Subject: Solution of Singular Eigenvalue Problem

In V.03, # 26, (24 June 2003), I made the following inquiry to NA Digest:

> We have NxN matrices A,B,C,D with known entries. We wish to find the
> eigenvalues x and eigenvectors v that satisfy
> lim_{q->0} [ A + qB + x(C + qD)] v = 0.
> If A and C are general, then this is just a generalized eigenvalue problem
> with q=0. In the case at hand, the eigenvalue problem is singular at q=0,
> because A and C have a common null space. However, for general q, the
> problem is nonsingular, so the limit values must exist.
>
> I would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem in a stable and
> efficient manner, by say, converting it to a nonsingular eigenvalue problem.

I received a number of replies, and so I thought it might be of interest to
post the solution. Ming Gu of U.C. Berkeley provided the best hint, which
resulted in the following algorithm.

First, use singular value decomopsition to find the common null space of
A and C. (In Matlab, use [U,S,V]=svd([A;C]);) So V=[M N] is orthogonal,
and A*N=C*N=0. Then, using the change of variable for the eigenvector
to v=[M N]w = M*w1 + N*w2, we have the equivalent nonsingular eigenvector
problem:
( [A*M B*N] + x*[C*M D*N] ) [w1; q*w2] = 0.

Thanks to all those who sent suggestions. Any improvements or alternatives
to this approach would still be welcome.

Subject: New Book on Compressible Flow

Mathematical and Computational Methods for Compressible Flow

Miloslav Feistauer, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University,
Prague, Czech Republic, Jiri Felcman, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics,
Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, and Ivan Straskraba,
Mathematical Institute, Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic, Prague, Czech
Republic.

This book is concerned with mathematical and numerical methods for
compressible flow. It aims to provide the reader with a sufficiently
detailed and extensive, mathematically precise, but comprehensible guide,
through a wide spectrum of mathematical and computational methods used in
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the numerical simulation of
compressible flow.

Up-to-date techniques applied in the numerical solution of inviscid as well
as viscous compressible flow on unstructured meshes are explained, thus
allowing the simulation of complex three-dimensional technically relevant
problems. Among some of the methods addressed are finite volume methods
using approximate Riemann solvers, finite element techniques, such as the
streamline diffusion and the discontinuous Galerkin methods, and combined
finite volume - finite element schemes. The book gives a complex insight
into the numerics of compressible flow, covering the development of
numerical schemes and their theoretical mathematical analysis, their
verification on test problems and use in solving practical engineering
problems.

The book will be helpful to specialists coming into contact with CFD - pure
and applied mathematicians, aerodynamists, engineers, physicists and natural
scientists. It will also be suitable for advanced undergraduate, graduate
and postgraduate students of mathematics and technical sciences.

* Useful as a textbook for students in pure and applied mathematics and
technical sciences
* Excellent handbook for specialists
* Contains recent developments in numerical treatment of compressible fluid flow
* Good reference guide for solving applied problems
* Informs a wide audience

Subject: Special Issue on Statistical Signal Extraction and Filtering

Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, Special Issue on
STATISTICAL SIGNAL EXTRACTION AND FILTERING
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/csda

The need to extract signals and other components from time series is a
requirement in many empirical sciences, including Medicine,
Engineering, Economics and Climatology, to name but a few. Nowadays, a
wide variety of methods are available, including Wiener--Kolmogorov
Filtering, Kalman Filtering, Principal Components Analysis, and
Wavelet Analysis. Some of the methods have been conceived in the time
domain and others have originated in the frequency domain. A few of
the methods may be interpreted equally in both domains. The majority
demand skilful use of the computer for their successful
implementation.

Give the variety of the available methods of Statistical Signal
Extraction and Filtering, and given the diversity of the subject areas
in which they are applied, there are plentiful opportunities for cross
fertilisation and technology transfer. We therefore invite submissions
for a special issue of Computational Statistics & Data Analysis
devoted this topic. We will consider papers addressing the use of
computational and numerical methods for solving theoretical and
practical issues associated with filtering and signal extraction
algorithms, the impact of the techniques on the relevant subject
areas, and specific applications involving computing and data
analysis.

The papers submitted to the special issue should contain both
computational and substantive (i.e. subject area) components. Authors
who are uncertain of the suitability of their papers for the special
issue should contact the special issue editors. All papers submitted
must contain original unpublished work that is not being submitted for
publication elsewhere. Manuscripts submitted to this special issue
will be refereed according to standard procedures for Computational
Statistics and Data Analysis. The journal is also interested in
receiving submissions in the broader areas of time-series analysis,
which might be considered for inclusion in the special issue or in
regular issues. Information about the journal can be found at
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/csda

The DEADLINE for submissions is January 31, 2004.

The editorial process is expected to proceed rapidly thereafter
Submission electronically is encouraged. Please e-mail a postscript
or PDF file of your manuscript to one of the special issue editors:

OBJECTIVES

Continuous constraints are a natural way to represent
many practical problems and the knowledge they involve.
Such constraints may be simple or complex, linear or
non-linear and may, or may not, involve transcendental
functions. They are widely used to express, for example,
chemical or mechanical models, process descriptions,
building codes or cost restrictions. Many industrial
problems involving continuous constraints can be modeled
as continuous constraint satisfaction and optimization
problems (CSOPs). In practice, such models are often large
in size and non-linear.

As the preceding workshop, this workshop focuses on
complete solving techniques for continuous CSOPs that
provide all solutions with full rigor. Less rigorous solution
techniques are not excluded, since they may be part of
complete relevant techniques. Complete solution techniques
guarantee that all the constraints - e.g. security or
tolerance criteria - are satisfied and the global optima
identified. Completeness would thus benefit directly the
quality and reliability of decisions or analyses based on
the provided solutions. This has obvious implications in
many industrial and economic areas.

None of the existing approaches for solving non-linear
CSOPs is fully satisfactory in practice. Non-linear
programming techniques are routinely used and can solve
large-scale non-linear problems. However, they are
complete only in the convex case and if round off errors
are controlled. In contrast, constraint programming solvers
preserve completeness, but suffer from poor scalability.

The respective strengths of mathematical and constraint
programming appear however to be highly complementary and a
number of recent developments showed that there is a lot to
be gained by merging the different inference techniques they
provide and by combining their specific advantages.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together communities
from global optimization, mathematical programming and
constraint programming, giving the opportunity to promote
presentation and discussion of ongoing work on solving
techniques for continuous CSOPs. The workshop aims at
encouraging cross-fertilization between the various
approaches, including the study of adapted cooperation
strategies between mathematical and constraint programming,
and of new representations and abstractions for which they
can efficiently interact.

TOPICS
------
Relevant topics include, but are by no means restricted
to the following:

* Solution techniques for global optimization problems
* Integration of constraint programming with non-linear
programming techniques
* Linear and nonlinear convex enclosures of nonlinear programs
* Semidefinite programming techniques for global optimization
* Improved consistency techniques for continuous constraints
* Combination of symbolic methods with mathematical and
constraint programming techniques
* Solution techniques for under-constrained systems
* Adaptation of sparse matrix techniques to the non-linear case
* Representation and exploitation of monotonicity and
convexity properties
* Abstractions based on convex decomposition
* Partial boundary representation based on critical points
and topological abstractions
