Subject: Capturing Output from AUTO 94
In my work I have been using the continuation and bifurcation software
AUTO 94 and have experienced great difficultly in getting the .ps files
from the AUTO 94 graphics program PLAUT to fit satisfactorily into a Latex
document. I believe that this is a common problem with other users.
However recently I received a mail from somebody who has managed to
overcome the difficulties with these .ps files. I have put the

Subject: Global Optimization Package for Mathematica
Dear Colleague,
I am a scientist, formerly at Argonne National Laboratory, who has developed a
robust global nonlinear optimization package. This package is designed for
practical use. It allows nonlinear and even disjunct constraint sets and is
able to find multiple true minima in a single run if they exist. It makes
minimal assumptions about the function to be solved and is very easy to use.
Perhaps most exciting is that it is built to work with Mathematica, and is
distributed by Wolfram Research, Inc. (see
http://store.wolfram.com/view/globalopt for ordering information), as well as
by myself.
Features:
Global Optimization performs constrained or unconstrained global nonlinear
optimization. It uses a sophisticated interface for defining the nonlinear
system to be solved and for computing function numeric values. Any computable
function can be used as input. The package uses a unique grid-refinement
algorithm. At each iteration, feasible points are identified that both
satisfy the user-defined constraints and meet the minimization cut. As the
algorithm proceeds, the grid is refined in the vicinity of points in the
solution set, and lower points are found which create the solution set for the
next iteration. Because a (possibly large) set of points defines the solution
at each iteration, the algorithm can narrow in on many potential solutions at
the same time. This also allows optimal regions to be found, rather than just
single optimal points. These optimal regions might represent the bounds on
feasible management strategies that achieve an equivalent result or might
depict confidence limits for a parameter estimation problem. Nonlinear
inequality constraints are allowed, which may even define disjunct parameter
search spaces. No other tool provides this combination of features. Advanced
mathematics are not required to use the package. Derivatives are not
required, and the function need not even be differentiable. Robust solutions
are provided with the goal of saving time for the user by finding all optimal
solutions in a single run.
Advantages:
The Global Optimization package has a number of advantages over other systems.
First, the user can often find all solutions in a single run rather than
making many runs as is necessary with local methods. In contrast to other
global methods, the user does not need to supply derivatives. The method is
much less restrictive than most methods, because it allows any computable
function to be used, and is not restricted to Lipschitz continuous functions
or other special cases. This is particularly true for the use of constraints,
which can be nonlinear and can even define disjunct parameter search spaces.
The algorithm is generally quite robust to local minima and discontinuities.
Limitations:
The package does use more computer time as problem size increases, which means
that it may need to run for an extended time for large problems (>20
variables).
Ordering:
The package is available for Mac and pc (Linux & Windows) ($495) and Unix
platforms (SGI, Sun, HP, & Solaris) ($895) from Wolfram Research (see web site
http://store.wolfram.com/view/globalopt/ for ordering) or with a 15% discount

Subject: MLBiCGStab Code for MATLAB
We recently obtained a variant of the popular BiCGSTAB method for solving
nonsymmetric linear systems (CAM Report 97-15, UCLA). The method, which
we denote by ML(k)BiCGSTAB, is derived from a variant of the BiCG method
based on a Lanczos process using multiple (k > 1) starting left Lanczos
vectors. Compared with the original BiCGSTAB method, our new method
requires fewer matrix-vector products to produce approximate solutions
after the same number of steps, on average requiring only 1 + 1/k matvec's
per step. Empirically, it also seems to be more stable and faster
convergent. This new method can be implemented as a k-term recurrence and
can be viewed as a bridge connecting the Arnoldi-based FOM/GMRES methods
and the Lanczos-based BiCGSTAB methods. A MATLAB code of the method can
be found at http://www.math.ucla.edu/~myeung

International Advanced Study Institute, Antalya (Turkey)
on
Error Control and Adaptivity in Scientific Computing
from August 9 to August 21, 1998
An Advanced Study Institute of the NATO Science Committee
and the Research Center of Applied Mathematics, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey
and the Institut fuer Informatik, Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany.
Directors: H. Bulgak, Chr. Zenger
Secretary: V. Ganzha
The ASI Antalya is a two week course for young mathematicians, engineers and
natural scientists working in the field of numerical simulation. The course
aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion
of international contacts among scientists. The time and location of the ASI
have been chosen to provide a pleasant atmosphere in which scientists can meet
and interact successfully, hence maximizing the effective use of NATO funds.
The numerical simulation of complicated technical or natural processes has
become one of the main sources of qualitative and quantitative understanding
of these processes besides observation and experiments. Many situations (e.g.
in astronomy) cannot be investigated by experiments, and we often cannot
observe all details of interest in an experiment (e.g. the distribution of
velocities in space and time of a turbulent flow). In all these cases we
cannot judge by experiments or by observation, whether the numerical results
are correct, or how large the error may be. In other cases, it may be too
expensive to validate the numerical results by experiments. Therefore, it is
important to have techniques yielding exact bounds or at least estimates for
the error of the computations. The estimation of errors is studied in different
fields of numerical mathematics under various aspects. The investigation of the
influence of computer arithmetic on computations (propagation of rounding
errors, interval arithmetic, backward and forward analysis), error estimation
for stepsize control (ordinary differential equations), and adaptive grid
generation are important fields where methods and tools for the investigation
of errors were developed. These and other fields should be brought together to
develop a culture where numerical results are always accompanied by error
bounds or error estimates.
Topics:
Partial Differential Equations
Linear Algebra and Nonlinear Algebra
Ordinary Differential Equations
Computer Arithmetic and Rounding Errors
Adaptive Grid Design
Deadline for Application: March 25, 1998.

Subject: Frank & Brennie Morgan Prize
Hello,
The mathematics community continues to increase its recognition of the
importance of research and scholarly activities by our undergraduate
students. Not only do undergraduate students represent our future, but
they have consistently demonstrated that they can make significant
contributions to the profession. One way that we recognize these
important contributions is through the Frank and Brennie Morgan Prize.
The Frank and Brennie Morgan Prize is given each year to reward
outstanding research by an undergraduate student. The application
deadline is June 30 of each year. I am writing on behalf of the Morgan
Prize Committee, and we would be most appreciative if you would
consider notifying any of your students of the Morgan Prize.
If any of your students would like to submit their work for
consideration of the prize, please ask them to submit an application
to the following address:
Morgan Prize Committee
c/0 Robert M. Fossum, Secretary
American Mathematical Society
Department of Mathematics
University of Illinois
1409 West Green Street
Urbana, IL 61801-2975
The deadline for applications is June 30, 1998. Students who were
undergraduates in December 1997 are eligible for the award. One award
is given each year, although the committee has also given one or more
honorable mentions. The amount of the award is \$1,000.00.
A nomination for the award should include at least one research paper
and at least one letter of recommendation. The research paper (or
papers) that is submitted does not have to be a published paper, but
the work must have been performed while the nominee was an
undergraduate student.
Sincerely,
Kelly Black

University of Missouri-Rolla
Rolla, Missouri
Topic: Parallel Numerical Linear Algebra
June 8 - July 31
Stipend: $2000
Room and board are paid and travel allowance
will be provided.
Program Coordinators: Dr. Daniel Okunbor & Dr. Fikret Ercal
The goal of this project is to take a group of undergraduate students each
year, who have had limited or no opportunities for research, and provide them
with a significant research experience that will stimulate their interest in
mathematical and computational sciences to the point that they will react
positively to the possibility of attending graduate school for further
education and research in mathematics related areas. The project is selected
to illustrate methods of research that will take the students progressively
from the definition of the problem, through the statement of objectives,
literature search, and the actual research, to the point of writing up their
results and conclusions.
In this project, students will be given an opportunity to do research in the
area of numerical algorithms for problems arising from different areas in
science and engineering. In particular, students will be involved in the
design, analysis, and implementation of parallel numerical algorithms for
the solution of large sparse linear systems, eigenvalue, least squares,
optimization problems. This research will necessarily involve investigating
the current literature in these areas as well as the parallel architectures
that can be utilized for this project. In the instructional phase of the
project, students will also learn mathematical concepts in numerical linear
algebra, message passing interface (MPI) and C programming language with
appropriate language extensions to provide a means of implementing the
parallel numerical algorithms on parallel processors.
