Subject: Phone Prefix Change for Argonne National Labs

The phone prefix for Argonne National Labs has changed from
972 to 252. So for example, my number is now (708) 252-8875
instead of the old (708) 972-8875. Some 972 numbers may still
work for a while, but may go away any day.

Subject: Proceedings of Bristol Conference on Dynamics

I wish to bring to the attention of the NA-net community the
publication of the proceedings of the Bristol Conference on "The
Dynamics of Numerics and the Numerics of Dynamics".

The publicity material says:

"The original conference was unique in bringing together specialists in
nonlinear dynamical systems and numerical mathematics. The papers
present a broad range of topics of interest to both research
communities -- applications of dynamical systems in numerical analysis
and of numerical problems and techniques in dynamical systems.

Although numerical analysis and nonlinear dynamical systems appear to
be incompatible, in fact both approaches to increasing our
mathematical understanding are mutually dependent. Numerical analysts
benefit from seeing the numerical algorithm itself as a dynamical
system, while numerical expertise is useful in elucidating the
behaviour of nonlinear systems."

The volume includes eleven invited talks and surveys by a range of
leading specialists from both communities:

R. Temam: General methods for approximating inertial manifolds.
Applications to computing.
J. Carr: Slowly varying solutions of a nonlinear partial differential
equation.
I.N. Stewart: Bifurcation theory old and new.
D.S. Broomhead: The geometry of dynamics.
J.M. Sanz-Serna: Numerical ordinary differential equations vs.
dynamical systems.
D.R. Moore & N.O. Weiss: Sensitivity of bifurcations to discretization.
H.B. Keller: A numerical approach to Hilbert's sixteenth problem.
R.S. Mackay: Some aspects of the dynamics and numerics of Hamiltonian
systems.
J.P. Keener: Uses and abuses of numerical methods in cardiology.
D.F. Griffiths & A.R. Mitchell: Spurious behaviour and nonlinear
instability in discretised partial differential equations.
J.K. Hale: Dynamics and numerics.

The book has been edited by Dave Broomhead and myself, and published
by Oxford University Press (ISBN 0-19-853642-9).

Subject: ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms

Fourth ACM-SIAM Annual Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA)
Sponsored by ACM Special Interest Group on Automata and
Computability Theory, and SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics

January 25-27, 1993, Radisson Plaza Hotel, Austin, Texas

This symposium is for those interested in the use, design,
and analysis of algorithms, with special emphasis on
questions of efficiency. Papers about algorithms
(sequential, parallel, distributed, randomized, etc.) in all
areas of application are invited. Papers on the application
of advanced algorithmic techniques to real world problems
are especially solicited. Such papers will be judged on the
interest and novelty of application, and on the significance
of the practical lessons learned.

The call for papers and information on how to submit
extended abstracts will be available May 15, 1992. To
receive your copy, contact SIAM ... n o w !!

Organized by Association Francaise d'Approximation

After the congresses of Bar-Le-Duc (1984), Segovia (1986)
and Erice (1990), the 4th International Congress on Orthogonal
Polynomials and their Applications will be held in Evian (France)
from October 19 to 23, 1992.
Accomodation and conferences will take place at the Village-
Vacances-Familles (VVF) of Evian, beautifully located on the bank
of the Lake Leman in the French Alpes. Evian can be reached by
train or by plane (international airport of Geneva in Switzerland
and then train to Evian. A Swiss visa will be needed for some
foreigners).
The aim of this congress is to gather mathematicians,
scientists and engineers working on or using orthogonal
polynomials. All the aspects of the subject are intended to be
covered. The proceedings will be published.
Participants are invited to arrive on Sunday 18 October and
to leave on Saturday 24 October. Accomodation is only by apartments
with two bedrooms (each with a bathroom) and a common living room. The
price for full board is 305 FF per day and per person. The
registration fees (including the social events and a copy of the
proceedings) are 1100 FF (500 FF for accompagnying persons). They
must be sent (in French Francs and free of charge for us)
together with an advance of 900 FF per person for accomodation, to

account #: 3606 / 00071 / 30708125000 / 41
beneficiary : Assoc. d'Approx. - Mr Le Mehaute
bank : Credit Agricole
61 rue Nationale
35135 - Chantepie, FRANCE

Deadline for registration, sending the abstract (1 page) and a
proof of payment is
May 3, 1992

An additional fee of 100 FF will be charged for late registration.

The complete papers should be brought at the congress.

If you intend to participate and give a talk, please contact as
soon as possible
