16th Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra; Champion, PA; May 23-27, 2005

房主研讨会聚集了世界上最活跃的研究人员在数值线性代数每三年一次审查进展领域，目前最新的理论和实践成果，评估该领域的领导在不久的将来，并提供一个亲密的气氛，以促进密切的个人互动和思想交流。 将在研讨会上强调的关键主题包括大型线性方程组，本征值问题，预处理，扰动理论，最小二乘法，积分方程的解决方案，以及在科学和工程计算的许多不同方面的应用，包括控制，系统和信号处理，数据挖掘，数据压缩和生物工程。许多数值线性代数研究者认为Householder Symposium是该领域最重要和最有影响力的会议，本项目资助美国初级研究人员参加将于2005年5月23- 27日在宾夕法尼亚州Champion举行的第16届Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra。 这些资金用于支付美国研究生和最近的博士生的旅费，否则他们将无法参加。 NSF基金将允许美国数值线性代数社区最有前途的初级成员充分参与。 由于户主研讨会传统上是进入该领域的门户会议，因此年轻科学家的参与至关重要。美国参加研讨会将对美国在数值线性代数这一关键学科的持续强大竞争力产生积极影响。数值线性代数的进步对许多科学领域产生了巨大的影响，这些领域对保持美国在科学和技术方面的竞争力非常重要。最近的一些例子包括开发网络搜索引擎，如Google和Yahoo的搜索引擎，开发全球定位系统中使用的算法，可用于机场安全的基于特征值的人脸识别算法，以及开发高速超级计算机的算法。

The Householder Symposium gathers the world's most active researchers in numerical linear algebra once every three years to review advances in the field, present recent theoretical and practical results, assess where the field is headed in the near future, and to provide an intimate atmosphere to foster close personal interaction and exchange of ideas. Key subjects that will be emphasized at the symposium include the solution of large systems of linear equations, eigenvalue problems, preconditioning, perturbation theory, least squares, integral equations, and applications in many different aspects of scientific and engineering computation, including control, systems and signal processing, data-mining, data compression, and bio-engineering. Many reseachers in numerical linear algebra consider the Householder Symposium to be the most important and influential meeting in the field.This project supports the travel of junior U.S. researchers to the 16th Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra to be held May 23--27, 2005 in Champion, Pennsylvania. The funds are for travel expenses for U.S. graduate students and recent Ph.D.s who would otherwise be unable to attend. The NSF funds will permit full participation by the most promising junior members of the U.S. numerical linear algebra community. As the Householder Symposium is traditionally a gateway conference into the field, participation of junior scientists is essential. U.S. participation in the Symposium will have a positive impact on the continued strong competitiveness of the U.S. in the crucial discipline of numerical linear algebra. Advances in numerical linear algebra have had an enormous impact on a number of scientific fields that are important in maintaining U.S. competitiveness in science and technology. Some recent examples include the development of web search engines such as those for Google and Yahoo, algorithms used in the development of the global positioning system, eigenvalue based algorithms for face recognition that can be used in airport security, and the development of algorithms for high speed supercomputers.
