Subject: Conjugate Gradients in Function Spaces
I got many responses to my query about conjugate gradients
in function spaces; a summary of the responses and a list
of references can be found at
http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~neum/contrib/cgcompact.txt
The bottom line is as follows:
CG can be applied to any linear variational problem of the form
Find u in V so that:
a(u,v)=L(v), for all v in V,
where V is a real Hilbert space with norm ||.||,
a:VxV--->R is bilinear, continuous, symmetric with
a(v,v) \ge c||v||^2 for all v in V, with c>0,
and L:V--->R is linear and continuous.
The proof of the "standard" convergence rate estimate goes as
for matrices, but one needs to use the spectral theory for
self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space. If I-A is compact,
the convergence is superlinear, due to the clustering of
eigenvalues at 1.

Subject: Eigenvalues of a Symmetric Matrix with Constraints
Dear NA-NETters
In my work on correlation matrices with coupled map lattices, I come
across real-symmetric matrices of order n which have the additional
constraint that (a) all the leading diagonal elements are 1 and
(b) all the elements of a given off-diagonal are all the same.
It has the following form :
_ _
| 1 a1 a2 a3 a4 ..... |
| a1 1 a1 a2 a3 ..... |
| a2 a1 1 a1 a2 ..... |
| a3 a2 a1 1 a1 ..... |
| a4 a3 a2 a1 1 ..... |
|_ ............... _|
For a tridiagonal matrix of this structure, analytical expression
exists for its spectra. I would like to know if such an exact or even
an approximate formula is known for the spectra of the matrix given
above. Can something be said about the spectra, if the elements
a1, a2, a3 .... are all less than 1 ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: Looking for Data About the Reliability of Scientific Calculations
Dear NA community:
I am researching to what extent the numerical results published in the
scientific literature can be regarded as reliable, and am writing you to ask
for any data, experience, and opinions you have on this issue. I am
currently pursueing a Ph.D. in physics after a career in computer science
which focused on the reliability of distributed middleware used by large
enterprises. In my new shoes as a physicist I am confused by the lack of
discussion within the physics community about bugs and about ways of
ensuring the reliability of published numerical results. It seems that
while many physics articles use software to compute various results, perhaps
few authors have implemented the most basic practices for ensuring its
quality - whether planned and repeatable test suites, source code control,
or publication of their code, scripts, and configuration files. (Even when
an author uses lapack or mathematica which are themselves tested, the code,
scripts, and configuration files written by the author may not be tested,
archived, or published.) Moreover, there does not appear to be a structure
for reporting bugs, documenting them, or discussing their prevention. It's
not clear to me how much this is specific to the physics community, or
instead diffused throughout the scientific community.
Perhaps there are some mitigating factors which allow the physics community
to do without these basic practices: perhaps it is more naturally
self-correcting, through the mutual review of many colleagues. Or perhaps
there is an alternative, informal set of practices which are passed along by
word of mouth. Et cetera.
Unfortunately, I have very little data, other than a documentable lack of
discussion of these issues within the physics literature, and some
individual conversations with my colleagues. If any of you has any
additional data, opinions, or experience to share with me, I would really
really appreciate it.
Thank you,

Efficient transfer between science and society is crucial for their future
development. The rapid progress of information technology and computer
systems offers a large potential and new perspectives for solving complex
problems. Mathematical modelling and simulation have become important tools
not only in scientific investigations but also in analysing, planning and
controlling technological and economic processes. Mathematics, imbedded in
an interdisciplinary concept, has become a key technology.
The book covers the results of a variety of major projects in industrial
mathematics following an initiative of the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research. All projects are collaborations of industrial
companies and university-based researchers, and range from automotive
industry to computer technology and medical visualisation. In general, the
projects presented in this volume prove that new mathematical ideas and
methods can be decisive for the solution of industrial and economic
problems.

Subject: Issue of LAA on Eigenvalue Problems
The final call for papers for the Special issue of
LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS
on Large Scale Linear and Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems.
The deadline for submission of papers is extended to May 15, 2003, and
the special issue is expected to be published in 2004. Papers should be
sent to any of its special editors, preferably by email in the
PostScript format.
CALL FOR PAPERS:
In many different application areas there is an increasing and pressing
need for new theory and numerical techniques for solving very large
linear and nonlinear eigenvalue problems.
Recent advances in computer hardware make it feasible to solve
enormously large eigenvalue problems with millions of unknowns, but this
increase in the problem size leads to several new numerical challenges.
First, classical eigenvalue solvers that do not scale linearly with the
problem size have become very expensive for practical problems. This has
increased attention to alternative approaches such as preconditioning
for eigenvalue problems. Secondly, due to the architecture of modern
computers, there is a demand for parallel algorithms that are well
scalable with respect to the number of computing nodes. Moreover the
growth of the problem size often leads to badly conditioned problems,
which require increased algorithm stability and novel tools to estimate
the accuracy of computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In some
large-scale applications, one needs to find eigenpairs of a matrix that
is available only implicitly through a function that computes the
corresponding vector-matrix product for a given vector, which thus calls
for "matrix-free" eigensolvers.
This special issue will be open for all papers with significant new
results in Large Scale Linear and Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems where
either linear algebraic methods play an important role or new tools and
problems of linear algebraic nature are presented. In addition, surveys
papers are very welcome, in particular on specific application areas
where the eigenvalue problems are especially challenging because of the
large size.
Papers must meet the publication standards of Linear Algebra and Its
Applications and will be refereed in the usual way.

and follow link to "Workshops on Automatic Differentiation"
This 2-day workshop is the latest in a series that provides a forum
for the presentation of theoretical developments in and applications
of Automatic Differentiation (AD) and adjoint methods.
SPECIAL SESSIONS
For this particular workshop, as well as our usual open sessions,
we are holding 2 special sessions on "Aerospace Applications of AD &
Adjoints" and "AD of C++". We are particularly keen to receive
contributions from researchers active in these two areas.
AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS of AD & ADJOINTS
The use of both forward sensitivity analysis and adjoint design
methodologies are currently receiving particular attention in the
Aerospace community. This special session of the workshop will focus
on present applications and future requirements for AD in this
demanding area.
Invited Speaker -
Larry Green, NASA Langley Research Center, USA (to be confirmed)
Contributions From -
David Standingford, BAE SYSTEMS ATC-Sowerby, UK -
"Making use of adjoint sensitivities in aerodynamic design",
Shaun Forth, Cranfield University, UK -
"Automatic Differentiation of an industrial,
unstructured-mesh CFD solver"
AD OF C++
Presently, most large scale applications of AD have been made to
code written in Fortran. The lack of object-oriented
features such as polymorphism and inheritance in Fortran is only now
being addressed with the awaited Fortran 2000 standard. This has led
to the recent development of many large scale application codes in
C++. This special session is devoted to: the requirements for C++ AD
tools; the implementation of current C++ AD tools; and AD applications
using C++ AD tools.
Invited Speaker -
