Subject: Trefethen ODE/PDE Textbook

Recently I have received many inquiries concerning my unpublished
textbook "Finite Difference and Spectral Methods for Ordinary and
Partial Differential Equations," the basis of graduate courses
taught at MIT and Cornell and a few other places since 1985.
Here's the status: the book has not been finished, and I do not
expect to finish it in the next few years. However, the portion
that exists (325 pages, with numerous exercises) is in reasonably
polished form and suitable for classroom use.

Tired of xeroxing copies on an individual basis, I have decided to
have this unfinished book printed and bound for general availability.
To obtain a copy, send me 22 US dollars or 15 pounds sterling (this
includes shipping charges). A table of contents and excerpts from
the book are available from my homepage (URL below). Not all of the
book is in PostScript, so it would not be possible to make it fully
available on the Web.

Subject: Parallel Linear Algebra Package, PLAPACK

We are approaching the beta release of our new package, Parallel
Linear Algebra Package (PLAPACK). The primary differences between
this library and earlier libraries include the adoption of a more
application friendly data distribution (Physically Based Matrix
Distribution) and a programming style that avoids the use of indices.
We believe this approach makes implementation of parallel dense linear
algebra libraries in some sense simpler than MATLAB script language.

While the beta release will likely not happen until early September,
we believe the Users' Guide may be of some use to those who teach
practical courses on the subject this fall. For this reason, we make
the manuscript in preparation available via the PLAPACK webpage:

http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/rvdg/plapack

By filling out the guestbook, one can request to become a beta site.

Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 12:18:41 -0500 (CDT)
Subject: Printed Circuit and Semiconductor Simulation Code Needed

Hi Folks,

I need to solve a 3-dimensional Laplace equation on the domain

0 < x < x_0 (x_0 << y_0)
0 < y < y_0
-\infty < z < +\infty,

with the following boundary conditions: periodicity in z with alternating
Neumann and Dirichlet conditions on the x=0 plane. I have a mixture of
Neumann and Dirichlet conditions along x- and y-directions.

This problem originates from calculating electrostatic parameters of a long
(z) thin (x) cable made of narrow (y) metal strips glued to the dielectric.
The x=0 plane is made of a metal mesh, which gives rise to periodicity in
boundary conditions on x=0 plane and along the z-direction.

Could anyone point me toward available programs for solving this problem
with <5% accuracy. This should be a standard problem of designing printed
circuits or large semiconductor devices.

Thanks so much in advance!

To be held at
The Delft University of Technology,
Delft, The Netherlands

This second announcement contains more information about main speakers
and already submitted papers, plus registration information.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: August 9, 1996.

Aim of the workshop

Recent progress in computer technology on the one hand and algorithms
or optimization on the other hand has led to a dramatic increase of the
efficiency of solution methods for a wide class of optimization
problems. The aim of the workshop is to bring together some of the most
active researchers working on the design and implementation of
optimization algorithms.
We aim to cover the latest algorithmic developments, complexity results
and implementation aspects, including the required tools from numerical
algebra.
Much attention will be given to the recent developments in semidefinite
optimization and its relevance for a wide range of practical
applications in fields such as combinatorial optimization, engineering,
design, matrix inequalities in systems and control theory, and matrix
completion problems.

Subject: Workshop on Evolutionary Algorithms

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SUPERCOMPUTER INSTITUTE
WORKSHOP ON EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS

Dates: October 21-25, 1996

Conference Site: Institute for Mathematics and its Applications
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, Minnesota

Sponsors: Institute for Mathematics and its Applications
Supercomputer Institute

Overview:

The workshop will bring together key researchers for a concentrated
discussion of theory and applications of evolutionary algorithms,
including genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, and evolutionary
programming. The workshop will be organized around a limited number of
plenary lectures with generous blocks of time for interactive discussion
sessions.

The workshop will begin with a series of expository talks that overview
the foundations of these fields and define critical issues to be
discussed during the workshop. A major goal is to use discussion time to
communicate recent research results and to bridge the gap between theory
and applications. The workshop will also assess the state of the current
mathematical underpinning of the field and reconcile some of the diverse
theoretical perspectives of the various participants. The workshop will
emphasize high-performance computing using parallel evolutionary
algorithms and hybrid algorithms in critical state-of-the-art applications.

The workshop will be of interest to:

* practitioners from industry with applications in
search, optimization, and machine learning
* mathematicians working in dynamical systems and Markov processes
* people interested in application areas and algorithms for
high-performance computing
