Subject: New Edition, Green's Functions and Boundary Value Problems
The 3rd Edition of my book "Green's Functions and Boundary Value
Problems", now co-authored with Michael Holst (Departments of
Mathematics and Physics at UC San Diego), was published by Wiley in
February 2011.
The new edition contains over 200 pages of new material (representing
roughly a 30% expansion of the 2nd Edition). The new material
includes sections on additional tools from nonlinear functional
analysis, best and near-best approximation in Banach spaces, Sobolev
and Besov spaces, applications to nonlinear elliptic equations, finite
element and related discretization methods, and iterative methods for
solving discretized linear and nonlinear equations.

Subject: New Book, Num Meth for Large Eigenvalue Problems, Rev. Ed.
Announcing the May 17, 2011, publication by SIAM of:
Numerical Methods for Large Eigenvalue Problems, Revised Edition,
by Yousef Saad
2011 / xvi + 276 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611970-72-2 /
List Price $70.00 / Member Price $49.00 / CL66
This revised edition discusses numerical methods for computing
eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large sparse matrices. It provides an
in-depth view of the numerical methods that are applicable for solving
matrix eigenvalue problems that arise in various engineering and
scientific applications. Each chapter was updated by shortening or
deleting outdated topics, adding topics of more recent interest, and
adapting the Notes ad References section.
Significant changes have been made to Chapters 6 through 8, which
describe algorithms and their implementations and now include topics
such as the implicit restart techniques, the Jacobi-Davidson method,
and automatic multilevel substructuring.
This book is intended for researchers in applied mathematics and
scientific computing as well as for practitioners interested in
understanding the theory of numerical methods used for eigenvalue
problems. It also can be used as a supplemental text for an advanced
graduate-level course on these methods.

Subject: New Book, Spectral Approximation of Linear Operators
Announcing the May 10, 2011, publication by SIAM of:
Spectral Approximation of Linear Operators, by Fran=E7oise Chatelin
2011 / xxviii + 458 / Softcover / ISBN 978-0-898719-99-4 /
List Price $75.00 / SIAM Member Price $52.50 / CL65
This classic textbook provides a unified treatment of spectral
approximation for closed or bounded operators as well as for
matrices. Despite significant changes and advances in the field since
it was first published in 1983, the book continues to form the
theoretical bedrock for any computational approach to spectral theory
over matrices or linear operators. This coverage of classical results
is not readily available elsewhere.
It offers in-depth coverage of properties of various types of operator
convergence, the spectral approximation of non=96self-adjoint operators,
a generalization of classical perturbation theory, and computable
errors bounds and iterative refinement techniques, along with many
exercises (with solutions), making it a valuable textbook for graduate
students and reference manual for self-study.
This book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate students and
graduate students, researchers in functional and/or numerical
analysis, and engineers who work on instability and turbulence.

Subject: Workshop, Parallel-in-time Integration, Lugano, Jun 2011
We cordially invite you to participate in the following event,
organized within the Swiss HP2C initiative:
Workshop "Parallel-in-Time Integration Schemes",
June 3rd, Institute of Computational Science, USI Lugano
With high performance computing systems featuring growing number of
nodes, efficient strategies to parallelize all parts of a program
become increasingly important. While parallelization in space by
domain decomposition is already widely used, for a fixed spatial
resolution this approach scales well only up to some critical number
of processors beyond which the sub-domains are too small and
communication becomes the bottleneck. Parallel-in-time Integration
schemes provide an additional direction of parallelization,
potentially allowing to reduce total execution time of parallel
programs below the point where a pure spatial parallelization
saturates. One algorithm from this field that received a lot of
attention over the past years is "Parareal", which has been
successfully applied to a broad range of problems. The workshop is
dedicated to the presentation of recent developments, advances and
applications of parallel-in-time methods.

ISTEC 2011: Integration of Simulation Technology into Engineering
Curricula: A University-Industry Workshop
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
July 22-23, 2011
http://www.mae.cornell.edu/swanson/workshop2011/
Cornell University will be hosting a university-industry workshop on
the integration of simulation technology into engineering curricula
during July 22-23, 2011 in Ithaca, NY. Computer simulation has emerged
as a powerful new modality for solving engineering problems, distinct
from theory and experiments. Currently, the deployment of
sophisticated simulation software in engineering curricula is done
primarily by individual faculty in their respective courses without
the widespread sharing and standardization of materials. In order to
scale up the effective use of advanced simulation in curricula, there
needs to be increased collaboration among the major stakeholders:
educators, industry practitioners, software vendors, educational
researchers, professional societies and funding agencies. The ISTEC
2011 workshop will bring together these major stakeholders in a
sustained conversation on scaling up the effective use of advanced
simulation in engineering curricula.
The following technologies/areas are of particular interest:
-Finite-element analysis
-Computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer
-Multi-body dynamics and control
-General-purpose numerical analysis and programming
If you are interested in participating, please register using the
Registration Page on the above website. If you have questions, please

the heart. The overall goal is to investigate whether these equations
can be combined with ECG data to compute the location and size of
infarcts. In addition to theoretical considerations, the project also
involves patient data recorded at Oslo University Hospital.
The successful candidate will join the Computational Biology group at
UMB and is expected to collaborate with Simula Research
Laboratory. Candidates must have a M.Sc. in applied mathematics,
physics or computer science and have experience with one or more of
the following topics:
- Analysis of partial differential equations
- Numerical mathematics
- Optimization
- Inverse problems
- Software development
