Subject: The Lake Arrowhead Matrix and Its Graph
The Lake Arrowhead Matrix and Its Graph
At the 1993 Householder Symposium on Numerical Algebra in Lake Arrowhead,
Nick Trefethen posted a flip chart and invited everyone present to write
their name on it, and to draw lines connecting their name with the names
of all their coauthors. The diagram grew denser throughout the week; at
the end it was a graph with 104 vertices (or people) and 211 edges. Just
for fun, we typed the graph into Matlab and looked at it in a few different
ways. The graph and a Matlab script to view it are available by anonymous
ftp as parcftp.xerox.com:/pub/gilbert/householder.tar.Z .
The original flip chart is now framed on the wall of Nick's office at Cornell.
He promises to bring it along to Householder 2023.

Subject: Singular PDE Systems
Sometimes it happens that the solution of a p.d.e.
(and also its numerical approximation) is determined
up to a constant, or even up to a finite dimensional
kernel of big dimension (for instance in magnetostatic
problems, using the vector potential which is determined
up to a gradient).
For this reason, in general one has to solve a linear
system whose matrix is singular, but at least semidefinite,
with a ``compatible'' right hand side.
I noticed that it seems to be a common practice among engineers
to solve this singular system with an iterative method, for
instance conjugate gradient or GMRES, without doing
anything to de-singularize the matrix (for instance,
in the case of Stokes problem, one could fix the value
of pressure at a certain point of the domain).
Is there any theory on this topic?
Any reference will be welcome.
Thank you in advance.
