So for example, my number is now (708) 252-8875 instead of the old (708) 972-8875. Some 972 numbers may still work for a while, but may go away any day. -- Chris Bischof ------------------------------ From: Arieh Iserles Date: Wed, 8 Apr 92 10:38:51 BST Subject: Proceedings of Bristol Conference on Dynamics I wish to bring to the attention of the NA-net community the publication of the proceedings of the Bristol Conference on "The Dynamics of Numerics and the Numerics of Dynamics". The publicity material says: "The original conference was unique in bringing together specialists in nonlinear dynamical systems and numerical mathematics. The papers present a broad range of topics of interest to both research communities -- applications of dynamical systems in numerical analysis and of numerical problems and techniques in dynamical systems. Although numerical analysis and nonlinear dynamical systems appear to be incompatible, in fact both approaches to increasing our mathematical understanding are mutually dependent. Numerical analysts benefit from seeing the numerical algorithm itself as a dynamical system, while numerical expertise is useful in elucidating the behaviour of nonlinear systems." The volume includes eleven invited talks and surveys by a range of leading specialists from both communities: R. Temam: General methods for approximating inertial manifolds. Applications to computing. J. Carr: Slowly varying solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation. I.N. Stewart: Bifurcation theory old and new. D.S. Broomhead: The geometry of dynamics. J.M. Sanz-Serna: Numerical ordinary differential equations vs. dynamical systems. D.R. Moore & N.O. Weiss: Sensitivity of bifurcations to discretization. H.B. Keller: A numerical approach to Hilbert's sixteenth problem. R.S. Mackay: Some aspects of the dynamics and numerics of Hamiltonian systems. J.P. Keener: Uses and abuses of numerical methods in cardiology. D.F. Griffiths & A.R. Mitchell: Spurious behaviour and nonlinear instability in discretised partial differential equations. J.K. Hale: Dynamics and numerics. The book has been edited by Dave Broomhead and myself, and published by Oxford University Press (ISBN 0-19-853642-9). A.

Papers about algorithms (sequential, parallel, distributed, randomized, etc.) in all areas of application are invited. Papers on the application of advanced algorithmic techniques to real world problems are especially solicited. Such papers will be judged on the interest and novelty of application, and on the significance of the practical lessons learned. The call for papers and information on how to submit extended abstracts will be available May 15, 1992. To receive your copy, contact SIAM ... n o w !!
