Subject: New Code for Linear DAEs with Variable Coefficients Available

I would like to announce the release of GELDA Version 1.1.

GELDA is a software package for the numerical solution of linear
differential-algebraic equations with variable coefficients. The
implementation is based on a new discretization scheme. It can deal
with systems of arbitrary index and with systems that do not have
unique solutions or inconsistencies in the initial values or the
inhomogeneity.

The package includes a computation of all the local invariants of the
system, a regularization procedure and an index reduction scheme and
it can be combined with every solution method for standard index 1
systems. Nonuniqueness and inconsistencies are treated in a least
square sense. In our package we have implemented backward
differentiation formulas (BDF) methods and Runge-Kutta (RK)
schemes.

DGELDA (a double precision version of GELDA) is available via
anonymous FTP

ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/Local/mathematik/Rath/README.dgelda-1.1
ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/Local/mathematik/Rath/dgelda-1.1.tar.Z

or the GELDA Home Page

http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rath/gelda.html

GELDA is a joint work with Peter Kunkel, Volker Mehrmann and Joerg
Weickert.

Subject: Short Course in Optimization

ICASE/LaRC Short Course in Optimization with Application
to Multidisciplinary Design Optimization

April 9-13, 1996
Radisson Hotel, Hampton, Virginia

We are pleased to announce that the Institute for Computer Applications
in Science and Engineering (ICASE) and NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC)
will conduct a Short Course in Optimization with Application to
Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) at the Radisson Hotel in
Hampton, Virginia on April 9-13, 1996.

This course is designed to acquaint engineers and scientists with methods
and algorithms for treating nonlinear optimization problems. It will focus
on the optimization of systems governed by differential equations. Such
problems are becoming increasingly common and important in engineering
and scientific work, especially in MDO. Systems governed by differential
equations exhibit special structure and efficient optimization in such
situations requires specialized nonlinear programming approaches that take
advantage of this structure.

This course is also intended to expose its audience to the state of the
art in nonlinear optimization algorithms. Experience indicates that the
typical user of optimization is familiar with a few optimization algorithms
and software packages, but is unaware of the variety of available
optimization tools that may be more suitable for that user's needs.

A brief synopsis of the course follows:

Natalia Alexandrov, MDO Branch, NASA Langley Research Center
Overview of the short course; general optimization background:
statement of the problem, main classes of algorithms.

R. Michael Lewis, ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center
Overview of optimization subject to differential equation constraints;
adjoints; automatic differentiation; computational experience.

Jean-Francois Barthelemy, MDO Branch, NASA Langley Research Center
Optimization and MDO formulations; computational experience.

Lorenz T. Biegler, Carnegie Mellon University
Sequential quadratic programming methods; Applications: Very
large-scale problems in chemical engineering.

Prabhat Hajela, Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute
Applications: Optimization algorithms for aerospace design;
experience with genetic algorithms.

John T. Betts, Boeing Information and Support Services
Applications: Algorithms for large-scale nonlinear programming
in trajectory optimization and control.

AVAILABLE POSITION FOR POSTDOC IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS

As part of ongoing strategic research programs, SINTEF Applied
Mathematics (in Oslo, Norway) seeks a qualified person to fill a
one-year position dedicated to multilevel methods and domain
decomposition strategies for numerical solution of partial differential
equations (PDEs), typically for use on parallel computers. The position
is available in the period January - December 1996.

The applicant should have finished a PhD degree in which multilevel and
domain decomposition methods have played a significant role. Moreover,
the candidate should have practical experiences with such methods at an
implementation level. We are looking for a person that can implement
advanced numerical software within an object-oriented framework. In
particular, the candidate's code development shall take place in close
cooperation with the development of the Diffpack libraries for numerical
solution of PDEs. For this reason, it is necessary to document high
competence of advanced C++ programming for applications related to
PDEs. For further information on the Diffpack project, please see the
Web page

The Diffpack project and related activities take place in close
cooperation with the University of Oslo.

Candidates who wish to apply should send a copy of their
resume to

Are Magnus Bruaset
