About Henk Van Der Vorst
- Hendrik "Henk" Albertus van der Vorst (born 5 May 1944, Venlo) is a Dutch mathematician and Emeritus Professor of Numerical Analysis at Utrecht University.
- According to the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), his paper on the BiCGSTAB method was the most cited paper in the field of mathematics in the 1990s. He is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) since 2002 and the Netherlands Academy of Technology and Innovation. In 2006 he was awarded a knighthood of the Order of the Netherlands Lion. Henk van der Vorst is a Fellow of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).His major contributions include preconditioned iterative methods, in particular the ICCG (incomplete Cholesky conjugate gradient) method (developed together with Koos Meijerink), a version of preconditioned conjugate gradient method, the BiCGSTAB and (together with Kees Vuik) GMRESRKrylov subspace methods and (together with Gerard Sleijpen) the Jacobi-Davidson method for solving ordinary, generalized, and nonlinear eigenproblems. He has analyzed convergence behavior of the conjugate gradient and Lanczos methods.
- He has also developed a number of preconditioners for parallel computers, including truncated Neumann series preconditioner, incomplete twisted factorizations, and the incomplete factorization based on the so-called "vdv" ordering. He is the author of the book and one of the authors of the Templates projects for linear problems and eigenproblems.
