               SEMINAR ACTIVITIES

               COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, June 30, 1982.

               Prof. J. A. George of this department will  speak  on
               "Some  Ideas  and  Unsolved Problems in Sparse Matrix
               Computations."

               TIME:  3:30 PM

               ROOM:  M&C 5158

               ABSTRACT

               This talk will deal with some algorithms and computa-
               tional techniques that have proven to be effective in
               sparse matrix computation.  These include  dissection
               strategies,  the  minimum  degree  algorithm, "throw-
               away" techniques, and  some  ideas  based  on  matrix
               splitting.   In addition to describing the algorithms
               and techniques,  some  unsolved  problems  associated
               with them will be discussed.

               Coffee and refreshment will be served at 3:00 PM pri-
               or to the talk.
