Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes	After successful end of this course, students will be able to: know and understand the Perron-Frobenius Theory, know the differences of Perron-Frobenius Theory as applied to different classes of matrices (irreducible, cyclic, primitive and reducible), know the efficiency of the Perron-Frobenius Theory in applications, know and understand the theory of Krylov subspace methods, know error analysis, know the preconditioned techniques and the necessity of preconditioning, implement the above methods with programs on a computer.
