Subject: Looking for Large Sparse Symmetric Eigenproblems
We have recently developed an efficient scheme for reducing the
external orthogonalization required in a k-step explicitly restarted
Lanczos algorithm which computes the p largest eigenvalues one
at a time in descending order of magnitude.
Experiments on the T3D using a number of small matrices taken
from the Harwell-Boeing collection have shown that this scheme is
successful in improving the overall performance of our algorithms in
a distributed memory environment, however in order to assess the
scalabilty of the algorithms and their performance for much large
problems we need a few large, (n> 5000), sparse, positive definite,
symmetric matrices.

Subject: Short Course on Financial Engineering
This course is being taught at the Graduate Faculty, of the New School
in New York City, November 13-November 16. It may be of interest to
some people on this list, or perhaps to their students. There are no
formal prerequisites, although some knowledge on asset pricing would be
helpful.
FINANCIAL ENGINEERING with JAVA/C++
Taught by Professor Salih Neftci
Open to Professionals and Interested Graduate Students
This is a 4 day course which will be taught November 13-November 16.
This course is an introduction to numerical methods of modern finance
using C++ and, especially, Java. The course is not for Java or C++
programmers. It is directed towards financial market professionals who
would like to have a brief introduction to numerical methods with Java.
Graduate students from local universities are also welcome.
The course will provide only an introduction to these tools.
Similarities between C++ and Java will be pointed out and then some
basic asset pricing methodologies will be illustrated with Java. The
course will contain several hands-on applications during the lab hours.

http://www.aldona.mii.lt/mma2001/
Conference organizers
- Vilnius Gediminas Technical University
- Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Vilnius
- Vilnius University
The Conference focuses on various aspects of mathematical modelling and
usage of finite difference and finite element methods for numerical
solution of modern problems of science and engineering.
It aims, in particular, at fostering cooperation among practitioners
and theoreticians in this field.
Another very important aim of the MMA meetings is to assist in the creation
and maintenance of contacts between scientists from West and East.
Working language of the Conference is English.
