Computational and Variational Inverse
Problems, Spring 2014
This is the 1994-style web page for our class. Here you will find
everything you need (other than slick web design!).

Assignments:
-
Assignment #1 (Due February 12)
You will need the following MATLAB functions and other files for
Assignment 1:
-
Assignment #2 (Deadline extended to
March 3)
- descent.m
and mycg.m. These are the matlab codes that
implement the (exact) Newton-CG method to minimize the Rosenbrock
function (i.e., the "banana" function); this was demo-ed in class on
February 19. You might find these useful for the homework
assignment. Note while the code uses CG to solve the Newton system
at each iteration, it solves the system exactly, i.e., it does not
terminate early to enforce positive curvature nor to prevent
"over-solving." So you will have to add these if you want to build
on this code for Assignment 2. Also, descent.m hard-wires the Rosenbrock
function into the code, so obviously you will have to change that to
the problem of interest.
