Jerzy Respondek is a Polish computer engineer with a postdoctoral degree in technical sciences.
He is a professor at the Department of Applied Computer Science at the Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science of the Silesian University of Technology and specializes in numerical methods.
Author of the monograph:
Respondek J.S. “Fast Matrix Multiplication with Applications“, Studies in Big Data, Vol. 166, Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025 (260 pages)
Excerpt from the Editorial Review:
“The ambition of this monograph is to show the methods of constructing fast matrix multiplication algorithms, and their applications, in an intelligible way, accessible not only to mathematicians. Each algorithm is demonstrated by a concrete example of a decent dimensionality to ensure that all the mechanisms of the algorithms are illustrated. Finally, authors give a series of applications of fast matrix multiplication algorithms in linear algebra and other types of problems, including artificial intelligence.”
Co-author of the best algorithm in history, since 1891, for inverting confluent-type Vandermonde matrices, in terms of efficiency, memory requirements and accuracy at the same time:

Algorithm cited in the book: Gérard Meurant “Hessenberg and Tridiagonal Matrices” SIAM 2025.
That direction of Vandermonde generalization is mainly associated with generalized, Hermite-type interpolation, formulated in 1878: Hermite M. Ch., Borchardt M. “Sur la formule d’interpolation de Lagrange“. Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, Vol. 84, pp. 70-79, 1878. DOI:10.1515/crelle-1878-18788405
