Subject: Inversion of Elliptic Integral

Inversion of Elliptic Integral

Does anyone know how to invert an incomplete elliptic integral of the second
kind E(p;phi)? I need to obtain phi as a function of E. (This problem would
be very easy for the case of an integral of the first kind F(p;phi), I would
just use the Jacobian elliptic function sn). An expansion in the region where
the modulus p approaches unity and phi approaches pi/2 would be good enough.

Subject: New Versions of SparseLib++ and IML++ Available

New versions of C++ sparse matrix codes and iterative solvers are now available:

SparseLib++ v. 1.3: Numerical Sparse Matrix Classes in C++

SparseLib++ is a C++ class library for efficient sparse matrix computations
across various computational platforms. The software package consists of
matrix objects representing several sparse storage formats (in this release:
compressed row, compressed column and coordinate formats), providing basic
functionality for managing sparse matrices, together with efficient kernel
mathematical operations (e.g. sparse matrix-vector multiply) based on the
Level 3 Sparse BLAS. Included in the package are several preconditioners
commonly used in iterative solvers for linear systems of equations.
There is also support for sparse matrix I/O with files in either
free-form text or Harwell Boeing format.


IML++ v. 1.0 : Iterative Methods Library in C++

IML++ is a C++ templated library of iterative methods for solving
both symmetric and nonsymmetric linear systems of equations. The algorithms
are fully templated in that the same source code works for dense, sparse,
and distributed matrices. Methods for QMR, GMRES, CG, BiCG, BiCGSTAB,
Richardson, and Chebyshev iterations are provided. These codes can be
use with virtually _any_ C++ matrix/vector class; examples with SparseLib++
are provided.

Subject: Availability of ScaLAPACK, the PBLAS, and the BLACS

Availability of ScaLAPACK, the PBLAS, and the BLACS

The first public release of ScaLAPACK, the PBLAS, and the BLACS is now
available on netlib. Version 1.0 of ScaLAPACK, the distributed memory
version of LAPACK, includes factorization and solve routines for LU, QR,
and Cholesky; reduction routines for Hessenberg form, tridiagonal form,
and bidiagonal form; QR with column pivoting, and RQ, LQ, and QL
factorizations; triangular inversion; and the symmetric eigenproblem.
With the exception of the symmetric eigenproblem, the current version of
ScaLAPACK is available in four precisions: single precision real, double
precision real, single precision complex, and double precision complex.
(At the present time, the symmetric eigenproblem is only available in double
precision real.)

The ScaLAPACK routines are built using the sequential BLAS, the BLACS,
and the PBLAS modules. ScaLAPACK has been ported to Intel i860/Paragon
machines, IBM SP series, Thinking Machines' CM-5, and PVM,
and an MPI version will be available in the near future.

ScaLAPACK is built on a set of routines called the PBLAS. The PBLAS
combine both the data communication and computation into one routine,
having a software interface that is very similar to the BLAS interface.

The data communication in the PBLAS is in turn provided by a set of
routines called the BLACS (Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subroutines).
The BLACS provides a portable message-passing interface targeted at
linear algebra computations with an user interface similar to that
of the BLAS. Several vendors are producing optimized versions of
the BLACS (e.g. Cray, IBM, and Meiko).

Please note that this "official" release is not compatible with
previous test releases. If you have retrieved a previous version,
we recommend that you download a fresh version.

For more information on the availability of each of these packages and
their documentation, consult the scalapack or blacs indexes on netlib.

Efficient handling of real numbers in a computer is not yet solved in a
satisfying way. The "floating point" formats most often used in scientific
computing usually give sufficient results, but some reliability problems
can occur. Program portability problems could imply some rewriting
costs: some programs which work well with a machine, could become
unreliable with another one. Users (from computer algebra, algorithmic
geometry, ...) may need results far more accurate (even "exact") than
the ones obtained with usual number systems. Many members of the scientific
community are concerned by this problem, they could share their knowledge and
come up with new solutions. But they do not have the opportunity to meet, they
do not belong to the same scientific fields (computer science, number
theory, numerical analysis, computer algebra...) and they have a different
vocabulary. The aim is to put them together during this meeting (the
"rule of the game" should be that everybody should speak a common language), in
order to establish some collaborations.

Subject: Workshop on Global Optimization

First Announcement
THIRD WORKSHOP ON GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION

Many technical, environmental and economic problems have challenging
optimizational aspects which require reliable and efficient solution
methods. A substantial part of such problems belongs to the class of
nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problems where standard
optimization methods fail since local optima different from the
global ones (which we aim to find) exists (global optimization).

The workshop focuses on theoretical, modelling and algorithmic issues
of global optimization problems with special emphasis to their
real-life applications. The workshop aims to discuss and develop
furthermost recent results in the wide range of the many diverse
approaches to global optimization problems.

After the first (1985) and the second (1990) Workshops held in
Sopron, Hungary, we are glad to announce the Third Workshop on Global
Optimization. From our preliminary discussions at various occasions
in the last two years we know that the overwhelming majority of the
earlier participants and many other colleagues are interested. Thus
we look forward to a meeting which is very likely to match or even
surpass the very successful two earlier meetings.

ANNOUNCING ...

Seventh Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms
(SODA), sponsored by ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and
Computation Theory and SIAM Activity Group on Discrete
Mathematics

January 28-30, 1996, Sheraton Colony Square Hotel
Atlanta, Georgia

CALL FOR PAPERS

This symposium concerns research on the use, design, and analysis
of efficient algorithms and data structures, in areas including,
but not limited to:

Combinatorial Structures; Computational Biology; Computational
Geometry; Databases and Information Retrieval; Discrete
Optimization; Graphs and Networks; Machine Learning; Number
Theory and Algebra; On-line Problems; Pattern Matching and Data
Compression; Random Structures; and Symbolic Computation.

The algorithms may be sequential, distributed, or parallel. They
may be analyzed either mathematically or by rigorous
computational experiments. In either case, the selection of
papers will be based on the extent to which the results yield new
insights for the design of efficient algorithms.

The program committee especially encourages submissions which
report on experimental and applied research. Special
consideration will be given to work that is motivated by
real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected
to show convincingly that the algorithms or data structures
discussed are useful and efficient in a practical setting.

development of a user-friendly toolbox for micromechanical analysis
and design of composites. The toolbox will include parallel adaptive
PDE solvers (finite element, domain decomposition, multigrid, and fast
multipole methods) supported by relevant data structure and graphic
interfaces. Components of the toolbox will be developed from similar
codes written for other applications, as well as new codes. Code
development will involve a mixture of C++, C, and Fortran. Platforms
include MPP systems and networks of workstations.

Requirements: PhD in a relevant field (applied mathematics, computer
sciences, engineering, physics), hands-on experience with the
development of large computer codes, fluency in numerical methods that
work in three dimensions. Experience with parallel computing is highly
desirable. Good communication skills and ability to work as part of a
team are essential.

The position is for two years, with a possibility for one additional
year. The position will be filled as soon as possible. Competitive
salary.
