Subject: Elsevier boycott

More than 4,000 members of the scientific community have taken a stand
against what they feel are unacceptable business practices by Elsevier
publishers, including issues of pricing, bundling, lobbying against
open access, ethical violations, and poor quality control. Elsevier
publishes many journals in numerical analysis and related fields, so
this issue is highly relevant to the NA-Digest community. You can
read my reasons for supporting the boycott at

Subject: Announcing Tensor Toolbox for Matlab Version 2.5

Tensor Toolbox for MATLAB Version 2.5

Tensors (also known as multidimensional arrays or N-way arrays) are
used in a variety of applications ranging from chemometrics to network
analysis. The MATLAB tensor toolbox provides for manipulating dense,
sparse, and structured tensors using MATLAB's object-oriented
features.

Version 2.5 fixes numerous bugs, includes new documentation, and adds

* cp_apr - Poisson Tensor Factorization for sparse count data
* sshopm - Shifted Symmetric Higher-Order Power Method for tensor
eigenpairs
* create_problem - Tools for generating random tensor factorization
problems
* create_guess - Tools for creating starting points for tensor
factorization
* symmetrize/issymmetric - Functions to symmetrize a tensor and check
symmetry
* ttsv - Multiplies a dense symmetric tensor by the vector in multiple
modes
* teneye - Creates the (symmetric) "identity tensor"
* import_data/export_data - Functions for importing and exporting text
data

Subject: Call for Nominations: Blackwell-Tapia Prize 2012

Nominations are solicited for the sixth Blackwell–Tapia Prize, which
will be awarded at a conference to be held at the Institute for
Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) on
November 9–10, 2012. Nominees should be active mathematical
scientists who have (1) contributed and continue to contribute
significantly to research in their fields of expertise; and (2) served
as role models for mathematical scientists and students from
underrepresented minority groups or contributed in other significant
ways to addressing the problem of the underrepresentation of
minorities in mathematics. Nominations should include a letter
addressing both eligibility requirements, along with a CV of the
nominee. Additional letters supporting the nomination may be included,
but are not required. Nominations should be sent by e-mail to Robert
Megginson at meggin@umich.edu by February 12, 2012.

The biennial Blackwell–Tapia Prize was established in 2002 by the
Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute and the Mathematical
Sciences Research Institute in honor of the late David H. Blackwell
and Richard A. Tapia, distinguished mathematical scientists who have
been inspirations to more than a generation of African American and
Latino/Latina students and professionals in the mathematical
sciences. A consortium of U.S. mathematics institutes, which host the
conference in turn, supports the conference at which the prize is
awarded. Previous hosts have been MSRI (2002), IPAM (2004), IMA
(2006), SAMSI (2008), and MBI (2010). Prior to the first awarding of
the prize, an initial Blackwell–Tapia Conference was held at Cornell
University in 2000. The prize itself is funded by a generous donation
from Cornell. Previous recipients of the Blackwell–Tapia Prize are
Arlie Petters (2002), Rodrigo Bañuelos (2004), William Massey (2006),
Juan Meza (2008), and Trachette Jackson (2010).

Subject: PhD Position, TU Eindhoven, Netherlands

A PhD position is available at TU Eindhoven, starting date is before
the summer of 2012. Topic of research is the smoothed particle
hydrodynamics method. SPH is a numerical method that has been applied
with great success in many fields in engineering and science. Since it
is a gridless, particle based technique, it is especially suited for
treating problems with free surfaces, multiphase flow, high velocity
impact, crack propagation or large deformations.

SPH and its many variants show impressive simulation results in a
variety of applications. There are however great challenges ahead:
* To achieve reliable and accurate solutions, the computational
accuracy, consistency, stability and convergence need further
study. Indeed, consistency is a topic of recent
interest. Application of the traditional concept of consistency for
grid-based methods (can a polynomial of degree n be approximated
exactly?) leads to disappointing results for SPH: it can only
recover polynomials of degree 1 in the interior and not even degree
0 (constants) near the boundary of the computational domain.
* The treatment of domain boundaries and imposing boundary conditions
has triggered attention but has not been dealt with properly yet.
* Due to the particle nature of the method, it is not straightforward
how to achieve different resolution in parts of the computational
domain in an efficient way.
* It is currently unclear how to handle particles with varying
supports.

The PhD research will address several of these issues.
