From: John C Nash nashjc@uottawa.ca
Date: February 03, 2021
Subject: Nashlib update and consolidation


An exchange of emails between Peter Olsen and John Nash has led to a
modest project to bring together various implementations of the
pseudo-code algorithms from Nash J. C. "Compact Numerical Methods for
Computers: Linear Algebra and Function Minimisation", Adam Hilger:
Bristol, 1979. There was a 1990 Second Edition with Turbo Pascal codes
which are part of the netlib collection.

The codes have turned out to be surprisingly resilient and have
evolved as they have been applied, in particular in the R project.
Codes and documentation are being collected and edited so they all are
runable at https://github.com/pcolsen/Nash-Compact-Numerical-Methods

We believe the collection may prove useful:
- as a repository of different versions of the codes, possibly with additio=
n
of the extensions that have appeared over the nearly half century since
some were initially coded.
- as a source of modest student or learning projects to code the
algorithms in different programming languages e.g., Matlab/Octave or
C. Python and R are the current goals. Fortran, BASIC and Pascal
are well- represented.
- as a resource for exploring the influence of resource and
programming language features on software design.
- as a base for specialised implementations e.g., a multiprecision
version of an SVD code has been built, where the short code was
helpful to adapting to the programming language extensions.

We welcome interest and collaboration.

CEMRACS is a summer program aiming at bringing together scientists
from both the academic and industrial communities to work on and
discuss focused topics. The program includes a one-week summer school
followed by 5 weeks of research sessions on projects proposed by
academic and industrial partners. The next CEMRACS 2021 will be on
"Data Assimilation and Reduced Modeling for High Dimensional Problems"
and will be held at CIRM (Luminy, France), Jul 19 - Aug 27, 2021.

Confirmed speakers of the summer school (Jul 19-23) are: Albert Cohen
(Sorbonne University); Masoumeh Dashti (University of Sussex); Eric

Subject: Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems, Germany, Sep 2022


The 25th International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks
and Systems (MTNS 2022) will be held on 12-16 September 2022 in
Bayreuth, Germany.

MTNS is a major symposium in the general area of mathematical systems
theory, networks and control. The symposium is interdisciplinary and
attracts mathematicians, engineers and researchers working in all
aspects of systems and control theory and its applications. The
symposium is held every two years. Mathematical methods which play a
role in the areas mentioned above stem from a broad range of fields of
pure and applied mathematics, including ordinary and partial
differential equations, real and complex analysis, numerical analysis,
optimization, probability theory and stochastic analysis, operator
theory, linear and commutative algebra as well as algebraic and
differential geometry. Application areas range from biology,
communications and mathematical finance to problems in electrical,
mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering, and robotics.

We are looking forward to a stimulating symposium with exciting talks
and discussions. For more information see

We (Aviv Gibali, Pontus Giselsson and Thomas Humphries) are serving as
guest editors of a special issue of the new Journal of Applied and
Numerical Optimization (http://jano.biemdas.com/) focused on

Projection and splitting methods and their applications

This special issue aims at bringing together articles on recent
advances in projection and splitting methods. The topic should appeal
to researchers working in the field of mathematical optimization, for
example, variational inequalities, fixed point theory, feasibility
problems, parameter estimation, and learning.

In case you plan to contribute, we would appreciate receiving a
tentative title from you no later than April 1, 2021. The deadline for
submitting the manuscript is September 1, 2021. All your
communications regarding your submission to the special issue should
be addressed to thumphri@uw.edu, with copies to Editor-in-Chief Akhtar
A. Khan at aaksma@rit.edu and the Editorial Office of the journal at
jano@biemdas.com. Final publication decisions on (possibly revised
versions of) all submitted articles will be made by April 1, 2022.

Hoping that you will join us on this project, with best regards on
behalf of Aviv Gibali (ORT Braude College, Karmiel, Israel), Pontus
Giselsson (Lund University, Sweden) and Thomas Humphries (University
of Washington Bothell, USA)
