Subject: Nonlinear Matrix Equation
Dear NA readers,
Consider the following matrix equations
M X \Lambda^2 + D X \Lambda + K X = 0 (1)
X_0^H (X-X_0) = 0 (2)
where M,D,K are $n \times n$ real matrices.
X denotes a m-dimensional complex subspace
\Lambda is a square complex matrix of order m<<n.
One way to solve these equations for X, \Lambda is to apply the
vec-operator to (1), (2) followed by Newton's method.
However, this approach becomes inefficient in case of large problems.
Any pointer on this problem would be appreciated.

Subject: INCITE 2005 Call for Proposals
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center at the
U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
solicits proposals for large allocations of computing resources. The
Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment
(INCITE) program will award a total of 5.5 million processor hours and
100 terabytes of mass storage on the systems described at
<http://www.nersc.gov/>. The program seeks computationally intensive
research projects of large scale, with no requirement of current
Department of Energy sponsorship, that can make high-impact scientific
advances through the use of a large allocation of computer time and data
storage at the NERSC facility. A small number of large awards is
anticipated.
Successful proposals will describe high-impact scientific research in
terms suitable for peer review in the area of research and also
appropriate for general scientific review comparing them with proposals
in other disciplines. Applicants must also present evidence that they
can make effective use of a major fraction of the 6,656 processors of
the main high performance computing facility at NERSC. Applicant codes
must be demonstrably ready to run in a massively parallel manner on that
computer (the IBM SP, Seaborg).
Eligibility: Principal investigators engaged in scientific research with
the intent to publish results in the open peer-reviewed literature are
eligible. This program specifically encourages proposals from
universities, other research institutions and industry. Industry is
specifically solicited to propose challenging problems that may be
solved using high performance computing research. There is no
requirement of current sponsorship by the Office of Science of the
Department of Energy, which sponsors the NERSC Center.
Application Process: Applications will be accepted only electronically,
following instructions found at
<http://www.nersc.gov/projects/incite/incitecall.php>. Proposals will be
accepted until midnight PDT Wednesday, September 8, 2004. Awards are
expected to be announced by November 8, 2004, and access to the NERSC
facilities for the awardees will be established on December 1, 2004, and
remain in effect until November 30, 2005. Questions about the
application procedure should be directed to <incite-info@nersc.gov>.
