Subject: MATLAB incorportates LAPACK
We have posted new versions of the LAPACK-based numerics library for
use with MATLAB 5.3 (Release 11 of the MathWorks CD). The library
is described in the "Cleve's Corner" article in the Winter 2000 issue
of MATLAB News and Notes. See:
http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletter/clevescorner/winter2000.cleve.shtml
The new versions fix a bug associated with "balancing" in eigenvector
calculations for nonsymmetric matrices. For some matrices, the
statement [V,D] = eig(A) was producing incorrect eigenvectors.
The libraries are available as links from the Cleve's Corner Supplement:
http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletter/clevescorner/win00.cleve.shtml
or via anonymous FTP from
ftp.mathworks.com
in directory pub/tech-support/numerics. Versions are available for Windows,
Solaris on HyperSPARC (sun4m), Solaris on UltraSPARC (sun4u) and Linux on x86.
Please replace any libraries you may have downloaded earlier with these
corrected versions.

CALL FOR PAPERS
International Journal of
APPLIED SCIENCE & COMPUTATIONS (IJASC)
Recent Developments in
Numerical Solution of ODEs.
Submission Deadline: December 17, 2000
The past years have witnessed the rapid development of Numerical
Solution of ODEs. Intenational Journal of Applied Science and
Computation is planning a special issue devoted to researchers and
developers interested in theory, methods and practice aspects of
numerical solution of ODES. In particular, it will focus on four aspects
1) Numerical methods preserving certain qualitative features of the flow
( e.g. symplecticity, unitaryness, isospectrality, phase, etc).
Development of new techniques that allow to gain insight into the
behaviour of numerical methods.
2) Numerical methods for special types of equations (e.g. molecular
dynamics, celestial mechanics, quamtum mechanics) whose demands cannot
be satisfactorily provided by standard numerical integrators.
Experimental fitting tecniques and methods based on Difference equations
are especially wellcome.
3) Parallel Computations. Higher accurate numerical methods and methods
with minimun computational cost.

Training program.
Personal digital assistants, digital appliances, E-books,
wearable computers, wireless networking, and emerging
software infrastructures represent some of the
technologies that are likely to form part of the
everyday interface to a variety of computing environments.
The convergence of these technologies with the Grid - the
evolving information architecture integrating computing,
data exploration, large databases, and remote
instrumentation - creates many new opportunities for
ubiquitous access to the nation's high performance
computing infrastructure. This workshop will bring
together people from the HPC community to exchange
information about this future.
There will be a registration fee of $100, and some travel
assistance for students may be available.

RESEARCH POSITION IN NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire
Fixed Term (4 years with possible extension)
A research position is available within the Numerical Analysis Group
at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory of the Central Laboratory of
the Research Councils. Duties will involve performing independent
but relevant research, with the goal of publication in the open
literature and presenting the results at national and international
conferences. Duties will include the production of high-quality
numerical software connected with this research and the promotion of
the Group's activities within the UK academic community. There will
also be the opportunity to lecture in occasional Laboratory courses
on numerical analysis and computing areas.

analysis or a closely related mathematical area. Preference will be
given to candidates with a high international profile whose research
interests overlap those of existing members of the Group,
particularly in the solution of large-scale linear or nonlinear
equations, and of eigenvalue and numerical optimization problems.
Although the successful applicant will be expected to interact with
other members of the Group, strong evidence of the ability to work
independently will be expected. Considerable experience of
programming in Fortran and of using standard numerical analysis
libraries such as BLAS and LAPACK is essential. Additional
programming skills will be considered an advantage. Further
information on the Group can be found on

The salary range is between 18,620 and 26,600 pounds (Band 5) or
23,240 and 33,200 pounds (Band 4), depending on qualifications and
experience. A non-contributory pension scheme and a generous leave
allowance are offered.

meeting was "General Scalable Multigrid Methods: Algebraic Algorithms and
Parallel Techniques". The seven papers in this volume were presented there
