Structured  Numerical Linear Algebra Problems:
  
 
 Algorithms and Applications
  
Cortona, Italy, September 19-24, 
2004 
  
The workshop, organized by D.A. Bini, is supported by 
INDAM, the National Institute of High Mathematics, and
by the 
MIUR project "Structured matrix analysis: numerical 
methods and applications"
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The aims of the meeting  are: 
 -  to trace the state of the art in the research concerning structured
problems in numerical linear algebra and to investigate on the future research
lines;
-  to favor the interplay between theoretical and applied research by
means of exchange of methodologies and expertises where the emerging applications 
stimulate and feed theoretical research, and in turn the advanced theoretical 
tools allow the design of more powerful algorithms for real-life applications.
Topics of the workshop are:
 -  Structured matrix analysis including (but not limited to) Toeplitz,
Hankel, Vandermonde, Bezout, banded, semiseparable, Cauchy, Pick, Hessenberg,
mosaic, block, multilevel, matrices and the theoretical and applicative problems
from which they are originated (structured problems).
-  All kind of applications which involve structured matrices including
(but not limited to) interpolation, integral and differential equations,
least squares and regularization, polynomial computations, matrix equation,
control theory, queueing theory and Markov chains, image and signal processing.
-  Design and analysis of algorithms for the solution of structured problems.
Organizing Committe:  F. Di Benedetto, D. Fasino, 
L. Gemignani, N. Mastronardi, M. Redivo-Zaglia, G. Rodriguez, S. Serra and
V. Simoncini.
  
The workshop will take place at Villa Passerini, a XVI 
century monumental palace, also known as Il Palazzone, 
which  is located at walking distance (1 km) from
the center of Cortona 
a village of Etruscan origin in Tuscany.
