Subject: Seeking High-dimensional Parabolic PDEs
Dear na-digest reader,
I should like to test a Monte Carlo algorithm for solving
parabolic initial mixed boundary value problems like
u_t = Lu - c u, for x in D
u(x,0)=f(x), for x in D
alpha du/dn - gamma u = h(x,t) for x on B
where D is the n-dimensional domain of the problem, B its boundary,
L is a linear elliptic differential operator, f, h known functions, d/dn is
the normal derivative.
The key point is that the dimension n must be "large" (n > 3):
If you are interested in solving such problems
or you have some reference to point out, please send me an e-mail.
Thank you in advance. Flavio Sartoretto

Subject: Thesis on N-body Solver for Vortex Methods in CFD
Hi,
I have recently completed my thesis, which I think may be of interest.
Briefly stated, I have investigated the Greengard_Rokhlin O(N) Fast N-body
solver, in both 2 and 3 dimenaions, and I have ported them
onto a MIMD computer. The 3D code was then employed to speed up
a vortex simulation of a turbulent fluid flow problem (non-viscous,
incompressible). Attention has been paid to the error which arises from
the Greengard-Rokhlin solver, and the exectution time has been reduced,
by various 'tricks', without compromising the prescribed tolerance.
If you are interested, please e-mail me and I will post a postscript version
to you. If you have any comments/questions about the text, I would be
happy to communicate on this subject.
Cheers,
Gavin

Subject: MGGHAT Version 1.1 Now Available
I am pleased to announce the availability of Version 1.1 of MGGHAT.
MGGHAT (MultiGrid Galerkin Hierarchical Adaptive Triangles) is a
FORTRAN program for the solution of general second order linear
self-adjoint elliptic partial differential equations with
Dirichlet, natural or mixed boundary conditions on 2D polygonal
domains (possibly with holes).
MGGHAT uses a finite element method with linear, quadratic or
cubic elements (user selectable) over triangles. The adaptive
refinement via newest vertex bisection and the multigrid iteration
are both based on a hierarchical basis formulation. Run time and
a posteriori graphical displays are made with gnuplot.
Several changes have been made since version 1.0. It now has
the capability to save the program state and evaluate the solution
from the saved state. This is useful for systems of equations,
time dependent problems, nonlinear equations, etc. Examples for
a system of equations and a time dependent problem are included.
All graphics are now done with gnuplot. A Tcl/Tk based menu has
been added for manipulation of the graphics.
MGGHAT is available from netlib. It can be obtained, for example,
by sending the message "send index from pdes/mgghat" (without the
quotes) to netlib@research.att.com.
MGGHAT can also be obtained from MGNET (multigrid network) by
annonymous ftp to casper.cs.yale.edu in directory mgnet/mgghat.
A hypertext version of the User's Guide can be accessed by your
favorite WWW brower at the URL

Subject: New Book on Concurrent Scientific Computing
NEW BOOK:
Concurrent Scientific Computing,
Eric F. Van de Velde,
Number 16 in Texts in Applied Mathematics,
Springer-Verlag, New York, 1994.
ISBN 0-387-94195-9 and ISBN 3-540-94195-9
This book is based on the course of the same name, which I have been
teaching at Caltech since 1988. There are 12 chapters covering
numerical linear algebra, the fast Fourier transform, classical
methods for the Poisson equation, multigrid methods, domain decomposition,
and particle methods.
With the exception of the last chapter on computer dependency,
the book has a definite slant towards multicomputers, i.e., local-memory
architectures.
The text contains enough mathematical background material to make it
self-sufficient to anyone who has taken an introductory numerical-analysis
course. However, the main emphasis is on deriving algorithms of
concurrent scientific computing.
If you have any comments on the book, please let me know at

Subject: Question on Robin of the ``Robin problem''
The ``Robin problem'' is another name for the `boundary value problem of
the third kind' in PDEs --- problems that specify boundary conditions
of the form G(u, grad u, nu) = 0 for the unknown function u where nu is the
boundary normal. The most common form is a*u + b*(nu . grad u) = f.
Question: Who was Robin?
My own guess is that he or she is/was French. The name seems not to appear
attached to the problem prior to the 50s, but this might be based on my
own lack of information. I did a scan of the literature but came up with
nothing conclusive.
Any info on this would be appreciated.

Subject: SPARSKIT and Sparse Examples
Two annoucements:
1) SPARSKIT version 2 is now available - You can access it from an anonynous
FTP at cs.umn.edu. Instructions are appended to this message.
SPARSKIT is a library of routines that can be useful when working
with sparse matrices. The new version has a number of enhancements which
are too long to list. Noteworthy: more iterative solvers, more matrix
generation routines, some reordering routines,...
2) We are in the process of collecting sparse matrices from applications and
making them available also through anonymous FTP. Currently we have
matrices associated with CFD applications extracted from the examples
in the FIDAP package. We also have some matrices from an application
in a Tokamak simulation. Many (most) of these matrices are difficult
to solve with iterative methods, and a few are very difficult.
We have included for each matrix a description of the physical
problem where it originates from and the output of the INFO routine
from SPARSKIT. See the README files in the directory for details.
The matrices are located in the subdirectory /matrices in the FTP area.
They are all in the Harwell-Boeing format for compatibility with this
well-known collection.
It would be nice to make available some matrices on which `important'
numerical tests have been published. Currently, researcher on iterative
methods, are particularly interested in matrices that arise from typical
applications (e.g. CFD, electromagnetic scattering, structural
engineering, ...) If you have such matrices to contribute let me know.
We are also working on providing a contributed code for generating
matrices from CFD applications -- specifically a typical finite element
code for solving the Navier Stokes equations for a driven cavity problem.
SPARSKIT version 2 is located in an anonymous ftp area in ftp.cs.umn.edu
(128.101.230.9) -- To access it you will need to do the following:
* FTP to ftp.cs.umn.edu [128.101.230.9]
with the login name `anonymous' and your name as passwd.
* Then cd to /pub/sparse . You will find a file SPARSKIT2.tar.Z and a
directory called SPARSKIT2. You can either retrieve the
compressed tar file SPARSKIT2.tar.Z (use `binary' before
`get' when FTP'ing) or you can retrieve specific files /
modules, or all of the directory SPARSKIT2 (you may decide
to get the documentation first. - see below).
* the directory SPARSKIT2 consists of the eight subdirectories:
BLASSM, INFO, MATGEN, UNSUPP, DOC, INOUT, ORDERINGS, ITSOL,
and the files makefile and README,
Each of the subdirectories has a README file and one or
several makefiles (test programs). All the documentation is
in th DOC directory.
* If you retrieve the compressed file SPARSKIT2.tar.Z you
need to type the following in order to create the
subdirectory SPARSKIT2 in your directory:
uncompress -c SPARSKIT2.tar.Z | tar xvf -
Read carefully the README file in the main directory
SPARSKIT2. Send any comments, requests or complaints to
saad@cs.umn.edu.

ICASE/LaRC WORKSHOP ON ADAPTIVE-GRID METHODS
Radisson Hotel, Hampton, Virginia
*** NOVEMBER 7-9, 1994***
NOTE DATE CHANGE
Adaptive-grid techniques are essential to practical high resolution
fluid computations. In a three-day workshop, we plan to bring together
experts in adaptive refinement to evaluate the state-of-the-art in
adaptive-grid methods, and to discuss current research. Submissions
are invited in two areas: i) solution of proposed test cases and
ii) current research in adaptive-grid methodology. Priority will be
given to submissions which include computed solutions to one or more
of the proposed test cases.
The dates of this workshop, originally scheduled for August 26-28,
have been changed at the request of a number of the participants, who
felt the need for more time to devote to the test cases. These are a
sequence of two-dimensional compressible flow problems, chosen both
to encourage broad participation in the workshop, and to provide fair
comparisons between competing adaptive grid methodologies. All but
one of the test cases are inviscid, while four of the six are steady
state. Any adaptive-grid methods may be considered, including grid
enrichment, grid-point movement, order refinement, and hybrid methods.
As a convenience, structured and unstructured initial grids for these
test cases are available for anonymous FTP via Mosaic.
In addition to the test cases, the workshop will discuss the state-of-
the-art in adaptive-grid methods for fluid computations more generally.
The three-day format chosen should allow time for individual presenta-
tion of contributed solutions, comparison of solutions, presentations
of current research topics, and discussion on future directions in
adaptive-grid technology.
The invited speakers are:
Marsha Berger Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences
Kim Bey NASA Langley Research Center
Phillip Colella University of California, Berkeley
Thomas Fisher University of Barcelona, Spain
Joseph Flaherty Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Dimitri Mavriplis ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center
Kenneth Powell University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Jeffrey Saltzman Los Alamos National Laboratory
Greg Spraggle Fluent, Inc.
Jean-Yves Trepanier University of Montreal, Canada
John Van Rosendale ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center
Gary Warren NASA Langley Research Center
Nigel Weatherill University College, Swansea, U.K.
Those interested in contributing should submit a four-to-six page
extended abstract for review. With the new workshop date, we are
extending the deadline for submission to August 15, 1994. Submissions
may be by hard copy, e-mail (uuencoded postscript), or fax. You will
be notified of acceptance by September 15, 1994. Final papers for
the proceedings will be due six weeks after the workshop. For more
information check the Mosaic pages:
