or shift-and-invert method, and derive
new methods, for example a restarted rational Krylov method and
a related method based on rational interpolation in prescribed nodes...

- Deflated restarting for matrix functions
with M. Eiermann and O. G. Ernst. We investigate an acceleration technique for restarted Krylov
subspace methods for approximating the action of a function of a large sparse matrix on a vector. The approximation is constructed with the
help of a generalization of Krylov decompositions to linearly dependent vectors. The restarted process is characterized as a successive interpolation scheme at Ritz values in which the exact
shifts are replaced with improved eigenvalue approximations in each cycle.

- On the convergence of rational Ritz values
with B. Beckermann and R. Vandebril. The rational Krylov method is a method for computing parts of the spectrum of
a large Hermitian matrix. It is well known that its convergence behavior depends not only on the
distribution of eigenvalues but also on the choice of the poles which are free parameters. We characterize the region of good convergence for the rational Arnoldi
process, and obtain various results on the rate of approximation of a given eigenvalue by a rational
Ritz value.

- A generalization of the steepest descent method for matrix functions
with M. Afanasjew, M. Eiermann, and O. G. Ernst. We consider the special case of the restarted Arnoldi method for approximating the product of a
function of a Hermitian matrix with a vector which results when the restart length is set to one. When applied
to the solution of a linear system of equations, this approach coincides with the method of steepest descent. We
show that the method is equivalent to an interpolation process in which the node sequence has at most two points of
accumulation. This knowledge is used to quantify the asymptotic convergence rate.

- Implementation of a restarted Krylov subspace method for the evaluation of matrix functions
with M. Afanasjew, M. Eiermann, and O. G. Ernst. A new implementation of restarted Krylov subspace methods for evaluating f(A)b for a function f, a
matrix A and a vector b is proposed. In contrast to an implementation proposed previously, it requires constant
work and constant storage space per restart cycle. The convergence behavior of this scheme is discussed
and a new stopping criterion based on an error indicator is given. The performance of the implementation is
illustrated for three parabolic initial value problems, requiring the evaluation of exp(A)b.

- Convergence Estimates of Krylov Subspace Methods for the Approximation of Matrix Functions Using Tools from Potential Theory
This diploma thesis reviews various definitions of matrix functions and polynomial Krylov methods for their approximation. Relations to polynomial interpolation and best approximation problems are made. The convergence behavior of Ritz values associated with Hermitian matrices is investigated. A new algorithm for the solution of the constrained energy problem with a measure supported in the complex plane is developed. This algorithm is then used to study Ritz values associated with a normal non-Hermitian matrix.
