Research
My research is focused on the following three topics:
- Low rank approximation of discrete matrices and tensors, and multidimensional functions
Representation of 3D functions in Chebfun3 involving three quasimatrices and a discrete core tensor. See [H. & Trefethen, SISC, 2017] for details.
- Verified numerical algorithms
Histograms for correct digits in 2500 entries of the square root of a 50 x 50 matrix. Left: Number of correct digits in the floating point approximation. Middle: Number of correct digits in computed enclosing intervals. Right: Additional correct digits obtained through enclosing intervals. For details see [Frommer & H., SIMAX, 2009].
Interpolation of the wiggly function at 120 intervals containing Chebyshev points. Rigorous lower and upper bounds on the interpolant are depicted using verified evaluation at 1000 equispaced points. This is work in progress.
- Matrix theory over ordered semirings
Comparison of the connections between vertices in the graphs corresponding with the Kronecker sums and products over semirings. See [H., Tavakolipour & Shirazi, LAA, 2014] to find out how we do it!
