Subject: Question about Integer Elimination
Hello NA Digest,
Has there been any work on Gaussian elimination performed in ways to
preserve integer coefficients? I only know of one paper by Erwin
Bareiss in 1968.

Subject: Xtreme(ly rapid) dense linear algebra library dev, Part II
A few weeks ago, I posted a video on rapid development of matlab code
that used the transformation of a generalized Hermitian eigenvalue
problem to the standard form as an example. This got a surprising
number of views, which encouraged me to put a second video together.
This time, I wrote notes on high-performance Cholesky factorization.
These should be appropriate for a beginning graduate level course on
numerical linear algebra or an upper division undergraduate course. I
then made a video of the rapid coding of not only M-script (matlab)
code, but also C implementations based on BLAS-like routines using our
libflame library (a modern replacement for LAPACK). In about 45
minutes, I implement three unblocked and three blocked algorithms.
The best implementation beats LAPACK performance (since LAPACK appears
to implement a suboptimal variant) and matches the implementation in
our libflame library.
All can be found athttp://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/Movies.html#Chol
Enjoy!

Subject: IMA Nonlinearity and Coherent Structures, UK, Jul 2011
IMA CONFERENCE ON NONLINEARITY AND COHERENT STRUCTURES
6-8 July 2011 University of Reading, UK
Aim and Scope. Nonlinear phenomena are ubiquitous in the natural
world. Very often the nonlinearity coexists with a degree of order,
and the associated coherent structures offer a solid reference point
for theory and experiments. A noteworthy example are the
so‐called solitons, localised waves propagating nonlinearly and
yet displaying many features of linearity. The theoretical
developments in the field of nonlinear evolution phenomena and the
mathematical study of coherent structures are relevant to many
disparate fields, including nonlinear optics, random media, atmosphere
and ocean dynamics, general relativity, high-energy particle physics,
plasma physics, fluid and solid mechanics, Bose-Einstein condensation,
nonlinear electrical circuits, and reaction‐diffusion processes.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers on the
theoretical aspects of these problems with researchers in the many
fields of potential application, to discuss recent developments,
methodologies and results, and to encourage communication and
collaboration.
Invited Speakers: Mark Ablowitz IMA Distinguished Lecturer (University
of Colorado at Boulder); Adrian Constantin (University of Vienna);
Roger Grimshaw (Loughborough University); Peter Janssen (ECMWF); Simon
Maskell (QinetiQ); Alan Osborne (University of Torino and Office of
Naval Research in Arlington, Virginia); Sergey Turytsin (Aston
University)

Subject: SIMBIO, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, Sep 2011
The Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the von Karman Institute and the
Technical University of Lisbon are organizing an ECCOMAS Thematic
Conference on
Simulation and Modeling of Biological Flows, 21-23 September 2011 at
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium (SIMBIO 2011).
In recent years there is a growing interest in the simulation and
modeling of flows in living organisms. The main applications are
related to blood flow in the vessels and airflow in the respiratory
tract. But also other applications such as e.g. fluid and solute
transport in bones, artificial blood pumps, phonation and speech
production fall into the category of biological flows.
The aim of the present thematic conference is to bring together
scientists and researchers working in this field and providing them a
forum for discussion and technical exchanges in this rapidly growing
field.
Deadline for submitting a 2 page abstract is April 1, 2011.
