Welcome to Ken'ichiro Tanaka's home page. I am a professor at Institute of Science Tokyo.

Research

My research interest is in numerical analysis and computational methods in science and engineering.

• Function approximation, numerical integration, and their application to equations
    ◦ Double-exponential (DE) Sinc methods
    ◦ Kernel quadrature / interpolation
• Mathematical optimization
    ◦ Conditional gradient methods (for sampling)
    ◦ Gradient descent methods (for sampling)
• Numerical methods for economics and finance
• Numerical computation with guaranteed accuracy

[Sep. 3, 2025] I received an award for an excellent paper in Transactions of the JSIAM section in 2025, which was awarded by Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. This is an award for the paper "Precise Approximation Formula for Fourier Transform of Functions with Exponential Decay for the Whole Frequency (指数減衰する関数に対する全周波数領域におけるフーリエ変換の高精度な近似公式)", written in collaboration with Naoya Takakura, my former master's student. [Certificate of commendation]

[Aug. 20, 2025] I wrote a book review (in Japanese) of my colleagues' recent (Japanese) publication, “Focused Explanation of Monte Carlo Methods and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods” in the September 2025 issue of the magazine “Mathematical Science”.

[Jul. 19, 2025] A new paper "Computation of the exponential function of matrices by a formula without oscillatory integrals on infinite intervals" (webpage) has been published in Japan Journal of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. This paper was written in collaboration with my former master's student Masato Suzuki.

[Jun. 17, 2025] From June 16 to 17, I visited Kyoto University to participate in Research Meeting for Mathematics and Informatics.
