Subject: Vienna Conference

Conference on Scientific Computation
Vienna, Austria,  14 - 16 June, 1990

On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Professor Hans J. Stetter, a
Conference on Scientific Computation will be held in the spring of 1990
at the Technical University of Vienna.

The following three areas will be emphasized: numerical methods for
differential equations (ODEs and PDEs), numerical software and validated
computation; contributions from other areas of scientific computation
are also welcome.

The scientific program will consist of contributed talks only
(approximate length: 25 minutes). The social program will include a
conference dinner and a half day excursion.
The conference fee will cover the participation in the social
events.

There will be no proceedings of the conference but a special issue of the
journal 'Computing' will be published on the occasion of Professor
Stetter's 60th birthday. Those who wish to dedicate a paper to Professor
Stetter and have it included in this issue should send the manuscript
(conforming with the usual requirements of 'Computing') either to

Professor Rudolf Albrecht
Institut fuer Informatik, Universitaet Innsbruck
Innrain 52
A-6020 Innsbruck

Report: NA-89-03

             The Restricted Singular Value Decomposition:
                    Properties and Applications 
 
                 Bart L.R. De Moor and Gene H. Golub

   The restricted singular value decomposition (RSVD) is the
   factorization of a given matrix, relative to two other given 
   matrices. It can be interpreted as the ordinary singular value 
   decomposition with different inner products in row and column
   spaces. Its properties and structure are investigated in detail as
   well as its connection to generalized eigenvalue problems, canonical
   correlation analysis  and other generalizations of the singular
   value decomposition. 

   Applications that are discussed include the analysis of the
   extended shorted operator, unitarily invariant norm minimization
   with rank constraints, rank minimization in matrix balls, the 
   analysis and solution of linear matrix equations, rank minimization 
   of a partitioned matrix and the connection with generalized Schur
   complements, constrained linear and total linear least squares
   problems, with mixed exact and noisy data, including a generalized
   Gauss-Markov estimation scheme. 
   Two constructive proofs of the RSVD in terms of other generalizations
   of the ordinary singular value decomposition are provided as well.

		UPDATING AND DOWNDATING OF ORTHOGONAL
	      POLYNOMIALS WITH DATA FITTING APPLICATIONS

             Sylvan Elhay, Gene Golub, Jerry Kautsky

We derive and assess new methods for updating and downdating least
squares polynomial fits to discrete data using polynomials orthogonal
on all the data points being used.  Rather than fixing on one basis
throughout, the methods adaptively update and downdate both the least
squares fit and the polynomial basis. This is achieved by performing
similarity transformations on the tridiagonal Jacobi matrices
representing the basis. Although downdating is potentially unstable,
experimental results show that the methods give satisfactory results
for low degree fits. We give details of new algorithms implementing
the methods, the most economical of which needs 14n + O(1) flops and
2n square roots to update a fit of order n.

Report: NA-89-05

            Generalized Singular Value Decompositions:
            A proposal for a standardized nomenclature. 

                Bart L.R. De Moor and Gene H. Golub

   A  mnemonic system of names for several matrix decompositions related
   to the singular value decomposition is proposed:
   the O SVD: Ordinary Singular Value Decomposition 
       P SVD: Product Singular Value Decomposition
       Q SVD: Quotient Singular Value Decomposition 
       R SVD: Restricted Singular Value Decomposition 
       S SV:  Structured Singular Value 
       T SVD: Takagi Singular Value Decomposition 
   The main purpose of this article is to propose a standardization of
   the nomenclature and the structure of these matrix decompositions.

Report: NA-89-06 

                   On the structure and geometry of 
              the product singular value decomposition
		
			Bart De Moor
  
  The product singular value decomposition is a factorization of
  two matrices, which can be considered as a generalization of the
  ordinary singular value decomposition, at the same level of
  generality as the quotient (generalized) singular value
  decomposition.

  A constructive proof of the product singular value decomposition is
  provided, which exploits the close relation with a symmetric
  eigenvalue problem. Several interesting properties are established. 
  The structure and the non-uniqueness properties of the so called
  contragredient transformation, which appears as one of the factors 
  in the product singular value decomposition, are investigated in detail.
  Finally, a geometrical interpretation of the structure is provided
  in terms of principal angles between subspaces.

Report: NA-89-07

		Iterative Methods for Cyclically Reduced
		 Non-Self-Adjoint Linear Systems II

       		    Howard Elman and Gene Golub

We perform an analytic and experimental study of line iterative
methods for solving linear systems arising from finite difference
discretizations of non-self-adjoint elliptic partial differential
equations on two-dimensional domains.  The methods consist of
performing one step of cyclic reduction, followed by solution of the
resulting reduced system by line relaxation.  We augment previous
analyses of one-line methods, and we derive a new convergence analysis
for two-line methods, showing that both classes of methods are highly
effective for solving the convection-diffusion equation.  In addition,
we compare the experimental performance of several variants of these
methods, and we show that the methods can be implemented efficiently
on parallel architectures.

Subject: New Journal on Applicable Algebra

                          Journal Announcement

  Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computer Science

Arrangements have been finalized with Springer-Verlag to publish a new journal
entitled "Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computer Science"
The first issue of this quarterly journal will appear in the beginning of 1990.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers. This is a good opportunity for good
papers to be quickly published!

This journal aims to cover all aspects of applicable algebra in the fields of
Communication, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. This
includes, but is not limited to, domains such as:
(i)   Engineering: Vision, robotics, system design, VLSI, signal processing,
      fault tolerance and dependability of systems ....
(ii)  Communication: Signal theory, coding, error control techniques,
      cryptography, protocol specification ....
(iii) Computer science and Artificial intelligence: arithmetics, algorithm 
      engineering, complexity, algebraic algorithms, computer algebra, logic
      and functional programming, programming languages, term rewriting systems
      algebraic specification, theorem proving, graphics, modeling, knowledge
      engineering, expert systems, artificial intelligence methodology ....

The scope of the journal is best illustrated by the two key-words in its title:
"Applicable Algebra". This implies that it does not cover domains which are not
linked to algebra such as applicable analysis or analytical methods to mention 
two obvious ones.
Purely theoretical papers will not primarily be sought for even when they belong
to "algebraic" domains such as combinatorics, finite geometry, computer algebra
or cryptography for instance. But, papers dealing with problems in domains such
as commutative or non-commutative algebra, group theory, field theory, real or
algebraic geometry for instance, which are of interest for applications in the
previously mentioned fields are relevant for this journal.
On the opposite, technology and know-how transfer papers from engineering which
either stimulate or illustrate research in Applicable Algebra do fit the scope
of this journal.

The editorial board consists of: 
Th. Beth(Univ. of Karlsruhe), W. Buettner (Siemens, Munich),
J. Calmet (Univ. of Karlsruhe - Managing Editor), P. Camion (INRIA, Paris),
