Henk van der Vorst

Hendrik "Henk" Albertus van der Vorst (born 5 May 1944, Venlo)[1] is a Dutch mathematician and Emeritus Professor of Numerical Analysis at Utrecht University. According to the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), his paper[2] on the BiCGSTAB method was the most cited paper in the field of mathematics in the 1990s.[3] He is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) since 2002[4] and the Netherlands Academy of Technology and Innovation.[5] In 2006 he was awarded a knighthood of the Order of the Netherlands Lion.[6] Henk van der Vorst is a Fellow of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).[7]

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,[8][9] the BiCGSTAB[2] and (together with Kees Vuik) GMRESR[10] Krylov subspace methods and (together with Gerard Sleijpen) the Jacobi-Davidson method[11] for solving ordinary, generalized, and nonlinear eigenproblems. He has analyzed convergence behavior of the conjugate gradient[12] and Lanczos methods. He has also developed a number of preconditioners for parallel computers,[13] 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[14] and one of the authors of the Templates projects for linear problems[15] and eigenproblems.[16]
