Methods of numerical linear algebra are concerned with the theory and practical aspects of computing solutions of mathematical problems in engineering such as image and signal processing, telecommunication, data mining, computational finance, bioinformatics, optimization, and partial differential equations.

In recent years, applications of methods of numerical linear algebra in engineering have received a lot of attention and a large number of papers have proposed several methods for solving engineering problems. This special issue is devoted to publishing the latest and significant methods of numerical linear algebra for computing solutions of engineering problems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Linear systems and least squares problems
• Eigenvalue problems
• Control theory and signal processing
• Continuous optimization
