Subject: Least Squares Fit to a Lambda matrix
A complex dynamic stiffness matrix ${\bf S}(a_0)$
of order n fully populated and nonsymmetric is approximated
as follows
${\bf S}(a_0) \approx {\bf Q}^{-1}(ia_0) {\bf P}(ia_0)$
where
${\bf P}(ia_0) = {\bf 1} + ia_0 {\bf P}_1 + \dots + (ia_0)^{M-1}{\bf P}_{M-1}$
${\bf Q}(ia_0) =3D {\bf 1} + ia_0 {\bf Q}_1 + \dots + (ia_0)^M{\bf Q}_M$
i = \sqrt{-1}
a_0 : dimensionless frequency
{\bf 1} : identity matrix
The $(2M-1)$ unknown real matrices $P_i, Q_j$ should be determined
by a curve fitting procedure based on least squares.
Does anyone have any ideas or software (FORTRAN) for this problem ?
I would be very grateful for any help.

Subject: New Book, Pattern Formation in Viscous Flows
The following book has appeared in March:
Pattern Formation in Viscous Flows: The Taylor-Couette Problem and
Rayleigh-Benard Convection
by Rita Meyer-Spasche
1999, 224 pages, Hardcover, sFr 98, DM 118.
ISBN 3-7643-6047-X, Birkhauser Verlag, ISNM 128
The Taylor-Couette system is one of the most studied examples of fluid
flow exhibiting the spontaneous formation of dynamical structures. In this book
the variety of time independent solutions with periodic spatial structure is
numerically investigated by solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.
Topics and questions addressed are:
Mathematical modeling. Numerical modeling. What kinds of flow patterns do
the equations allow in the nonlinear regime? How many solutions exist for
given values of the control parameters? Are they stable? How do spatial
patterns and the number of solutions vary with the parameters?
For some parameter values many more solutions were found than previously
expected (up to 21), in other parameter regimes not even those solutions could
be found whose existence had been taken for granted. These "experimental"
numerical results led to conjectures on the global structure of secondary
bifurcations in the Taylor system and thus to possible explanations
for existence and non-existence of solutions. These conjectures were
verified and generalized for the mathematically closely related equations
of Rayleigh-Benard convection, and they were numerically confirmed for the
Taylor system.
This volume reviews work published in journals and conference
proceedings in recent years and shows how results obtained with different
methods (scientific computing, analytical methods, experiments with
fluids) by authors working in different disciplines (mathematicians,
physicists, engineers) complement and supplement each other. It also contains
new previously unpublished results, mainly on the global structure of
secondary bifurcations and on pattern formation.
Readership:
Mathematicians, physicists and engineers (researchers and graduate
students) interested in fluid dynamics, scientific computing and/or
dynamical systems.

Subject: New Book, The OPL Optimization Programming Language
The OPL Optimization Programming Language
Pascal Van Hentenryck
with contributions by Irvin Lustig, Laurent Michel, and Jean-Francois Puget
For more information please visit
http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/VANPPS99
Linear programming, integer programming, and combinatorial optimization
problems are ubiquitous in areas such as planning, scheduling, sequencing,
resource allocation, design, and configuration, yet they are still
challenging to formulate and express. OPL (Optimization Programming
Language) is a new modeling language for combinatorial optimization that
simplifies the formulation and solution of optimization problems. Perhaps
the most significant dimension of OPL is the support for constraint
programming, including sophisticated search specifications, logical and
higher order constraints, and support for scheduling and resource
allocation applications.
This book, written by the developer of OPL, is a comprehensive introduction
to the OPL programming language and its application to problems in linear
and integer programming, constraint programming, and scheduling. Readers
should be familiar with combinatorial optimization, at least from an
application standpoint.
An industrial implementation of OPL is available from the international
software company Ilog.
Pascal Van Hentenryck is Professor in the Department of Computer Science
and Engineering at the University of Louvain, Belgium. He is a coauthor of
Numerica: A Modeling Language for Global Optimization (MIT Press, 1997).
