Subject: New book, The Numerical Solution of Systems of Polynomials
The Numerical Solution of Systems of Polynomials
Arising in Engineering and Science
Andrew J. Sommese and Charles W. Wampler, II
World Scientific, 2005
This book treats the numerical solution of polynomial systems using an
algebraic-geometric approach, that is, using numerical continuation to track
solution paths of homotopy functions that are constructed in accordance with
principles of algebraic geometry. The text covers the full theory from
methods developed in the 1980's and 1990's for finding all isolated solutions
to the most recent research treating positive dimensional solution sets,
including methods for computing a numerical irreducible decomposition. This
collection of ideas, methods, and problems makes up the new area called
"Numerical Algebraic Geometry."
The book has several features to enhance its suitability for both coursework
and independent study. To anchor the methods, many examples from engineering
and science are presented. Each chapter contains a set of exercises that
illustrate the theory and help the student gain numerical experience. Many of
the exercises request computational results, for which HomLab, a suite of
MatLab routines, is available for download. The final appendix contains the
HomLab User's Guide.
No prior knowledge of algebraic geometry is assumed. Topics are explained
with the engineer or scientist in mind, assuming some familiarity with
advanced calculus. An extensive appendix on algebraic geometry provides a
sketch of the theoretical underpinnings and a bridge to the existing
literature of the field.
Readership: Graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics,
mechanical engineering, robotics, and any field where polynomial systems
appear (chemistry, economics, graphics, CAD, etc.).

Max Plus at Work:
Modeling and Analysis of Synchronized Systems: A Course on Max-Plus Algebra
and Its Applications
Bernd Heidergott, Geert Jan Olsder, and Jacob van der Woude
Trains pull into a railroad station and must wait for each other before
leaving again in order to let passengers change trains. How do
mathematicians then calculate a railroad timetable that accurately reflects
their comings and goings? One approach is to use max-plus algebra, a
framework used to model Discrete Event Systems, which are well suited to
describe the ordering and timing of events. This is the first textbook on
max-plus algebra, providing a concise and self-contained introduction to the
topic.
Applications of max-plus algebra abound in the world around us. Traffic
systems, computer communication systems, production lines, and flows in
networks are all based on discrete even systems, and thus can be
conveniently described and analyzed by means of max-plus algebra.
The book consists of an introduction and thirteen chapters in three parts.
Part One explores the introduction of max-plus algebra and of system
descriptions based upon it. Part Two deals with a real application, namely
the design of timetables for railway networks. Part Three examines various
extensions, such as stochastic systems and min-max-plus systems. The text is
suitable for last-year undergraduates in mathematics, and each chapter
provides exercises, notes, and a reference section.

Subject: New book, Optimization, Jan Brinkhuis and Vladimir Tikhomirov
Optimization: Insights and Applications
Jan Brinkhuis and Vladimir Tikhomirov
This self-contained textbook is an informal introduction to optimization
through the use of numerous illustrations and applications. The focus is on
analytically solving optimization problems with a finite number of
continuous variables. In addition, the authors provide introductions to
classical and modern numerical methods of optimization and to dynamic
optimization.
The book's overarching point is that most problems may be solved by the
direct application of the theorems of Fermat, Lagrange, and Weierstrass. The
authors show how the intuition for each of the theoretical results can be
supported by simple geometric figures. They include numerous applications
through the use of varied classical and practical problems. Even experts may
find some of these applications truly surprising.
A basic mathematical knowledge is sufficient to understand the topics
covered in this book. More advanced readers, even experts, will be surprised
to see how all main results can be grounded on the Fermat-Lagrange theorem.
The book can be used for courses on continuous optimization, from
introductory to advanced, for any field for which optimization is relevant.

"This book is quite complete and self contained. It is up
to date and covers a wide range of topics, all of which
are pertinent. The presentation seems accessible to beginners,
and yet it also has enough advanced material to be of interest
to experts."
-- Todd Arbogast, Professor, Institute for Computational

"This is a well-structured book covering a field that,
as far as I am aware, has not already been dealt with.
It will be an excellent supplement to existing books."
-- Rainer Helmig, Professor, Institute of Hydraulic Engineering,
University of Stuttgart, Germany.
"This book offers a fundamental and practical introduction to
the use of computational methods, particularly finite element
methods, in the simulation of fluid flows in porous media.
It is the first book to cover a wide variety of flows, including
single-phase, two-phase, black oil, volatile, compositional,
nonisothermal, and chemical compositional flows in both ordinary
porous and fractured porous media. In addition, a range of
computational methods are used, and benchmark problems of
nine comparative solution projects organized by the Society
of Petroleum Engineers are presented for the first time in book form."
"Computational Methods for Multiphase Flows in Porous Media
reviews multiphase flow equations and computational methods
to introduce basic terminologies and notation. A thorough discussion
of practical aspects of the subjects is presented in a consistent manner,
and the level of treatment is rigorous without being unnecessarily
abstract. Each chapter ends with bibliographic information and exercises."

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
IFIP Working Conference on Grid-based Problem Solving Environments:
Implications for the Development and Deployment of Numerical Software
Location: The Hassayampa Inn in Prescott, Arizona
Dates: July 17-21, 2006
Website: http://www.woco9.org
Sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing
(IFIP) and organized by IFIP WG 2.5: Working Group on Numerical
Software and the Center for Advanced Computing Research at the
California Institute of Technology in cooperation with the Society
for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
Whether called problem solving environments, science gateways, or
otherwise, these software resources now are an essential tool for
many scientists and engineers. Since numerical software provides the
basic building blocks for these systems, it is essential that future
development and deployment of numerical software reflect the
realities of both the state of the art distributed computing
environment and the needs of science and engineering users.
The IFIP Working Conference on Grid-based Problem Solving
Environments will bring together four communities:
+ users of both grid-based and traditional problem solving environments;
+ developers of both grid-based and traditional problem solving environments;
+ developers of grid infrastructure; and
+ developers of numerical software
for a week of intensive interaction to address issues including, but
not limited to:
- accuracy contracts and software services;
- standards for problem specification;
- service models for the use of numerical software;
- using the grid to link numerical and other services together;
- experiences with web-based numerical services;
- application-oriented numerical interfaces such as web portals;
- software deployment issues including updates and bug fixes;
- large data (including data security) and grid-based numerical software;
- grid-based services as an alternative to deployment; and
- evaluation and comparison of both production and research software.
To ensure broad participation in the IFIP Working Conference on Grid-
based Problem Solving Environments, the organizers are seeking
individuals who may wish to attend through this and other
announcements. If you are interested in participating in this
