- Mapping of arbitrary order at curved boundaries. This includes the
possibility of using sub-, iso-, and super-parametric elements, as
well as C1 mappings and shape functions depending on the actual grid
cell.
- A matrix class for conveniently filtering Dirichlet boundary values
without modifying the system matrix.
- A wide variety of target systems by ISO C++ conformance.
Beside these, the list of changes comprises more than 100 new
functions, classes, and bug fixes. A concise list with respect to the
previous version can be found at
http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~deal/news/2001/3.1.0-vs-3.2.0.html

Introduction to Algorithms
second edition
Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein
There are books on algorithms that are rigorous but incomplete and others
that cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms
combines rigor and comprehensiveness.
The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their
design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is
relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The
algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be
readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have
been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical
rigor.
The first edition became the standard reference for professionals and a
widely used text in universities worldwide. The second edition features new
chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized
algorithms, and linear programming, as well as extensive revisions to
virtually every section of the book. In a subtle but important change, loop
invariants are introduced early and used throughout the text to prove
algorithm correctness. Without changing the mathematical and analytic
focus, the authors have moved much of the mathematical foundations material
from Part I to an appendix and have included additional motivational
material at the beginning.
Thomas H. Cormen is Associate Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth
College. Clifford Stein is Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering
and Operations Research at Columbia University. Charles E. Leiserson is
Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ronald L. Rivest is Andrew and Erna

The book contains six technical chapters: three in control,
communication and power systems, one in signal processing and two in
circuit design and simulations. Besides these technical
chapters, the software section contains a chapter on the description
and analysis of a software module for model reduction from
the SLICOT library.
The chapters present overviews of some of the recent developments
in three inter-related areas of control, signal processing and
circuits and were written by leading experts in these fields on
invitation by the editor-in-chief. The invitations were extended
to the authors, based on recommendations made by our distinguished
editorial board. The chapters should be accessible to a wide
interdisciplinary audience: from experts to beginning researchers
and graduate students. It is expected that the book will be an
important reference book for research scientists, practicing

PhD RESEARCH POSITION at the Department of Computer Science,
University of Basel, Switzerland
Starting November 1, 2001 a PhD research position is available
at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Basel,
Switzerland. This position is associated with a new two-year project
entitled "Algebraic Multilevel Preconditioner for Sheet Metal Forming
Problems", which is funded by the Swiss Commission of Technology and
Innovation. This research project is a joint collaboration between
the Department of Computer Science (Dr. Olaf Schenk, Prof. Helmar
Burkhart), the Department of Mathematics (Prof. Marcus Grote), and
a spin-off company of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH)
Zurich, Switzerland.
The objective of this project is to develop new efficient solution
methods for large sparse linear systems of equations, such as those
which typically arise during the numerical simulation of sheet metal
forming problems. This requires the combination of various recent
numerical algorithms, such as parallel algebraic multigrid, sparse
approximate inverses, and direct sparse solvers. Therefore, a good
knowledge of numerical linear algebra, theory of data structures and
algorithms, C, C++, Java, and parallel programming techniques are
prerequisites.
This research project will lead towards a doctoral degree in Computer
Science, provided that all departmental conditions are met. Currently,
financial support is guaranteed for the first two years, with an annual
salary of approximately 60'000 Swiss Francs. Given reasonable progress
of the project, funding is expected to be extended to subsequent years.
Applicants must be fluent in English or German, and should hold either
a Masters of Science (North America) or a Diploma (Europe) in computer
science, applied mathematics, or any related area.
Please send a curriculum vitae in English or German, together with the
names and addresses of two referees to:
Department of Computer Science
Prof. Helmar Burkhart
Klingelbergstrasse 50
CH-4056 Basel
Switzerland
Applications will be accepted till the position is filled.

PhD position at Technical University of Eindhoven
Numerical simulation of air film cooling
Project description
For the optimisation of air film cooling of surfaces exposed to hot gasses,
like in turbine blades, detailed knowledge of the heat transfer processes at
the blade surface and the influence the geometry of the film cooling nozzles
is essential. At the technical university of Eindhoven a joint project
between the departments of Mathematics (Scientific Computing Group) and
Mechanical Engineering (Energy technology) is studying this problem both by
numerical simulation and by experiments. The project is carried out in
cooperation with industry. The numerical part of the approach will consist
of developing a new numerical flow model, which is able to catch the details
of turbulence transition. Instead of using diffusive turbulence models this
new model uses direct numerical simulations (DNS) on those areas where
transition occurs. To ensure sufficient accuracy on all scales so called
local defect correction techniques will be used, where the Scientific
Computing Group has a considerable expertise. Moreover the programming will
be done in a state of the art programming environment, NumLab (which is
object oriented).
Profile of the candidate
The qualified candidate should have completed an academic education (i.e.
have a degree on MSc level or equivalent) in the area of applied and
computational mathematics or physics /engineering with a thorough knowledge
of mathematical and computational tools, in particular fluid dynamics.
Position
The position is a research position for 4 years (after one year an
evaluation of the progress is made, leading to a continuation, if positive).
There is ample possibility to follow courses, though no examination in
either of these is required. Special PhD courses are provided within the
graduate school J.M. Burgers Centrum.
Gross monthly salary varies from DFL 3338 (first year) to DFL 4,511 (fourth
year), plus 8% additional holidays allowance.
