DESCRIPTION:Zhaojun Bai from University of California will be speaking at
  this seminar. \n\nAbstract :\nMany computational science and data analy
 sis techniques lead to optimizing Rayleigh quotient (RQ) and RQ type obj
 ective functions\, such as computing excitation states (energies) of ele
 ctronic structures\, robust classification to handle uncertainty and con
 strained data clustering to incorporate a prior information. We will dis
 cuss origins of recently emerging RQ optimization problem\, variational 
 principles\, and reformulations to algebraic linear and nonlinear eigenv
 alue problems. We will show how to exploit underlying properties of eige
 nvalue problems for designing eigensolvers\, and illustrate the efficacy
  of these solvers in applications.
