This meeting is the thirteenth in a series, previously called the Gatlinburg Symposia. The name honors Alston S. Householder, one of the pioneers in numerical linear algebra and organizer of the first four meetings. The meeting has traditionally been held in an isolated location and is very informal in style. Each attendee is given the opportunity to present a talk, but a talk is not mandatory. The format of the meeting includes scheduled presentations during the day and more informal evening sessions that are organized on-site.
Spirited discussion is encouraged.
At the meeting, the Householder VII prize will be awarded for the best thesis in numerical algebra written since 1 January 1993. We hope that the meeting will be attended by recent entrants into numerical algebra as well as more experienced researchers. We encourage attendance by core numerical linear algebra researchers, matrix theoreticians, and people in applications such as optimization, signal processing, control, etc. The Program Committee welcomes your contribution. The meeting facility in Pontresina holds only 125 people, however, so attendance may need to be limited.
