Subject: New Book, Direct and Iterative Linear System Solvers
Direct and Iterative Linear System Solvers by Gérard Meurant
Solving linear systems of equations is ubiquitous in scientific
computing; therefore, numerical algorithms for solving them are
paramount. This book describes the state of the art in direct and
iterative methods for solving nonsingular linear systems of
equations. The author considers several variants of elimination
methods, classical iterative methods, variants of the conjugate
gradient method, and Krylov methods for nonsymmetric systems and
describes many preconditioners. Finite precision arithmetic and
numerical experiments are emphasized.
Direct and Iterative Linear System Solvers describes and analyzes many
numerical experiments with these methods, provides templates of codes
for implementing these methods, and introduces more recent techniques
like mixed precision and randomization

Subject: Announcement of the 17th International Conference on Free Boundary Problems: Theory and Applications September 2026 (FBP 2026)
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 17th International Conference on Free
Boundary Problems: Theory and Applications (FBP 2026), which will take
place from September 7 to 11, 2026, in Berlin, Germany.

analytical, computational, and applied aspects of free boundary
problems. Topics include, among others, degenerate PDEs, geometric
flows, optimization and shape optimization, phase transitions,
fluid-structure interaction, free boundaries in biology, and numerical
methods for geometric PDEs.

Subject: pyMOR School and User Meeting, Austria, Sep 2026
We are delighted to invite you to the 8th pyMOR School, taking
place from September 14-18, 2026, in Graz, Austria.
This school is targeted at anyone interested in applying model order
reduction in their work using pyMOR (https://pymor.org). It will offer
interactive lectures on some of the most important MOR methods and how
to use these methods with pyMOR. Particular emphasis will be put on
data-driven methods for parametric problems and control systems. In
hands-on sessions, participants will have the opportunity to either
gain more experience with pyMOR through exercise problems or to work
on integrating pyMOR into their existing projects with the help of the
pyMOR developers.
Experienced users of pyMOR and related software packages are also
invited to join us, share their experience in the user talks session
and work together with the developers, in particular during our code
sprint on Thursday evening.
Registration is open until August 14, 2026, at
https://indico3.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/event/67/

Subject: SISC Quantum Computing Special Section deadline extended to July 31, 2026
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (SISC) invites submissions for a
Special Section of the journal on “Quantum Computing: Numerical
Algorithms and Applications.”
Submissions will be accepted until July 31, 2026. The review process
of each submitted manuscript will start immediately after submission,
and accepted papers will be published online on a rolling basis.
The scope of the Special Section encompasses two focus areas:
1. Quantum Algorithms for Scientific Computing Applications including,
for instance, quantum algorithms for differential equations, linear
and nonlinear systems, eigenvalue problems, optimization, and machine
learning. 2. Scientific Computing Methods for Quantum Computing
Science including tensor networks for quantum computing simulators,
simulation of qubits and quantum processors, and numerical optimal
control methods for designing quantum gates and pulse shapes.
Submissions to the Special Section should present algorithmic
contributions in the context of a full algorithmic stack that advances
end-to-end quantum applications instead of focusing on some core
components of quantum algorithms in isolation. The scope of the
Special Section includes various technologies of quantum computing
including gate-based quantum computers, quantum annealers, and hybrid
quantum-classical approaches. Evaluation of the proposed numerical
algorithms in computational experiments, for example, in simulation
environments or on actual quantum hardware, is a mandatory part of
publications submitted to the Special Section, as well as comparison
to best- in-class alternatives.
