Dear fellow optimizers,
I'd like to announce the publication of:
Nonlinear Optimization with Financial Applications
by Michael Bartholomew-Biggs,
Springer,2005; 261 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 1-4020-8110-3
The book is written for undergraduate and postgraduate students
and introduces the key ideas behind practical nonlinear optimization.
The financial content of the book is designed to be relevant and
interesting to specialists. However, this material -- which occupies about
one-third of the text -- is also sufficiently accessible to allow the book
to be used on optimization courses of a more general nature.

Subject: New Releases of Getfem and Gmm
Getfem++ 1.7 and Gmm++ 1.7 released and change of web addresses
Change of web addresses:
There is a change in the web adresses of the INSA Toulouse,
The new web adresses for the two packages are now:
Getfem++:
http://www-gmm.insa-toulouse.fr/getfem/
Gmm++:
http://www-gmm.insa-toulouse.fr/getfem/gmm_intro
An important number of improvements have been done on Getfem++ 1.7.
Note that the next release will be getfem 2.0, some of its changes won't
maintain backward compatibility with getfem++-1.7.
- Introduction of the "model brick" system, which provides a general framework
for the solution of common PDEs. Each brick is dedicated to a specific task
(i.e. "handle Dirichlet conditions", "assembly of the Stokes Problem",
"solve a linear system", etc.). These bricks are then connected to each
other. Examples of use can be found in the "tests/" directory of getfem++.
- New models : Small strain plasticity, large strain elasticity, contact and
friction conditions, linearized plates, incompressibility in small and large
strain elasticity.
- Simplifications and optimizations in elementary computations.
- A direct sparse solver (SuperLU 3.0) is available "out of the box"
- Ability to export results to VTK and OpenDX.
Major changes in Gmm++ 1.7:
- New preconditionner ILUTP.
- A BFGS algorithm has been developped.
- gmm++ now handles (valid) operations mixing complex and scalars.
- gmm::real_part(V) and gmm::imag_part(V) gives a possibly writable reference
on the real and imaginary part of a complex vector or matrix.
- the SuperLU interface has been updated for SuperLU 3.0.
- getfem-matlab has been renamed "getfem-interface" since it now provides an
interface for Matlab and Python (with the Numarray package). Note that,
while it is documented and working, the python interface is still considered
a "work in progress". You have to enable it explicitly with
"./configure --enable-python". An example of use can be found here.
An interface to the gmm++ sparse matrices and solvers is also provided.

Subject: Conference in Hong Kong on Superresolution Imaging
International Conference on Superresolution Imaging:
Theory, Algorithms and Applications
http://hkumath.hku.hk/~math/event/Super/home.htm
August 29 -- 31, 2005
The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
The three-day conference is the second conference on Mathematics in Image
Processing that holds in Hong Kong. The theme of the conference is on
superresolution imaging -- theory, algorithms and applications.
With the development of image processing applications, there is a big
demand for high-resolution images since high-resolution images not only
give the viewer a pleasing picture but also offer additional detail that
is important for the analysis in many applications. The current technology
to obtain high-resolution images mainly depend on sensor manufacturing
technology that attempts to increase the number of pixels per unit area
by reducing the pixel size. However, the cost for high-precision optics
and sensors may be inappropriate for general purpose commercial
applications, and there is a limitation to pixel size reduction due to
shot noise encountered in the sensor itself. Therefore, a resolution
enhancement approach using mathematical and computational techniques
has been a great concern in many areas, and it is called superresolution.
The aims of the conference are to
promote research interest in mathematical and statistical models and
computational methods in superresolution imaging for local
researchers and engineers, and to foster contacts and exchanges with
experts from other parts of the world.

Subject: Senior Faculty Position at Cornell University
The Faculty of Computing and Information Science seeks an eminent
researcher in computational science and engineering (CSE) to lead our
initiatives in this area as an Associate Dean for Scientific Computing.
The position includes responsibility for overseeing the Cornell Theory
Center, whose mission is to support advanced computing across campus.
The successful candidate will receive a full professor faculty
appointment in the Cornell academic department that best resonates with
his/her personal research and teaching interests; continued leadership
in both research and teaching is thus expected.
The individual appointed must have a vision for CSE research and how
such work can best be realized through high-performance computing
systems and forward-looking curriculum. There must be a deep
appreciation for interdisciplinary research and the reality that
different research communities have different traditions and styles of
computing. (Cornell's ongoing strategic initiatives in the life
sciences, nanotechnology, and information science reflect this
diversity.) Interactions with computer scientists and applied
mathematicians will be integral to the success of the program as will be the
ability of the Associate Dean to communicate the relevance of CSE research to
corporate sponsors and society in general.
See http://www.cis.cornell.edu/ for details about Computing and Information
Science at Cornell.
To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by
March 15, 2005, but will be accepted until the position is filled.
Applicants should submit a vita and the names and addresses of at least three
references.
Materials may be submitted electronically to SciComp@cis.cornell.edu or
by post to Ms. Donna Levengood, Computing and Information Science, 4132 Upson
Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-7501.

the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in the field of
numerical relativity as part of a collaborative NSF funded project
(involving Hirschmann at BYU and Lehner and Tohline at LSU). Current
research is directed toward modeling gravitational collapse,
coupling hydrodynamics to general relativity, and development of
parallel and adaptive computational infrastructure. The relativity
group at C.W. Post will consist of two faculty members, Steve Liebling
and Arvind Borde.
The start date is negotiable, but preference is for the fall of 2005.
The appointment is initially for one year and potentially renewable
for a second year, contingent upon satisfactory performance and
continued funding. Candidates with experience and interest in general
relativity, computational physics, and relativistic astrophysics are
encouraged to apply. All candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Physics or a
related field by the time of appointment.
C.W. Post (http://www.cwpost.liu.edu/cwis/cwp) is one of three main
campuses of Long Island University, situated close to New York City,
and is within easy reach of Stony Brook University, and Brookhaven
National Laboratory.
To apply, please send a letter of application, a CV, a statement of
research interests and arrange for three letters of recommendation to
be sent to:
Steve Liebling
Department of Physics
C.W. Post Campus---LIU
720 Northern Blvd.
Brookville, NY 11548
or to the email address below (in PDF, PS, or plain text formats only).
Screening of applicants will begin February 1, 2005 and will continue
until the position is filled. Direct all inquiries and electronic
applications to Steve Liebling (steve <dot> liebling <at> liu <dot> edu).
