Subject: Request for Information on Parallel Iterative Solvers
We are conducting a search of available portable parallel iterative
solver packages. The packages of the greatest interests are those that
contain not only Krylov accelerators but also parallel matrix-vector
multiplication routines and preconditioning routines. So far, we have
gone through many well known software archives/listings, such as
NETLIB, NHSE and Jack Dongarra's listing, and have identified Aztec,
BlockSolve, ISIS++, P_SPARSLIB and PETSc to contain all these three
components. If you are aware of another package like these ones, we
would like very much to hear about it. Information about other similar
packages are also welcome.

Subject: Jacobi Methods with Fast Pivot Search
I wrote a source code which demonstrates the "classical Jacobi method
with FAST PIVOT SEARCH". It is for educational interest. The method is
briefly explained in a Japanese text book "SAMPO-TSURON"(English meaning:
Course of Algorithms) from Tokyo Univ Press. It seems the topic is not
known outside of Japan.
The Jacobi method for the diagonalize the symmetric matrix is known to
good for small matrix. There are some Jacobi methods based on the different
strategy of the search of "pivot" of successive Jacobi rotations.
The historical one is the classical Jacobi method, and it is always said
the total computation is O(n^4) since the each pivot search costs O(n^2)
and dominates, and the threshold Jacobi method is mostly recommended instead
even the total number of rotations is minimal for the classical Jacobi.
However, the use of good search algorithm reduces the cost of each search
to O(n) and the diagonalization can be O(n^3) in average sense for the
classical Jacobi method also.

Subject: A MATLAB Differentiation Matrix Suite
This is a software suite designed for MATLAB 5 consisting of seventeen
functions for solving differential equations by the spectral collocation
(a.k.a. pseudospectral) method. It includes functions for computing
differentiation matrices of arbitrary order corresponding to Chebyshev,
Hermite, Laguerre, Fourier, and sinc interpolants. It also includes
FFT-based routines for Fourier, Chebyshev and sinc differentiation.
Auxiliary functions are included for incorporating boundary conditions,
performing interpolation using barycentric formulas, and computing roots
of orthogonal polynomials.
In the accompanying paper it is demonstrated how to use the package for
solving eigenvalue, boundary value, and initial value problems arising
in the fields of special functions, quantum mechanics, nonlinear waves,
and hydrodynamic stability.
This suite plus the paper, which was submitted to the ACM's Transactions
on Mathematical Software, may be downloaded from

Subject: August 17th was Cleve Moler's 60th birthday
Cleve has been a great force in our community. He has made significant
contributions through his research, his books, professional activities
and teaching. He's had several outstanding students and he has always
taken a great interest in students.
And he has edited the Digest for many years and made it a welcome forum
for our community. But most importantly, he developed Matlab which has
made possible the development and understanding of numerical algorithms.
More than that, Matlab has been of fundamental importance in our
teaching of numerical analysis as well as many other areas of
application.
Cleve has recently been recognized for his many contributions by being
elected to the (US) National Academy of Engineering and receiving an
honorary degree from Linkoping University. (We erroneously stated that
Cleve was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering in the
message of 8/17/99.)
We'll be officially celebrating his birthday on October 9, outside of
Boston. (For details see: http://www.mathworks.com/company/cleve/ )
So here's to you, Cleve. You've done a magnificent job!

Subject: Workshop in Alberta on Scientific Computing
Second international Workshop on Scientific Computing and Applications.
Organizers: P. Minev, Y. Lin.
Place: Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. This former Olympic resort is
situated in the beautiful Canadian Rockies, near the picturesque town of
Banff. The Calgary Airport is the nearest international airport.
Date: May 28 - June 1, 2000.
Goals: The second International Workshop on Scientific Computing and
Applications is intended to continue the tradition of the highly
successful workshop held at the City University of Hong Kong in December
1998. The aim is to bring together mathematicians, scientists and
engineers working in the field of scientific computing and its
applications to solve scientific and industrially oriented problems and to
provide a forum for the participants to meet and exchange ideas of common
interest in an informal atmosphere. The goal of the workshop will be
twofold. On one hand it will focus on the fundamental methods and
algorithms for solving PDE's and linear systems of equations. On
the other hand, it will try to attract the attention of the industrial
community to present and discuss the applications of scientific computing
in practical problems. The theoretical topics of interest are (but not
limited to):
Finite Element, Finite Volume Element and Finite Volume Methods for
partial differential equations, splitting techniques and stabilized
methods, iterative solvers and preconditioning techniques for large scale
systems, methods for systems with a special structure, parallel
algorithms and performance analysis.
The applications will be focussed on numerical simulations in the oil and
chemical industries, aerodynamics and environmental studies.
Invited lecturers:
Dr. R. Ewing (Texas A&M, confirmed)
Dr. R. Lazarov (Texas A&M, confirmed),
Dr. O. Axelsson (Catholic University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, confirmed),
Dr. P. Gresho (Lawrence Livermore Lab, confirmed)
Dr. M. Fortin (Universite Laval, confirmed)
Dr. K. Y. Fung (Hong Kong Polytechnic, confirmed)
Dr. Zhong-Ci Shi (Academia Sinica)
Dr. B. Lee (NRC, Ottawa, confirmed)
Dr. W. Alegretto (University of Alberta, confirmed)
Dr. S.L. Lyons (Mobil Technology)
Dr. W. Sun (City University of HK, confirmed)
The workshop is intended to be a meeting place for researchers in both
the academic and industrial community. The organizing committee will also
make efforts to insure limited funding to students from Canada
to attend the workshop. For them this will be both a place to learn the
state of the art techniques used in the scientific computation and to
search for a job. The audience is estimated to about 80 people.
