• Applications of the spectral decomposition: matrix functions, convergence of iterative methods, extremal properties of the eigenvalues
• QR decomposition – rank of the matrix, atable solution of linear systems, reflection
• SVD – low rank approximations of a matrix, image deblurring, image compression
• Approximate decompositions of large matrices and related linear algebra
• Tensor approximations – Kronecker product, tensors, tensor SVD, tensor train, image debluring
• Variational principle and least squares
• Total least squares
• Minimization of a quadratic function with equality constraints – KKT, duality, basic algorithms, SVM,
