Subject: Vlastimil Ptak
The Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Computer Science
of the Czech Academy of Sciences announce with deep sorrow that
Professor Vlastimil Ptak passed away on May 9, 1999.
Professor V. Ptak, born 8.11. 1925 in Prague, was an outstanding
world-known mathematician. Besides functional analysis his
scientific activity involved linear algebra, real analysis and its
relation to topology, combinatorics and numerical analysis. A number
of world-renowned results are due to him: a generalization of the
open mapping principle (the Ptak spaces), extensions of separately
continuous functions, investigations concerning convergence of
iterative processes, theory of critical exponents, theory of
hermitian algebras, the method of continuous induction and its
application to iterative processes. In the last years the activity
of Prof. V. Ptak concentrated around problens concerning Toeplitz and
Hankel operators, functional models and lifting of intertwining
relations. He was for a long time the Head of the Department of
Functional Analysis in the Mathematical Institute of the Academy and
supervised a number of PhD. students. He has published more than 160
mathematical research papers.

Subject: Parallel Preconditioning: Release of SPAI 3.0
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the release of the new version
of SPAI: SPAI, Version 3.0.
The code can be freely downloaded at the new SPAI homepage:
http://www.sam.math.ethz.ch/~grote/spai
The SPAI algorithm computes a SParse Approximate Inverse (SPAI)
of a general sparse matrix for use as a preconditioner together
with an iterative method (Bi-CGSTAB, GMRES, QMR, etc ). The
SPAI algorithm was derived by M.J. Grote and T. Huckle (SIAM J.
Sc. Stat. Comput. 18(3), 1997), and further developed by S. Barnard.
The algorithm is robust, effective on ill-conditioned linear
systems, and inherently parallel. The code is written in C/MPI.
New features of SPAI 3.0:
- Matlab interface (M = spai(A,eps,..); )
- PETSc interface
- Block-SPAI
We sincerely hope that the Matlab and PETSc interfaces will make the
algorithm more user-friendly. The Block-SPAI feature takes advantage of
a possibly inherent block structure of the matrix, but has proved
to reduce computing time in many cases, even when no inherent block
structure is present.
The SPAI algorithm has demonstrated excellent scaling with increasing
number of processors across various parallel architectures, such as
the IBM SP2, T3E, and SGI Origin 2000 with the SHMEM library.
Best Regards,
Stephen Barnard (NASA Ames) and Marcus Grote (ETH Zurich)

Subject: New Book, Time-Varying Systems and Computations
NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
Title: Time-Varying Systems and Computations
Authors: Patrick Dewilde and Alle-Jan van der Veen
(DIMES, Delft University of Technology)
Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers, orderdept@wkpa.nl
Pages: 459
Summary: Time-Varying Systems and Computations provides a detailed
and consistent exposition of a powerful unifying framework
for the study of linear systems. Finite or infinite
systems of linear equations as well as linear dynamical
systems, be they time-varying or time-invariant, all fit in
the generic framework. The book bridges the gap between
classical linear algebra and dynamic system theory and
shows how central problems in each field can be solved
in a logically coherent way. Aside from the unifying frame,
the book treats problems in three main categories:
- System identification and realization
- Interpolation and approximation of systems
- Factorization and minimal representation.
Classical notions such as inner-outer factorization, Hankel
norm model reduction, interpolation and minimality pop
up, now in an algebraic context. They are treated in a
new, natural framework in which computations on diagonals
of a matrix or operator play the role that vectors play
in classical linear algebra. Because of this, the algorithmic
content of the book is high, justifying its title.
Content: 1. Introduction
Part I: Realization: 2. Notation and Properties of Non-Uniform
Spaces. 3. Time-varying State Space Realizations. 4. Diagonal
. 5. Operator Realization Theory. 6. Isometric and
Inner Operators. 7. Inner-Outer Factorization and Operator
Part II: Interpolation and Approximation. 8. J-Unitary
Operators. 9. Algebraic Interpolation. 10. Hankel-norm
Model Reduction. 11. Low-Rank Matrix Approximation and Subspace
Tracking.
Part III: 12. Orthogonal Embedding. 13. Spectral Factorization.
14. Lossless Cascade Factorization. 15. Conclusions.
Appendix: Hilbert Spaces Definitions and Properties.
The book is more than a research monograph, it has been carfully structured
so that it can be used as a graduate classtext.

Subject: Conference on Boundary Integral Methods
Second International Conference on
Boundary Integral Methods:
Theory and Applications
11 - 15 September 2000 University of Bath, U.K.
This is a preliminary announcement for this conference which will be
held under the auspices of the Institute of Mathematics and its
Applications in association with the University of Bath.
Following the success of the first conference in this series at the
University of Salford in September 1997, the next meeting will be
held in Bath in September 2000.
Bath is a beautiful historic town about 2 hours West of London by rail and
with good links to Heathrow airport and the rest of the United Kingdom.
As of May 21st 1999, the following have agreed to give invited talks
at this conference:
W.C. Chew (University of Illinois), T. Hou (California Institute of
Technology), S.A. Sauter (University of Leipzig), I.H. Sloan
(University of New South Wales, Sydney), L. Wrobel (Brunel University, London)
Further updates to the list of speakers will be made on the conference
website at http://www.ima.org.uk/mathematics/confboundary.htm
Organising Committee: Chair - Ivan Graham (Bath), Sia Amini(Salford),
Simon Chandler-Wilde(Brunel), Ke Chen (Liverpool), Paul Martin (Manchester).
Boundary integral methods are now an established technique for the solution
of partial differential equations in science and engineering, with
applications in many diverse areas including fluid mechanics, fracture
mechanics, acoustics, electromagnetics, inverse problems and free-
and moving-boundary problems.
This meeting will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between
academic and industrial researchers in different disciplines whose common
interest is boundary integral methods.
As well as discussing recent developments in the theory and numerical
analysis of boundary integral equations, the conference will strive to
encompass applications of contemporary relevance such as direct and inverse
(medium and high frequency) scattering, electromagnetics and moving
boundary problems in hydrodynamics. Continuing progress in key
computational techniques such as multipole, wavelets and panel
clustering, together with innovative algorithm design will be an
additional theme.
Further Information: To receive further announcements about this meeting
please write to Mrs Pamela Bye, The Institute of Mathematics and its
Applications, Catherine Richards House, 16 Nelson Street,
Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS1 1EF, United Kingdom. or send an email to:

"Numerical methods for differential equations with time delay".
The project deals with
(a) numerical methods for time-integration of large-scale retarded
and neutral functional differential equations, with emphasis on
methods applicable to partial differential equations with time delay;
(b) continuation and bifurcation analysis of (periodic) solutions
of retarded and neutral equations;
