In this paper, we review some numerical techniques based on the linear Krylov subspace iteration that can be used for the efficient calculation of the forward and the inverse electrical impedance tomography problems. Exploring their computational advantages in solving large-scale systems of equations, we specifically address their implementation in reconstructing localized impedance changes occurring within the human brain. If the conductivity of the head tissues is assumed to be real, the pre-conditioned conjugate gradients (PCGs) algorithm can be used to calculate efficiently the approximate forward solution to a given error tolerance. The performance and the regularizing properties of the PCG iteration for solving ill-conditioned systems of equations (PCGNs) is then explored, and a suitable preconditioning matrix is suggested in order to enhance its convergence rate. For image reconstruction, the nonlinear inverse problem is considered. Based on the Gauss-Newton method for solving nonlinear problems we have developed two algorithms that implement the PCGN iteration to calculate the linear step solution. Using an anatomically detailed model of the human head and a specific scalp electrode arrangement, images of a simulated impedance change inside brain's white matter have been reconstructed.

A reduced-dimension robust Capon beamforming method using Krylov subspace techniques (RDRCB) is a diagonal loading algorithm with low complexity, fast convergence and strong anti-interference ability. The diagonal loading level of RDRCB is known to become invalid if the initial value of the Newton iteration method is incorrect and the Hessel matrix is non-positive definite. To improve the robustness of RDRCB, an improved RDRCB (IRDRCB) was proposed in this study.

The saturation of a recently proposed universal bound on the Lyapunov exponent has been conjectured to signal the existence of a gravity dual. This saturation occurs in the low-temperature limit of the dense Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, N Majorana fermions with q body (q>2) infinite-range interactions. We calculate certain out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) for N≤64 fermions for a highly sparse SYK model and find no significant dependence of the Lyapunov exponent on sparsity up to near the percolation limit where the Hamiltonian breaks up into blocks.

In the design process of large adaptive mirrors numerical simulations represent the first step to evaluate the system design compliance in terms of performance, stability and robustness. For the next generation of Extremely Large Telescopes increased system dimensions and bandwidths lead to the need of modeling not only the deformable mirror alone, but also all the system supporting structure or even the full telescope. The capability to perform the simulations with an acceptable amount of time and computational resources is highly dependent on finding appropriate methods to reduce the size of the resulting dynamic models.

We study the mixed-type classical dynamics of the three-particle Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) model in relationship with its quantum counterpart and present new results on aspects of quantum chaos in this system. First we derive for the general N-particle FPUT system the transformation to the normal mode representation. Then we specialize to the three-particle FPUT case and derive analytically the semiclassical energy density of states, and its derivatives in which different singularies are determined, using the Thomas-Fermi rule.
