Subject: Isogeometric Analysis Software

The GeoPDEs software suite for research on
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) has been released.

GeoPDEs is a suite of free software tools for research on IGA,
being developed and maintained as a cooperation of IMATI,
Universita' di Pavia and Politecnico di Milano. It has been
implemented in Octave, and is fully compatible with Matlab.

GeoPDEs has been written with two main objectives. First, to
serve as an entry point for beginners interested in understanding
the basic issues involved in the implementation of an IGA code.
Second, to provide a rapid prototyping and testing tool for new
IGA algoritmhs and methods.

The software is available at
http://geopdes.sourceforge.net

Subject: New Book, Sparse and Redundant Representations

The following book is published:

Sparse and Redundant Representations: From Theory to Applications
in Signal and Image Processing by Michael Elad
(http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~elad/), 1st Edition, 2010.

[XX, 376 p. 161 illus., 41 in color., Hardcover, ISBN:
978-1-4419-7010-7]

More information:
http://www.springer.com/mathematics/analysis/book/978-1-4419-7010-7

The field of sparse and redundant representation modeling has
gone through a major revolution in the past two decades. Today,
sparsity and redundancy are central, leading to state-of-the-art
results in various disciplines. This book provides a
comprehensive view of this topic, and its use in signal and image
processing. It offers a systematic exposure to the theoretical
foundations of this data model, the numerical aspects of the
involved algorithms, and the signal and image processing
applications that benefit from these advancements. Written as a
textbook for a graduate course for engineering students, this
book can also be used as an easy entry point for readers
interested in stepping into this field, and for others already
active in this area that are interested in expanding their
understanding and knowledge. The book is accompanied by a Matlab
software package that reproduces most of the results demonstrated
in the book. A link to the free software is available on
springer.com.

Subject: New Book, Advanced Inequalities

DVANCED INEQUALITIES (World Scientific)

by George A Anastassiou (University of Memphis, USA)

This monograph presents univariate and multivariate classical
analyses of advanced inequalities. This treatise is a
culmination of the author's last thirteen years of research
work. The chapters are self-contained and several advanced
courses can be taught out of this book. Extensive background and
motivations are given in each chapter with a comprehensive list
of references given at the end.

The topics covered are wide-ranging and diverse. Recent advances
on Ostrowski type inequalities, Opial type inequalities, Poincare
and Sobolev type inequalities, and Hardy-Opial type inequalities
are examined. Works on ordinary and distributional Taylor
formulae with estimates for their remainders and applications as
well as Chebyshev-Gruss, Gruss and Comparison of Means
inequalities are studied. The results presented are mostly
optimal, that is the inequalities are sharp and
attained. Applications in many areas of pure and applied
mathematics, such as mathematical analysis, probability, ordinary
and partial differential equations, numerical analysis,
information theory, etc., are explored in detail, as such this
monograph is suitable for researchers and graduate students. It
will be a useful teaching material at seminars as well as an
invaluable reference source in all science libraries.

Readership: Graduate students and researchers in pure mathematics
and applied mathematics. 450pp

Subject: New Book, Symplectic Geometric Algorithms for Hamiltonian Systems

The following book

Feng, Kang, Qin, Mengzhao
Symplectic Geometric Algorithms for Hamiltonian Systems

jointly published with Zhejiang Publishing United Group Zhejiang
Science and Technology Publishing House has been published.

This book will be useful not only for numerical analysts, but
also for those in theoretical physics, computational chemistry,
celestial mechanics, etc. The book generalizes and develops the
generating function and Hamilton-Jacobi equation theory from the
perspective of the symplectic geometry and symplectic algebra. It
will be a useful resource for engineers and scientists in the
fields of quantum theory, astrophysics, atomic and molecular
dynamics, climate prediction, oil exploration, etc. Therefore a
systematic research and development of numerical methodology for
Hamiltonian systems is well motivated. Were it successful, it
would imply wide-ranging applications.
