Abstract

Sparsified Randomization Monte Carlo (SRMC) algorithms for solving systems of linear algebraic equations introduced in our previous paper [34] are discussed here in a broader context. In particular, I present new randomized solvers for large systems of linear equations, randomized singular value (SVD) decomposition for large matrices and their use for solving inverse problems, and stochastic simulation of random fields. Stochastic projection methods, which I call here "random row action" algorithms, are extended to problems which involve systems of equations and constrains in the form of systems of linear inequalities.
