Subject: Legacy of Peter Wynn


After the death of Peter Wynn (an English mathematician and a
numerical analyst, well known for his epsilon-algorithm) in December
2017, handwritten unpublished documents by him came to light.

We have listed and analyzed them in the Open-Access paper Claude
Brezinski, F. Alexander Norman, M. Redivo-Zaglia The legacy of Peter
Wynn Mathematics 2021, 9, 1240. https://doi.org/10.3390/math9111240

A web site on Wynn has been constructed at the University of Texas at
San Antonio https://mathresearch.utsa.edu/Legacy/Peter-Wynn/ It
contains a small biography, a list of Wynn's publications, a
bibliography on the topics treated, photos, and all the unpublished
papers of Wynn which can be freely downloaded. These papers cover
extrapolation and acceleration, Pade and rational approximation and
interpolation, continued fractions, complex analysis, abstract
algebra, and other topics. They can be freely exploited to start new
research. We offer them to the international community of
mathematicians.

The papers and reports published by Wynn during this lifetime are
analyzed in the book:

Subject: Oleg Burdakov


It is a sad duty to let you know that Oleg Burdakov has passed away on
the night of June 1-2, 2021, after courageously fighting illness for
many months. Beyond his well-known scientific achievements and his
important role as the founder and EIC of Optimization Methods and
Software, Oleg will be remembered as a lively, enthusiastic colleague,
always open to new ideas and willing to promote them. Many of his
friends will regret his wonderful sense of humour and love of life.
We express our deepest sympathy to Galya and Dasha, his wife and
daughter, whom many of us have met and appreciated. Good bye dear
Oleg, we will not forget you.

Subject: New Book, Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization


Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization
by Philip E. Gill, Walter Murray, and Margaret H. Wright

This classic volume covers the fundamentals of two closely related
topics: linear systems (linear equations and least-squares) and linear
programming (optimizing a linear function subject to linear
constraints). For each problem class, stable and efficient numerical
algorithms intended for a finite-precision environment are derived and
analyzed. While linear algebra and optimization have made huge
advances since this book first appeared in 1991, the fundamental
principles have not changed. These topics were rarely taught with a
unified perspective, and, somewhat surprisingly, this remains true 30
years later. As a result, some of the material in this book can be
difficult to find elsewhere.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology


Seeking to recruit, limited to 2 years, a PostDoctoral Researcher
(f/m/d) for the Project "A new TEstbed for Exploring Machine LEarning
in Atmospheric Prediction (TEEMLEAP)"

TEEMLEAP is funded in the framework of KIT's Excellence Initiative
"Future Fields". Its goal is to establish a testbed based on the
operational system of the German Weather Service (DWD) to explore
potential improvements to weather prediction through machine
learning. Current weather predictions still suffer from systematic
errors and weather services around the world are now realising that
circumventing these deficits through machine learning could
revolutionise the discipline in the next decades. This requires a
fundamental rethinking, interlinking meteorology much better with
mathematics and computer science.

We seek an ambitious postdoctoral researcher with an interest in
mathematical and computational challenges of machine learning and its
combination with numerical weather prediction. Main tasks of the
position are to analyze the fundamental mathematical characteristics
of the envisioned new testbed, to develop a strategy for optimisation
using machine learning methods and to quantify forecast
uncertainty. More details about the position can be found here:
https://s.kit.edu/z1jhmyzk

Applicants should have: PhD in Mathematics, Computer Sciences or
closely related subject; Strong background in numerical analysis,
statistics or mathematical aspects of machine learning; Programming
skills (e.g. python, MATLAB, C++, R); the ability to work within an
interdisciplinary team. Please apply via E-mail to Dr Barbara Verfurth
barbara.verfuerth@kit.edu until 23/06/2021 including a detailed CV,
scans of degree certificates, a letter of motivation, contact
information for two referees. Planned start date is 01/09/2021.
