Astronomy at or below the 'survey threshold' has expanded significantly since the publication of the original 'Science with the Square Kilometer Array' in 1999 and its update in 2004. The techniques in this regime may be broadly (but far…

The solution of sequences of shifted linear systems is a classic problem in numerical linear algebra, and a variety of efficient methods have been proposed over the years. Nevertheless, there still exist challenging scenarios witnessing a…
