Subject: Diagonizable Nonlinear Equations
I have a question concerning a class of coupled nonlinear algebraic
equations. Suppose that the nonlinearity can be factored out, in the
sense that the system can be written
A v = f(v1,v2, ...vN) v
where A is an N by N matrix, v a vector of length N,
and f a nonlinear function of N variables.
Then the system can be solved by
1) Diagonalizing A
This gives the allowed values of f as the eigenvalues of A
and also reduces the N unknowns (v1, v2, ...) to a single
multiplicative factor, so that f becomes a nonlinear
function of a single scalar variable, say v1.
2) Solving f(v1) = lambda
Thus solving this special kind of multidimensional nonlinear system
can be accomplished by diagonalizing a matrix and solving a
nonlinear equation of one variable.
My question is: Is there a name for this kind of system?
Is there a reference in the literature?
Thank you.

Subject: New book, Numerical Computing with IEEE Arithmetic
Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to announce the publication of my new book,
Numerical Computing with IEEE Floating Point Arithmetic
published this month by SIAM.
It is my hope that this short book (104 pages, student price $20) will be
useful as a supplement to more traditional textbooks for courses in
scientific computing, numerical analysis and computer architecture.
As well as a detailed discussion of the IEEE binary floating point standard,
including correctly rounded arithmetic and the IEEE philosophy on exceptions,
topics include the floating point architecture of the Intel microprocessors,
a discussion of programming language support for the standard, and an
introduction to the key concepts of cancellation, conditioning and stability.
The book includes 1 Theorem, 1 Rule of Thumb, and 101 Exercises.
It should be accessible to any reader with an interest in computers and
mathematics. The style is not one of a traditional text book. There is enough
variety of content that all but the most expert readers should find something
of interest.
More details are available at
http://www.siam.org/catalog/mcc07/ot76.htm
Complimentary copies for possible course adoption can be requested at
http://www.siam.org/books/adopt.htm
Please send me any comments or questions that you may have.
Thanks for your attention.

Call for Contributions and Participation
WORKSHOP
Discretization of continuous operators:
regular and fractal lattices
June 27.-29, 2001
Bielefeld University
Bielefeld, Germany

FURTHER INFORMATION
http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~beyn/workshop2001/index.html
TOPICS
The central topics of this workshop are continuous and time dependent
diffusion operators and their discrete counterparts on smooth as well as
on highly irregular domains. The idea of the meeting is to bring together
researchers who work on corresponding discretization problems from two
complementing perspectives.
One aspect is the theory of Numerical Dynamics that has emerged over the
last 20 years. Its principal goal is to analyze the effects of time
discretizations on trajectories, invariant manifolds and more general
dynamic invariants such as Lyapunov exponents. While the theory for
ODE's is fairly well developed there are only partial results for parabolic
systems on smooth domains which cover discretization in time as well as in
space. The main theme here is to understand in detail the transition from
infinite dimensional to finite dimensional dynamical systems.
For example, it can happen that replacing smooth domains by regular lattices
creates new phenomena that are of truly discrete nature.
The other perspective occurs in potential theory for highly irregular
domains such as fractals. On their finite approximations
(pre-fractals) one knows how to define diffusion. The main problem
then is to construct limiting diffusion operators exhibiting the
self-similarities of the underlying fractal. Classical and fractal
operators can be treated in a joint framework but the latter show
non-classical effects in terms of scaling and fluctuations.
Moreover, one would like to look for corresponding effects in
time-dependent nonlinear reaction diffusion systems.
The existence and uniqueness of several equations has been
established on finitely ramified fractals as for example the
Sierpinski gasket.

The 2001 JOHN H. BARRETT MEMORIAL LECTURES
NEW DIRECTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS
May 10-12, 2001
The University of Tennessee
Knoxville, TN 37996, USA
We are pleased to announce that the 2001 John H. Barrett Memorial Lectures,
"New Directions and Developments in Computational Mathematics", has been
scheduled to take place on the campus of the University of Tennessee at
Knoxville from May 10-12, 2001. The focus of the Lectures will be parallel
numerical algorithms for partial differential equations and their
implementations and applications.
The Barrett Lectures at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville were established
in honor of John H. Barrett, a distinguished researcher in ordinary differential
equations and department head at the time of his death in 1969. The Lectures
have been held annually since 1972. Each year a different topic is chosen,
representing the research interests of the mathematics faculty of the
University of Tennessee. Since 1993 the Lectures have consisted of three
one-hour survey talks by each of three leading researchers representing
different themes/directions in a single field, and up to ten additional
invited one-hour talks. They attract wide interest, with an audience of
between 30 and 40 participants from the whole country, in addition to faculty
and students from Knoxville and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They
represent one of the few long standing lecture series in mathematics in
the southeastern United States.
Main Speakers
David Keyes (ICASE, Old Dominion University)
Mary Wheeler (University of Texas at Austin )
Jinchao Xu (Penn State University )

The Barrett Lectures are partially funded by a grant from Tennessee
Science Alliance, and have often received additional support from the National
Science Foundation in the past. We anticipate receiving some financial assistance
from the NSF for supporting graduate students and junior researchers
who do not have research grants. For more information, please contact

Special Issue of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis
MATRIX COMPUTATIONS AND STATISTICS
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 1, 2001
The interaction between matrix computations and statistics has had a
major impact on both fields. Historically, there is the relationship between
the Gauss-Markov linear model and least squares, and that between singular
values and principal components. In the last two decades, this interaction has been enhanced by the development of total least squares and
errors-in-variables problems, and the recent surge in interest in
latent semantic indexing.
For these reasons, the journal Computational Statistics and Data Analysis
will have a special issue on Matrix Computations and Statistics.
Submissions are welcome in the following areas: classical linear least squares,
total least squares, matrix computations for principal components and factor
analysis, matrix computations in genetics, regularization techniques,
clustering and classification, text and data mining applications, probabilistic
IR models, and hypertext models. We also welcome submissions that
do not fit into these areas if they use matrix computations for a statistical
application.
