Subject: Tensor Toolbox for MATLAB Version 2.3
Announcing the Tensor Toolbox for MATLAB Version 2.3
Tensors (also known as mutidimensional arrays or N-way arrays) are used in a
variety of applications ranging from chemometrics to psychometrics. The MATLAB
tensor toolbox provides for manipulating dense, sparse, and structured tensors
using MATLAB's object-oriented features.
Version 2.3 adds Memory Efficient Tucker (MET) for sparse tensors, adds a
nonnegative CP factorization, some new functions for tensor and sptensor (such
as reshape), and fixes numerous bugs. For more information on the Tensor
Toolbox for MATLAB Version 2.3, visit

Subject: PhD Position in Numerical Analysis at KTH, Stockholm
The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) hereby announces one PhD position in
Numerical Analysis, for the development of new methods to simulate complicated
processes in fluid dynamics. The numerical analysis group offers a strong
research environment with research mainly focused on the numerical solution of
differential equations for many different applications. More information about
our research group can be found at http://www.csc.kth.se/na.
This research project will be focused on developing numerical methods for
systems with dynamic geometries within fluid mechanics. Examples of such
systems are those with time-dependent interfaces that are separating different
phases or materials, such as bubbly flows, immiscible fluids consisting of oil
and water in oil reservoirs, or fiber suspensions as in paper and pulp
manufacturing. There is room to discuss the exact specification of this project.
