- New subsections on equilibrium systems and unsymmetric Toeplitz solvers.
- Toeplitz/Circulant/FFT connections.
- A decoupling of Chapter 7 (The Unsymmetric Eigenproblem) and
Chapter 8 (The Symmetric Eigenproblem) so that they can be read in either
order.
- Expanded discussion of the unsymmetric Lanczos process, the
Arnoldi iteration, and other Krylov subspace methods.
- A new subsection on ULV updating.
- Algorithms for Toeplitz eigenproblems and orthogonal
matrix eigenproblems.

Subject: New Book by Prof. V. I. Lebedev
As it was said by the famous Sobolev, for computational mathematics
Banach spaces are as indispensable as computers. New book of (former
Sobolev's PhD student) Prof. V.I.Lebedev (Institute for Numerical
Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences)
"An Introduction to Functional Analysis and Computational Mathematics",
has been published recently by Birkhauser (ISBN 0-8176-3888-1)
The book is based on the lectures read for many years by the author
in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (the famous "PhysTech").
It is a perfect combination of real-life numerical techniques and advanced
theoretical bases. The Vishik-Lax-Milgram theorem, embedding theorems,
Galerkin and Ritz methods for operator equations, ... are just some
sketches of material presented. "I tried to keep my book easily
readable, so there is no one proof more than 1 page", he told. The book
is not only high-quality textbook, but also of high interest for experts
in many fields of Numerical Analysis. For example, you may find there
how to build up endlessly continuable and optimal two-term Chebyshev
iteration for linear system solution, or, how to integrate stiff ODEs
by explicit methods (it is not a joke, Lebedev's explicit stiff ODE
codes DUMKA are proved to be quit robust, they have been succesfully
used for several years).
Prof. V.I.Lebedev is directly reached through nucrect@inm.ras.ru;
also, Fortran77 code of DUMKA is freely available.

Subject: New Nonlinear Equations / Global Optimization Book
My book, "Rigorous Global Search: Continuous Problems,"
ISBN: 0-7923-4238-0, is now available from Kluwer Academic Publishers.
The book treats research results and software in verified solution
of nonlinear systems and global optimization. It has an extensive
introduction to general theory and techniques. A table of contents and
preface are available, in Postscript form, at:
http://interval.usl.edu/books/table-of-contents-and-preface.ps
The index is available, in Postscript form, at:
http://interval.usl.edu/books/index.ps
The summary on the back cover and an order form are available at:
http://interval.usl.edu/books/Rigorous-Global-Search.txt
Special pricing for use as a course text is available.
I am also making my research code, in Fortran 90, available. This
code contains automatic differentiation, as described in the book,
nonlinear systems code, and code for constrained and unconstrained
optimization. Software engineering for neat packaging continues to proceed,
and different portions are in different states of polish. The
elementary portions (such as the interval arithmetic module) are in the
highest state of completion. The nonlinear systems solver is in relatively
good shape, while improvements are continuing on the general constrained
global optimization part.
The package includes a significant collection of test problems, written
simply in Fortran 90. Executables for Windows 95 machines (486 or higher)
and Sun Sparc machines are available. For source and executables, see:
ftp://interval.usl.edu/pub/interval_math/Fortran_90_software/INTOPT_90/">

GRENOBLE (FRANCE),
MAY 26-28, 1997
The objective of this symposium is to bring together researchers, from
various fields, actively involved in the area of Differential-Algebraic
Equations (DAE). The study of DAE involves many disciplines: simulation of
physical phenomena, differential geometry, numerical integration on manifolds,
symbolic computing, differential algebra ... Through talks and open discussions
we aim to encourage cross-fertilization between these different areas. For
this reason papers making openings between disciplines would be very welcome.
This symposium should also be the occasion to review the state of the art in
the field. The symposium is organized by the Computer Algebra Team of the
Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul, Institut de Mathematiques Appliquees
de Grenoble (LMC_IMAG).
THEMES
Mathematical tools (index, canonical forms, singularities ...).
Algebraic algorithms and computation.
Numerical methods.
Software for the analysis and integration of DAE's.
Applications (physics, mechanics, chemistry, control ...).

Subject: Update on Asilomar Conference on Radial Basis Functions
Dear Colleagues:
We have an update on the "Radial Basis Functions" conference at
the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California.
Because of problems scheduling the conference into the Center it
was necessary to change either the date or the venue. We have
decided to hold the conference from May 27-May 30, 1997. Check-
in at Asilomar will be after 3pm on May 27, with check-out by 12
noon on May 30.
As you know radial basis functions are becoming widely used in
neural networks, approximations, interpolation, partial and
integral differential equations, etc. We anticipate that this
conference will be an excellent opportunity for theoreticians and
practitioners to meet and exchange ideas in a setting conducive
to in-depth discussion.
The Asilomar Conference Center is located on the tip of the
Monterey Peninsula within a short walking distance from the
beach. This center offers conference rooms, with guest rooms and
full dining services under the American plan at a very reasonable
cost. Asilomar is within a short distance of many favorite
tourist spots such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel-by-the-
Sea, the Big Sur coastline, and Point Lobos. Although it is
always tourist season on the Monterey Peninsula, the last week of
May should be relatively uncrowded.
We hope to keep registration costs low, below $170. More
information regarding the cost of accommodations will be
forthcoming, but depending on the type of room, a room and meals
for the three days of the conference should be no more than about
$250, single occupancy, with a substantial saving per person for
double occupancy. For those wanting to do so, an attempt to
facilitate room-sharing will be made. A few larger rooms are
available. It is possible to stay elsewhere, although there is
an additional charge of $7 per day for participants not staying
at the center, and arrangements for meals (perhaps at Asilomar)
will be necessary.
If you are not presently on our distribution list, please send us
your email address (or regular mail, if necessary), so we can be
sure you get the housing form and other information about the
meeting.

Subject: Parallel Programming with BSPlib
Parallel Programming with BSPlib: Boot-Up Day
Friday 10 January 1997
Oxford University Computing Lab.
Would you like to be able to write architecture-independent but
efficient parallel code ? Have you tried MPI and PVM, and now
want a simpler alternative ? Are you fed up with dead lock in your code ?
Or, maybe you've heard of Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP)
programming or the BSPlib proposals for BSP primitives,
available as part of the BSP Programming Environment being
developed by Oxford Parallel, and want to know more ?
Then this could be the course for you!
The Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model unlocks the
potential of parallel computing. It allows developers to write
software that is architecture-independent and yet takes advantage
of whatever parallel computing facilities a particular machine
can offer.
An advantage of BSPlib, an implementation of the BSP
approach, over other approaches to architecture-independent
programming such as the message passing libraries PVM or
MPI lies in the simplicity of its interface. A piece of software
written for an ordinary, sequential machine can be transformed
to a parallel application with the addition of a bare minimum of
instructions for parallel execution.
Another advantage is the predictability of performance. The time
required to execute a program can be computed from the
program text and two parameters that characterise the target
architecture. BSP cost analysis can therefore be used to guide
algorithm development towards highly optimised solutions that
are applicable across a wide range of architectures.
Objectives of the One-Day Practical Course
This practical one day course will introduce the world-wide BSP
parallel programming library BSPlib to users interested in, or
active in, parallel computing. A pre-requisite is a working
knowledge of C or FORTRAN. The main objectives of the
BSPlib Boot-Up day are to enable the participant to:
get BSPlib (from the World Wide Web or supplied disk) and
install it on a variety of machines;
execute and profile the example programs (C, FORTRAN),
and write parallel codes using BSPlib;
derive a simple cost model, and use the BSPlib profiling tool
to enable accurate prediction on parallel performance across all
platforms.
All participants will be supplied with a "start-up" kit including:
detailed course notes;
the BSPlib source;
numerous example programs.
This course is not intended as an introduction to parallel
computing, or as a discussion about the theoretical aspects of
BSP.
