I inadvertently put the wrong date for the deadline for
abstract submission in the annoucement for the Householder

Subject: Numerical Solution of Multidimensional Vandermonde Matrix

Dear colleagues,

The fast and robust algorithm for one-dimension (single variable) Vandermonde
matrix is known for years. Now we encounter the multidimension (multivariate)
Vandermonde matrix equation, represented by

Va=b

where V is a Vandermonde matrix. In the two-dimension quadratic case, for
example, it can be expressed as

V={1,x_j,y_j,x_j^2,x_jy_j,y_j^2}, j=1,2,...M.

The size of V is M*6. In the case of j>6, the least square method or the
generalized inverse method is required to solve the above equation. The
equation tends to be severely ill-conditioned as the size of the Vandermonde
matrix increases.

It is highly appreciated if anyone can provide some information on the fast
(O(N^2) or O(N*logN)) and robust algebraic solver for this problem.

Best regards,

Wen Chen

Subject: Special Issue on Accurate Solution of Eigenvalue Problems

CALL FOR PAPERS:
SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE SIAM JOURNAL ON MATRIX ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS
ACCURATE SOLUTION OF EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS

In the last 15 years, there have been a number of advances in the
accurate solution of eigenvalue problems. Well-known advances include
fast and more accurate methods for solving the symmetric tridiagonal
eigenproblem, more accurate methods for computing the singular value
decomposition, and further understanding of the conditioning theory of
the non-symmetric eigenvalue problem.

To recognize these advances and to encourage further advances, we plan
a special issue of SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications on
Accurate Solution of Eigenvalue Problems.

This special issue is in coordination with the International Workshop
on Accurate Solution of Eigenvalue Problems V held in Hagen, Germany,
June 28-July 1, 2004. The participants in the workshop are strongly
encouraged to submit papers to the Special Issue. Submissions from
non-participants, consistent with the themes of the workshop, are
welcome.

THE THIRD EUROPEAN FINITE ELEMENT FAIR
Pavia, 3-4 June 2005

After the successful Finite Element Fairs in Cambridge and Berlin, the
Third European Finite Element Fair (EFEF-3) will be held in Pavia on

3 and 4 June 2005 (Friday afternoon and all of Saturday).

The format of the Fair is similar to that of the Circus or Rodeo in the US.
EFEF provides a platform for high-level discussions on current research on
finite element approximation, in the broadest sense, of partial differential
equations. Participants are encouraged to present one new idea rather than
review a complete research project.

More information is available from the web page

http://www-dimat.unipv.it/efef

If you are interested in EFEF2005, you are warmly encouraged to subscribe
to the mailing list accessible from the above webpage in order to receive
further announcements.

Since accommodation in Pavia is in short supply, please plan to make your
hotel reservation well in advance.

We very much look forward to seeing you at EFEF-3 in Pavia!
