Subject: l(infinity) Algorithm
Hello,
I am currently interested in designing an algorithm for the l_infinity
problem (Chebychev, minimax) and I need some algorithm to compare with.
If possibe, I want copies of the famous Barrodale-Phillips and
Conn-Bartels and Charalambous algorithm. Also if there is any other
efficient algorithm, I would like to have information about it.
Yours sincerely

Hi,
I am looking for a solver for the 3D self-adjoint elliptic PDE :
div[E(x,y,z)*grad(U(x,y,z))] = R(x,y,z)
where E & R are user-specified functions. I am interested in
Cartesian as well as cylindrical coordinates.
Any suggestions or source code will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Question on Kronecker Products
Hi,
I have a question related to minimization of a function involving kronecker
products and I can't seem to be able to crack it. I've looked in lots of
matrix analysis books for similar problems with little luck. I was
wondering if anyone had seen something similar to the problem I will pose
below.
Convention:
lower case letters -- vectors (or scalars, if specified)
upper case letters -- matrices
a^H -- conjugate transpose of 'a'
.kron. -- symbol for kronecker product of 2 matrices
Problem formulation:
minimize f(p,u) = (p^H .kron. u^H)*(E*E^H)*(p .kron. u)
subject to p^H*p = 1
and u^H*u = 1
'p' -- m x 1
'u' -- n x 1
'E' -- mn x k
Any insight or suggestions on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Subject: New Book on Total Positivity
New book on the applications of Total Positivity.
The book Total Positivity and its Applications, (ISBN
0-7923-3924-X) has just been published by Kluwer Academic
Pub., Dordrecht, The Netherlands, in the series Mathematics and
its Applications. Edited by Mariano Gasca and Charles A.
Micchelli, the volume (about 500 pages) contains articles that
document the advances in the subject of Total Positivity during
the last two decades.
The material is divided into ten chapters: Spline
Functions, Matrix Theory, Geometric Modeling, Probability and
Mathematical Biology, Approximation Theory, Complex
Analysis, Statistics, Real Analysis, Combinatorics and Integral
Equations. Some of the articles are of a survey nature and
others present new results.
The book, dedicated by the editors to Prof. S. Karlin, author of
the influential treatise Total Positivity (Stanford U. Press) in
1968, is the result of an international meeting held in Jaca
(Spain) in September 1994. It is expected that the book will
be of value to mathematicians, engineers and computer
scientists whose work involves applications of Total Positivity.

Subject: New Book on Linear-Quadratic Optimization
NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT:
Algorithms for Linear-Quadratic Optimization
by Vasile Sima
Vol. 200 in "Monographs and Textbooks in Pure and Applied Mathematics"
Earl J. Taft and Zuhair Nashed (Series Editors).
Publisher: Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York
March 1996 / 384 pages, illustrated / Hardcover / ISBN 0-8247-9612-8
This book offers valuable theoretical, algorithmic, and computational
guidelines for solving the most frequently encountered linear-quadratic
optimization problems, providing an overview of recent advances in
control and systems theory, numerical linear algebra, and optimization.
It covers fundamental issues in control theory and applications, such
as regulator and estimator design, state estimation, and robust control.
Topics of special interest, including H-infinity and H-2 optimization,
defect correction, stability-enhancing scaling procedure for Schur
Riccati solvers, Hammarling's algorithms for non-negative definite
Lyapunov equations, ordering generalized real Schur forms, structure-
preserving techniques, finding eigenvalues of Hamiltonian matrices,
and multishift algorithms, are highlighted. Theoretical treatment
benefically combines with an insight into algorithmic techniques,
with relevant numerical issues, advanced software tools, implementation
details improving performances, practical recommendations, and solution
of specific problems.
The chapters have a similar organization: basic theory (with short
proofs); mathematical and computational problem(s); and associated
numerical solvers. Each particular solver has the following referred:
algorithmic templates; computational issues; applicability and
limitations. To be as self-contained as possible, the book includes
and examines state-of-the-art numerical linear algebra algorithms and
associated software tools, like LAPACK. All algorithms are written in
a suggestive and concise informal language, that facilitates computer
implementation.
A summary of extensive numerical comparisons of various algorithms
is included. Many worked numerical examples, based on published
industrial models, are used for illustrative purposes. The book also
contains 20 figures, 11 tables, an index of algorithm definitions
(with over 80 entries), a subject index, and about 300 references.
By its emphasis on the latest algorithmic advances and areas of current
research interest, as well as by its broad coverage, methodological
guidances and practical guidelines, the book could be useful to applied
and industrial mathematicians, control engineers, electrical and
electronics engineers, computer programmers, researchers in automatic
control and dynamical optimization, and graduate students in these
disciplines.

Subject: New Book on Singularly Perturbed Diffferential Equations
Springer-Verlag have just published the book
"NUMERICAL METHODS FOR SINGULARLY PERTURBED DIFFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Convection-Diffusion and Flow Problems"
by Hans-Goerg Roos, Martin Stynes & Lutz Tobiska.
Springer Series in Computational Mathematics No. 24
Published March 1996 in Heidelberg, Germany, ISBN 3-540-60718-8,
350 pages, cost 148 DM.
This book collects, explains and analyses basic methods and recent
results for the successful numerical solution of singularly perturbed
differential equations. Such equations model many physical
phenomena and their solutions are characterized by the presence of layers.
The book is a wide-ranging introduction to the exciting current literature
in this area. It concentrates on linear convection-diffusion equations and
related nonlinear flow problems, encompassing both ordinary and
partial differential equations. While many numerical methods are considered,
particular attention is paid to those with realistic error estimates.
The book provides a solid and thorough foundation for the numerical analysis
and solution of singular perturbation problems.

supercomputer.
We are seeking candidates with a strong background in computational
mathematics, experience in parallel and/or vector processing, and
demonstrated skills in developing numerical algorithms and
implementing them in practice. The successful candidates will be
required to develop software and undertake research in some of the
following areas: numerical linear algebra, numerical solution of
ordinary and partial differential equations, mathematical programming,

preconditioners, and extensions to Fourier transforms and wavelet
libraries. Experience in software development for parallel and/or
vector computers is desirable. The ability to complete projects on
schedule is essential. It is important that candidates be able to
take up the post at an early date.
An initial appointment of between one and three years will be negotiated.
Extension of the appointment may be possible, but will depend on continuing

LBNL Mathematics Department are active. Among these
areas are computational mathematics, turbulence theory, material
sciences, interface methods, fluid mechanics, adaptive grid methods,
iterative methods, numerical linear algebra, and tools for parallel
processing. NERSC will provide access to a 512 processor Cray T3E, and
there will be opportunities to interact with the Mathematics faculty and
Computer Science faculty at the nearby University of California, Berkeley.
(for more information see http://www.lbl.gov/NERSC/ on the WWW).
Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae and names
