Subject: Update of Our Multi-Dimension Interpolation

In March, we reported our simple, powerful interpolation method for multi-dimensional
space at http://www.fanginc.com/main.htm . The method can be applied to arbitrary
dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, ...10D,....).

There are newly added info at the same site, which include new sample cases, FAQ, and
Investor's Forum. In Investor's Forum, technical proposal to government agency (NSF) is
included. We are pursuing to apply our method to spherical and cylindrical coordinates to
facilitate 3-D surface reconstructions. Feedbacks are most welcome. Critical comments
from the computing community are appreciated.

Subject: New Release of the Test Set for IVP Solvers

Dear colleague,

Hereby we announce the release 2.2 of the Test Set for IVP
Solvers, in which a number of Initial Value Problems from several
application fields has been brought together.

The test set consists of a descriptive part and a software part.
The first part describes test problems and reports on the behavior
of a few state-of-the-art solvers when applied to these problems.
The software serves as a platform to test the performance of a
solver on a particular test problem.

With respect to the release 2.1, we have updated all the solvers,
two more solvers (MEBDFI and GAMD) are supported, and five well
known stiff problems have been added. Moreover ODE, DAE and IDE
problems have been gathered into three different lists and link to
separated pages reporting a short description, work precision
diagrams and plots of the solutions. A short description of each
solver together with its related references, has also been added
in the descriptive part of the Test Set.

It is possible to submit new test problems.

The Test Set can be found at

http://pitagora.dm.uniba.it/~testset

Comments, remarks and suggestions are welcome.

Subject: HPC Course in Africa

HPC COURSE IN AFRICA (Some scholarships will be granted)
First semester of the UNESCO chair at LAMSIN
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

Tunis, 2nd of February - 30th of April 2004
http://www.cari-info.org/semester1.htm

Object of the program

This set of courses will describe the state-of-the-art for programming
procedures for large problems in linear algebra.
Some of the courses are devoted to the definition of currently used
methods. Special attention is given to the race for efficiency which
opposes iterative and direct methods for solving large linear systems.
Other courses focus on the parallelization of the methods and on their
implementation on networks of workstations or on multiprocessors.
By analysing all the steps of the numerical simulation, from modelling to
computer implementation, it is shown, using a particular application -
underground water flow - how to build efficient software which can exploit
local or exterior computing resources.

Organizer : Bernard Philippe, ENIT-LAMSIN, Tunis / INRIA-Rennes

Audience

This program is open to all researchers and engineers who would like to
acquire the skills necessary for programming numerical models in a way
that best uses the capacities of the computer. It is especially
well-suited to PhD students.
There is no registration fee for the course. Some fellowships for
reimbursing living and travel expenses will be granted to PhD students
from African countries who are sponsored by their universities.

Course organization

The courses will be given in French and/or in English, depending on the
composition of the audience.
Each course is one-week long. It is followed up by lab exercises which are
organized by members of LAMSIN. Lab sequences will conclude with the
installation and use of up-to-date software.

Prerequisites

The necessary background in mathematics is the bachelor's level. In
computer science, the attendees should know how to program in at least one
of the languages: C, FORTRAN, Matlab, or SCILAB..

Undergraduate Summer Program: We are very excited to announce the fourth
year of an innovative summer program for undergraduates at UCLA's
Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics. We are recruiting talented
national and international undergraduates and would be grateful for your
assistance in bringing this program to their attention. Our program
called Research in Industrial Projects for Students ("RIPS") creates
teams of 3-5 undergraduates paired with faculty mentors and industry
liasons whose goal is to solve real-world industrial problems. Sponsors
included companies such as Pixar and national laboratories such as Los
Alamos. Last summer we completed our 3rd program and as in the previous
two years, it was very successful and the undergraduates who
participated were enthusiastic about their experience. More information,
including comments from students and information on prior projects can
be found on our website at http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/rips2004/

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at TU Delft

Parallel solvers for the 2D and 3D acoustic and electromagnetic wave equations

Physical Chemistry and Molecular Thermodynamics/Numerical Mathematics,
Julianalaan 136, Delft 2628 BL, The Netherlands

Function description:
Postdoctoral Position: Rigorous modeling of 3D wave propagation in
inhomogeneous media for geophysical and optical problems

The research in this project aims at finding efficient parallel solvers for the
2D and 3D acoustic and electromagnetic wave equations. Both iterative and
direct solvers are studied. Within the numerical mathematics group new
preconditioners are being developed to reduce the number of iterations required
for an iterative solution of the 3D Helmholtz equation. The time needed to
perform a single iteration is still very large however. The task of the
postdoctoral fellow involves the parallellisation of the iterative solution of
the 3D Helmholtz equation using domain decomposition techniques. The proposed
computer architecture for parallellisation is a Linux cluster. The work will
be carried out in close collaboration with researchers at Shell/SIEP in
Rijswijk and Philips in Eindhoven.

The research is part of a joint project of the sections Physical Chemistry and
Molecular Thermodynamics (http://www.pcmt.tudelft.nl) of the Department of
Chemical Engineering (Prof. Dr. S.W. de Leeuw), Numerical Mathematics
(http://ta.twi.tudelft.nl/numanalysis.html) at the Department of Applied
Mathematics (Dr. C. Vuik), Shell/SIEP in Rijswijk (Dr. R. Plessix) and Philips
Natlab in Eindhoven (Prof. H.P. Urbach).

Education:
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated candidate, who recently
obtained (or soon will obtain) a PhD. Degree in Numerical Mathematics,
Computational Science, Computational Physics or related discipline. He/she has
an interest in Computational Modelling and Seismics. Good communicative skills
and fluency in English are essential.

Working conditions:
Enrollment and salary are according to the Employment Agreement Dutch
Universities. Enrollment will start as soon as possible. The postdoctoral fellow
will be appointed for a period of two years.

Subject: PhD Scholarship at UNSW, Sydney in

PhD SCHOLARSHIP IN MATHEMATICS @ UNSW

The School of Mathematics, UNSW is pleased to announce a PhD scholarship for
work on the project "Dynamic Equations on Time Scales".

Dynamic equations on time scales (measure chains) is a new and revolutionary
theory that models phenomena whose behaviour can change smoothly at one
level, but irregularly at another. This project will investigate these types
of equations and look at ideas such as existence, uniqueness and behaviour of
solutions. The theory is expected to apply to such "stop-start" behaviour as:
insect population models, stock markets, crop harvests and combustion.

The project would be ideal for students who have a background and interest in
differential equations, difference equations and nonlinear analysis.

The project is funded through the Australian Research Council's Discovery
Grants and funding is available for up to three years.

Scholarships carry a stipend of $23,294 AUD per annum for a maximum of three
years. (It does not cover tuition fees, currently $23,040 AUD per year. Fee
waivers will be available for PhD scholars who are Australian citizens or
Australian residents.)

Applicants should be highly motivated, and have a clear idea of their goals
and ambitions. They should show a commitment to fundamental research in
Mathematics.

Successful candidates will work under the supervision of Dr Chris Tisdell.

To apply, please send one hard copy of each of (i) a full curriculum vitae,
(ii) a covering letter and (iii) the names and contact details of two
referees (e-mail addresses are essential) by normal mail to:

Dr Chris Tisdell
School of Mathematics
UNSW Sydney 2052
AUSTRALIA

(Do not ask referees to send their references directly to me. I will contact
them.)

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 24th December 2003.
