We continue to develop new methods for various Kronecker product
computations. In particular, we have a method for solving the nearest
Kronecker product problem when the factor matrices are subjected to
inhomogeneous constraints. Some applications in signal processing and
Markov processes are solved as a result. Kronecker product descriptions
for various fast wavelet transforms have also been derived. Our aim is to
proceed by analogy to the FFT, where such descriptions have played an
important role in the development of high-performance algorithms.
Both undergraduate texts on computational science that I have been working
on for the last four years are now in production. One is currently being
translated into C in anticipation of the fall semester.
