The guest editors regret that they did not realise when they received the proof files of the Editorial for the Special Issue of Linear Algebra and its Applications 502 (2016), that the below Preface file was not included in this Issue. When this was noticed, the issue has already reached the final version and has been printed. They cannot make corrections any more. Therefore, the guest editors publish a corrigendum to make available the Preface of this Special Issue of Linear Algebra and its Applications on Structured Linear and Multilinear Algebra. The guest editors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Editorial Structured Numerical Linear and Multilinear Algebra: Analysis, Algorithms and Applications The Sixth International Conference on Structured Numerical Linear and Multilinear Algebra: Analysis, Algorithms and Applications (SLA 2014) was held in Kalamata, DOI of original article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.laa.2016.03.042. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.laa.2016.05.006 0024-3795/© 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.

Greece, September 8–12, 2014. The conference aimed to continue in form and spirit the series of conferences on structured matrices that were held in Cortona, Italy every four years from 1996 to 2008, and then in Leuven, Belgium in 2012. More than 80 participants from Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the USA attended the conference in Kalamata, and this issue of the journal Linear Algebra and its Applications contains carefully selected and refereed papers submitted by its participants. The conference was organised by the Department of Mathematics, University of Athens, under the Dean of the School of Science, and the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield. The organising committee consisted of Dario Bini (University of Pisa, Italy), Marilena Mitrouli (University of Athens, Greece), Marc Van Barel (KU Leuven, Belgium) and Joab Winkler (University of Sheffield, United Kingdom). Structured matrices arise in many applications in applied mathematics, including the solutions of some difference and differential equations, computer algebra, polynomial computations, signal processing, image processing, geometric modelling and queuing theory. This diverse range yields a rich source of problems to be addressed, and it provided the motivation for the conference. Experts in structured numerical linear and multilinear algebra were invited to present their state-of-the-art research results, exchange new ideas and discuss future developments in the theory and applications of the themes of the conference. The breadth of the topics covered in the 52 invited talks demonstrates the broad nature of the research in these areas. The topics discussed included matrix pencils and matrix polynomials, matrix subspaces and decompositions, matrix equations and time series, regularisation and illconditioned problems, tensors and their applications, polynomials, Hankel and Toeplitz matrices, eigenvalues, quasi-separable matrices, preconditioners, companion matrices, traces, matrix functions and networks, inverse problems and symbolic algebra. A lecture course Matrices, moments and quadrature with applications was given, and there were two plenary talks, Network analysis and matrix functions and Sampling algorithms in numerical linear algebra and their applications. The conference organisers wish to thank the Editors-in-Chief, Professor Volker Mehrmann, Professor Richard Brualdi and Professor Peter Semrl, of the journal Linear Algebra and its Applications, and in particular, Professor Volker Mehrmann, who is the Editor-in-Chief of this issue. The conference organisers wish to thank Elsevier for their sponsorship of the conference and their help in the preparation of the papers in this special issue. They also wish to thank the Dean of the School of Science and the Head of the Department of Mathematics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens for their generous support of the conference.
