Subject: Rebroadcast of Lectures from SIAM Annual Meeting
The overheads from some of the invited lectures at the SIAM 45th
Anniversary Meeting are available on the web at
http://www.msri.org/lecturenotes/97/SIAM/
The lectures (listed below) were multicast live over the internet. Due
to technical problems at Stanford, half of them were not widely
viewable. MSRI will rebroadcast these lectures during the next two
months. The notes will be linked to the lectures.
To find out when these rebroadcasts will occur, look at the "1997 MBone
Broadcast schedule," a link to which is located at
http://www.msri.org/mbone/
On this same page, there are links to other MBone information sources.

Subject: Computing Eigenvalues on a Cray T3D
COMPUTING EIGENSOLUTIONS ON A CRAY T3D
We would be interested in hearing from anyone who
has had experience of computing complete
eigensolutions of real dense symmetric matrices (of
orders of a few thousand) on a Cray T3D machine. In
particular, we are interested in knowing:
(i) what method you used
(ii) whether you developed your own implementation
or relied on library routines
(iii) execution times
(iv) the speedups (if any) which you obtained
(v) the efficiency of processor use

Subject: PDS Now Available on the NEOS Server
We have added PDS as a solver to the NEOS Server.
PDS is a parallel direct search method written by Virginia Torczon
with improvements by David Serafini. PDS is a derivative-free
method for unconstrained optimization, suitable for modest size
problems where derivatives are unavailable or unreliable and/or
problems where the function evaluation cost is not large. PDS is
available on a variety of serial and parallel platforms. NEOS/PDS
runs in parallel on an IBM SP2. Installation in the NEOS Server
was done by David Serafini.
You can try out PDS by visiting the NEOS Server at
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/otc/Server
You can also use email; instructions are obtained by sending
to neos@mcs.anl.gov the message
type UCO
solver PDS

NEOS is a project of the Optimization Technology Center
(Argonne National Laboratory and Northwestern University).
Many have contributed to the development of the NEOS Server.
Collaborators are listed in the URL for the NEOS Server.

Subject: Biorthogonal Spline Scaling Functions
Dear All,
I am trying to perform Petrov-Galerkin approximation of 1D & 2D
nonlinear partial differential equations using biorthogonal spline scaling
functions pairs (Cohen, Daubechies & Feauveau 1992). In this scheme, I
need to know the pointwise values of the {phi,phi*} pairs at grid points.
Does anybody has fortran (or matlab or mathematica) codes for
evaluating the biorthogonal scaling function pairs pointwise in physical
space (as always shown in figures) plus decomposition & reconstruction
scheme using these SCALING FUNCTIONS? I would be grateful for some
suggestions/references for the above mentioned problem.
Thanks very much, and have a nice day,
best regards,
Sithi

Subject: New Book on Parallel Computing in Optimization
Parallel Computing in Optimization
edited by
Athanasios Migdalas
Linkoping Institute of Technology, Sweden
Panos M. Pardalos
Center for Applied Optimization, ISE Dept., University of Florida, USA
Sverre Storoy
University of Bergen, Norway
During the last three decades, breakthroughs in computer
technology have made a tremendous impact on optimization. In
particular, parallel computing has made it possible to solve larger
and computationally more difficult problems.
The book covers recent developments in novel programming and
algorithmic aspects of parallel computing as well as technical
advances in parallel optimization. Each contribution is essentially
expository in nature, but of scholarly treatment. In addition, each
chapter includes a collection of carefully selected problems.
The first two chapters discuss theoretical models for parallel
algorithm design and their complexity. The next chapter gives the
perspective of the programmer practicing parallel algorithm
development on real world platforms. Solving systems of linear
equations efficiently is of great importance not only because they
arise in many scientific and engineering applications but also because
algorithms for solving many optimization problems need to call system
solvers and subroutines (chapters four and five). Chapters six through
thirteen are dedicated to optimization problems and methods. They
include parallel algorithms for network problems, parallel branch and
bound techniques, parallel heuristics for discrete and continuous
problems, decomposition methods, parallel algorithms for variational
inequality problems, parallel algorithms for stochastic programming,
and neural networks.
Audience: Parallel Computing in Optimization is addressed not
only to researchers of mathematical programming, but to all scientists
in various disciplines who use optimization methods in parallel and
multiprocessing environments to model and solve problems.

Academic Conferences On Web (COW)
Introducing a new kind of conferences, which need not registration fee,
use only a computer online. See: http://www.cfm.brown.edu/people/yu/cow/
Why join Conferences on Web?
Academic conferences play an important role in scientific researches.
However, it needs much time and money to take part in a conference.
Thus we can only join those conferences which are most important to us.
With development of internet World Wide Web, it is possible to take
part in a virtual conference online. Although thus a conference is not
as direct as a real conference, it has the advantages of saving time and
money, easily organize, more people around the world can freely take part
in, and help us to catch the most new and widely research projects.
How to join a Conference on Web?
Here I suggest http://www.freeyellow.com/. It is free.
* first you need to register for a membership at http://www.freeyellow.com/:
Click a link at upper right of the page to enter, click
"Click Here For Your FREE 5 Page Web Site Now!", then follow it you can get
a free web site and some other services.
