NA Digest Thursday, February 19, 1987 Volume 87 : Issue 4 Today's Topics: References Request LINPACK and SPARSEPACK written in C ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 17 Feb 87 18:04:57 est From: Richard Bartels To: na@SCORE.STANFORD.EDU Subject: References Request Dear Network, I am looking for references to any articles, or book sections, on "matrix/vector" calculus. The Golub-Pereyra paper on differentiation of pseudo-inverses, etc., is part of what sparks this request, as does the need to do some first-order matrix-iterative convergence-rate analyses, and some slap-dash round-off perturbation estimates for matrix algorithms. What is (are) your favorite reference(s) in this area? -Richard ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 87 14:14:17 EST From: bischof@svax.cs.cornell.edu (Christian Bischof) To: na@score.stanford.edu Subject: LINPACK and SPARSEPACK written in C ? A colleague of mine is looking for a set of programs written in C that offer the same functions as the routines in LINPACK and SPARSPACK. It should be public domain code or at least pretty inexpensive. Please reply to: bischof@svax.cornell.edu or na.bischof@score.stanford.edu Thank you, -- Chris Bischof ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 17 Feb 87 18:04:57 est From: Richard Bartels To: na@SCORE.STANFORD.EDU Subject: References Request Dear Network, I am looking for references to any articles, or book sections, on "matrix/vector" calculus.

Golub ReSent-To: na@Score.Stanford.EDU Numerical Linear Algebra Year at The University of Tennessee and The Oak Ridge National Laboratory The Departments of Computer Science and Mathematics of The University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) and the Mathematical Sciences Section of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are sponsoring a Numerical Linear Algebra Year from September 1, 1987 to June 30, 1988. During this period, leading researchers in numerical linear algebra and related areas of scientific computation and computer science are invited to visit the University and the Laboratory. Graduate students performing research in these areas are also invited to participate. New computer architectures are forcing researchers in scientific computation generally, and those in numerical linear algebra in particular, to study problems in communication networks, load balancing, and related problems previously regarded as exclusively core computer science problems. Thus, computer scientists whose research interests are in these areas are especially invited to visit. Although research and interest is expected to be ongoing in all areas of numerical linear algebra during the entire ten months, different topics will be emphasized during the year. Plans are to emphasize systems of linear equations during the Fall Quarter (September - December, 1987), eigenvalues and singular values during the Winter Quarter (January - March, 1988), and least squares during the Spring Quarter (April - June, 1988). In addition to the substantial number of researchers at UTK/ORNL who are actively involved in numerical linear algebra and related areas of scientific computing, the following people have tentatively agreed to visit UTK/ORNL during the Numerical Linear Algebra Year: A. Bjorck (Linkoping), J. J. Dongarra (Argonne), G. H. Golub (Stanford), J. M. Ortega (Virginia), C. C. Paige (McGill), B. N. Parlett (Berkeley), R. J. Plemmons (N.C. State), M. A. Saunders (Stanford), D. Sorensen (Argonne), G. W. Stewart (Maryland), C. Van Loan (Cornell) and D. M. Young (Texas). Visits ranging from two weeks to the entire year can be arranged. A limited amount of financial support is available. For information, prospective visitors should contact John Bradley, Head of the Mathematics Department at UTK (email: bradley@tennessee.csnet), Jesse Poore, Head of the Computer Science Department at UTK (email: poore@tennessee.csnet), or Bob Ward, Head of Mathematical Sciences at ORNL (email: ward@ornl-msr.arpa). ------------------------------ End of NA Digest ************************** -------
