Subject: Rank-one Modification of Real Nonsymmetric Matrices
Dear NA Digest readers,
Given a real nonsymmetric matrix A and a second matrix B which
is a rank-one (or even higher) modification of the original matrix A.
Is there any relationship between the eigenvalues of A and B ?
I am looking into ways on how to find a suitable starting matrix
for a homotopy method applied to nonsymmetric matrices.
Does anyone know of any references for this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Charles University Library
Dear Colleagues,
I am including below a call for assistance for the library of the Faculty of
Mathematics and Physics at Charles University, which was severely damaged by the
recent floods. I encourage you to consider: (1) any personal donations that you,
or your colleagues, can make, and (2) asking your home institution to provide
support.
I am visiting Charles University this semester, and the damage to the library,
and the rest of the Karlin district, is immense. While photographs don't really
do justice to the situation, some pictures and additional information are
available at: http://stoprog.org
Sincerely,
David Morton
Czech Republic, and Prague in particular, was heavily hit by recent floods.
The largest Czech mathematical library was located in the building of the
Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University at Karlin, the most
damaged part of Prague. It contained books and journals from all fields of pure
and applied mathematics, statistics, numerical analysis and computer science.
About two thirds of books and journals in the library were heavily damaged and,
despite all efforts, are almost surely lost. Among them were five thousands of
books and monographs from recent decades, almost 400 titles of journals; there
were also thousands of historical books from the last three centuries, which
cannot be bought any more (including, e.g., the first edition of collected works
of Cauchy, Weierstrass and Riemann). Taking into account that the whole country
was extensively damaged by the flood, we must expect that to collect money
needed for the reconstruction of the library will be very difficult. While we
can recover texts needed for undergraduate study, we are not able to buy again
books needed for graduate and postgraduate students as well as books and
journals needed for research.
In our difficult situation, we would like to ask you for help. If you are
in a position to provide us assistance, a donation of extra copies of books and
journals would be an immense assistance for us. In order to make a donation of
books or journals, please contact Marketa Jirickova via:
MARKETA.JIRICKOVA@MFF.CUNI.CZ
It is also possible to make a financial contribution to the renewal of the
library, which is a particularly efficient way to help to recover exactly what
we need. Money can be sent either by a check payable to
Charles University in Praha, Karlin Library
Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
Hospodarske odd.
Ke Karlovu 3
121 16 Praha 2
Czech Republic
or by a money transfer to the following account:
CSOB, Prague 1, Na Porici 24
account No. 01256280/0300
Our reference: 999
SWIFT: CEKO CZ PP PRA
In order to minimize shipping costs regional centers have been developed to
collect books and journals. For example, there are six centers in the US, and
there is free shipping (via CSA, Czech Airlines) from these centers to Prague.
There is a regional center in Germany, and others may develop as needed. For
details again see http://stoprog.org
Gifts of books or money contributions are free of tax in the Czech Republic
in case we have a letter declaring that the gift was sent to help the library of
the faculty.
Any help from your side would be very welcome and highly appreciated.

Subject: Republished Books, Lanczos Algorithms
Dear NA Community:
Lanczos Algorithms for Large 'Symmetric'
Eigenvalue Computations. Volumes 1 and 2
As announced by SIAM this month, Volume 1: Theory: of the
two-volume book, Lanczos Algorithms for Large Symmetric
Eigenvalue Computations, by Jane K. Cullum and Ralph A.
Willoughby, has been republished by SIAM as Volume 41 in
the SIAM Series, Classics in Applied Mathematics. It is
available for purchase from SIAM as ISBN 0-89871-523-7.
This book was originally published by Birkhauser in 1985.
Volume 2: Programs: is now available 'for free' on NetLib
at the following URL:
http://www.netlib.org/lanczos/
Volume 2 contains the documentation for and the listings
of the original Fortran implementations of the algorithms
which are described in Volume 1. The following types of
algorithms are included:
1. Real Symmetric
2. Hermitian
3. Factored Inverse, Real Symmetric
4. Generalized Real Symmetric
5. Complex Symmetric
6. Singular Value/Vector
There are also Block Lanczos algorithms for Real Symmetric
and for Factored Inverse, Real Symmetric Problems.
Volume 2 can be downloaded either in full or in pieces,
by Chapter. The original versions of the codes which
are listed in Volume 2 but which are not already included
in the 'lanczos' section of the NetLib repository will be
added shortly. The web version of Volume 2 also contains
a short Errata for Volume 1.
This summer, Leonard Hoffnung (Math. Dept, U. Kentucky),
Spencer Shellman, (Comp. Sc. Dept, U. Utah) and I have
been working on Fortran90 uni-processor and MPI parallel
versions of some of the codes which are listed in
Volume 2. This work will continue at a slower pace.
The contributions of Hoffnung and Shellman have been
supported by a U.S. Department of Energy, Office of
Science, ASCR, MICS, Los Alamos Applied Mathematical
Sciences Program grant.
Much work remains to be done on these codes. As we
complete each code and the related documentation, it
will be added to the 'lanczos' subdirectory in NetLib.

Subject: New Book, Front Tracking for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
Springer-Verlag is pleased to announce the publication of Front Tracking
for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws by Helge Holden and Nils Henrik
Riseboro in our Applied Mathematics Sciences series. Hyperbolic
conservation laws are central in the theory of nonlinear partial
differential equations, and in many applications in science and
technology. In this book the reader is given a detailed, rigorous, and
self-contained presentation of the theory of hyperbolic conservation
laws from the basic theory up to the research front. The approach is
constructive, and the mathematical approach using front tracking can be
applied directly as a numerical method. After a short introduction on
the fundamental properties of conservation laws, the theory of scalar
conservation laws in one dimension is treated in detail, showing the
stability of the Cauchy problem using front tracking. The extension to
multidimensional scalar conservation laws is obtained using dimensional
splitting. Inhomogeneous equations and equations with diffusive terms
are included as well as a discussion of convergence rates. The classical
theory of Kruzkov and Kuznetsov is covered. Systems of conservation laws
in one dimension are treated in detail, starting with the solution of
the Riemann problem. Solutions of the Cauchy problem are proved to exist
in a constructive manner using front tracking, amenable to numerical
computations. The book includes a detailed discussion of the very recent
proof of wellposedness of the Cauchy problem for one-dimensional
hyperbolic conservation laws. The book includes a chapter on traditional
finite difference methods for hyperbolic conservation laws with error
estimates and a section on measure valued solutions. Extensive examples
are given, and many exercises are included with hints and answers.
Additional background material not easily available elsewhere is given
in appendices. For more information, please see

The first workshop on Model Reduction was held at the Eindhoven
University of Technology on 8-9 October 2001.
Model reduction is a topic which receives growing attention, both in the
mathematics community and in various application areas, such as electronics,
cardiovascular, electromagnetic, environment, fluid-dynamics and naval.
The common denominator are the mathematical techniques for model reduction,
both on the algebraic and operator level, i.e. coupling among differential
models characterized by different complexity.
The programme also covers wide area of model reduction, i.e., techniques for
PDEs, FEM, FVM and for ODEs such as algebraic techniques for effective
preconditioning.
