In 1907, Erhard Schmidt published a paper in which he introduced an orthogonalization algorithm that has since become known as the classical Gram-Schmidt process. Schmidt claimed that his procedure was essentially the same as an earlier one published by J. P.Gram in 1883. The Schmidt version was the first to become popular and widely used. An algorithm related to a modified version of the process appeared in an 1820 treatise by P. S. Laplace. Although related algorithms have been around for almost 200years, it is the Schmidt paper that led to the popularization of orthogonalization techniques. The year 2007 marked the 100th anniversary of that paper. In celebration of that anniversary, we present a comprehensive survey of the research on Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization and its related QR factorization. Its application for solving least squares problems and in Krylov subspace methods are also reviewed. Software and implementation aspects are also discussed.

A flexible electrochromic active matrix addressed display, including 8 × 8 pixels, is demonstrated by using solution processing based on standard printing and coating manufacturing techniques. Each organic electrochromic display (OECD) pixel and its corresponding organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) are located on different sides of the flexible PET substrate. Electronic vias generated through the plastic substrate connects each OECD pixel with one addressing OECT. When comparing this display with actively addressed OECDs with all its components located on the same side, the present approach based on this electronic via substrate provides an enhanced pixel resolution and a relatively more simplified manufacturing process., Funding Agencies|Lintec Corporation||VINNOVA (Printed Electronics Arena)||KAW (Power Papers)||Onnesjo Foundation

In this paper, we discuss the conditions under which the coupled KdV and coupled Harry Dym hierarchies possess inverse (negative) parts. We further investigate the structure of nonlocal parts of tensor invariants of these hierarchies, in particular, the nonlocal terms of vector fields, conserved one-forms, recursion operators, Poisson and symplectic operators. We show that the invertible coupled KdV hierarchies possess Poisson structures that are at most weakly nonlocal while coupled Harry Dym hierarchies have Poisson structures with nonlocalities of the third order., Funding Agencies|Swedish Research Council|2011-52
