The prize will be awarded to a young scientist (normally less than 45) for original contributions to fields associated with the work of Germund Dahlquist. It will be administered by SIAM and awarded approximately every two years. The following have generously supported the prize: Computer Solutions Europe AB, Stockholm Mathworks, NADA of KTH, Stockholm The many friends of Germund Dahlquist J.M. ("Chus") Sanz-Serna was awarded the first Dahlquist Prize for his distinguished work on stability and long-time behavior of numerical solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations, especially for his leadership in establishing a numerical analysis of Hamiltonian differential equations and for his contributions to a theory for symplectic methods of general applicability. This body of work has inspired and influenced many people working in the fields of numerical analysis and its areas of application; it will undoubtedly continue to do so for many years to come. Chus studied for his Bachelor's degree and PhD at the University of Valladolid, Spain; his PhD was in the field of functional analysis and obtained in 1977. After this he decided to move in the direction of applied mathematics and study at Dundee University, well-known for excellence in numerical analysis, to obtain a Master's degree. This proved a decisive move and most of his research since that time has been in the field of numerical analysis. In 1981 he moved to the University of the Basque Country, leaving in 1982 to take up a chair at the University of Valladolid, where he has been since that time. In early 1995 he was awarded the Iberdrola Science and Technology Prize, given annually to a Spanish researcher for outstanding contributions in physics, chemistry, mathematics or engineering.

C., Statistics dept., former chairman of Stat. Dept. died on April 12,95 at 6p.m,EST, after a long battle with cancer. He was one of the main researchers of contemporary probability theory, a Univ. of Princeton Ph.D. His main contributions were in stable processes, moment theory, probability inequalities, stochastic asymptotic expansions of probabilistic approximations, wavelet expansions,sampling theory, signals etc,etc. He had many students and collaborators around the world. He was always smiling, helpful and encouraging, always very friendly and never negative. He is survived by his wife and two grown up sons. Stamatis was a genius student who came from Athens,Greece for graduate studies in U.S in the 60's. As I know he will be buried in Greece,in his favorite island of "Paros". Fullfiling his dream (of every Greek immigrant) to go back home live or dead! His family is getting ready in Chapel Hill so they fly all together for the last time in our homeland Greece.

Ulrich Ruede ------------------------------ From: Marie-Christine Brunet Date: Thu, 13 Apr 95 15:59:16 CDT Subject: Testing Random Number Generators Dear NAnet-readers: We are looking for recent references (articles, books) for testing random number generators, for random number generators in parallel, and for tests on sublists of random sequences. We are currently parallelizing a 3D MD code, and need a "good" random number generator (RNG) in parallel. Any references in this area (for this particular type of RNG) would be useful; but we are also looking for RNG tests for more general uses (but in parallel). We already looked in the Knuth book for RNG. But we would like to have the most recent research on the subject, as well as on the relevance/importance of all existing tests. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Brunet MC University of Illinois Coordinated Science Laboratory 1308 W.

Language: English ------------------------------ From: Ronald Schoenberg Date: Tue, 11 Apr 1995 16:36:23 -0700 (PDT) Subject: General Program for Bayesian Inference I have written a GAUSS procedure that implements Newton and Raftery's Weighted Likelihood Bootstrap method for generating a simulation of the posterior distribution of the parameters of a general maximum likelihood model ("Approximate Bayesian Inference with the Weighted Likelihood Bootstrap", Michael A. Newton and Adrian E. Raftery, in J.R.Statist.Soc.B, (56):3-48, 1994). There are two versions, one that goes with the GAUSS Constrained Maximum Likelihood (CML) application, and another that goes with the GAUSS (unconstrained) Maximum Likelihood (MAXLIK 4.0) application. The CML version of the procedure allows the placing of general nonlinear equality and inequality constraints on the parameters. Both versions provide for a user-specified procedure for computing a prior. Once the posterior has been simulated, CML and MAXLIK 4.0 procedures may be used for generating kernel density plots, univariate histograms and bivariate surface plots, and confidence intervals. Both procedures are in the public domain and may be retrieved by anonymous ftp from ftp.u.washington.edu : /public/rons.

With PVE, visual cues together with an easy-to-use set of visual queries are used to rapidly discover relations (if they exist) among the variables and how these relations effect various objectives. In beta testing of Parallel Visual Explorer, one medical researcher used the software to gain insight into the impact of various treatments on the immune system of people with AIDS, and other diseases. IBM itself has used Parallel Visual Explorer to improve the way it fabricates and manufactures circuit boards, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in the need for testing and inspection. PVE is applicable in a wide variety of multivariate problems. PVE is based on Parallel Coordinates which was first proposed by Al Inselberg in 1978 and has become well accepted in recent years. With Parallel Coordinates a 1-1 subset to subset mapping from R sup N to R sup 2 is constructed. The images in 2-D of several N-Dimensional Hypersurfaces have "useful" properties providing an analytical and synthetic method for doing N-Dimensional Euclidean Geometry. Parallel Coordinates can also be used for infinite dimensional spaces (Aleph sub o and Aleph sub 1). Based on Parallel Coordinates, algorithms for Collision Avoidance were constructed in conjuction with the new Air Traffic Control System. Al, who consults for IBM, is writing a book on the subject and can be reached, for further information, at aiisreal@watson.ibm.com -- Al Inselberg ------------------------------ From: Des Higham Date: Sat, 15 Apr 95 14:12:45 BST Subject: Report on SciCADE95 Report on SciCADE95 In recent years, the numerical ODE community has been organising international conferences at roughly two-year intervals. The previous conference in the series took place in Auckland in January 1993, and celebrated the 60th birthday of John Butcher. The latest one, held this spring at Stanford University, concluded with a day devoted to another 60th birthday celebration; this time for Bill Gear. The conference has developed the name SciCADE (Scientific Computation and Differential Equations) and as this name suggests, the scope has broadened considerably over the years. SciCADE95 was held at Stanford University from March 28 to April 1st. With over 20 plenary sessions and around 150 parallel talks I will not start to list specific contributions! (See the NA digest from December 11th, 1994 for details of speakers and minisymposia; the URL is http://www.netlib.org/na-digest/html/94/v94n50.html#8 See also the URL http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/scicade/abstracts.html for a complete listing of the abstracts of the conference). Instead let me mention that the key-note talks covered a variety of `hot' areas, including long-time computations, dynamical systems issues, shadowing, error control, preservation of solution invariants, differential-algebraic systems, molecular dynamics, stochastic differential equations and parallel methods. Among the minisymposia themes were software development, functional differential equations, boundary value problems, education issues, ODE methods in PDEs, linear algebra and optimization aspects, and many examples from application areas including atmospheric modelling, astronomy, control theory and robotics. The conference also included the announcement and presentation of the first ever Dahlquist Prize. This award, administered by SIAM, has been established in honour of Germund Dahlquist. It is to be awarded to young scientists (normally less than 45 years old) for original contributions to fields associated with Dahlquist's work. The prize was awarded to J.M. (Chus) Sanz-Serna of the University of Valladolid for his distinguished work on stability and long-time dynamics, particularly for his fundamental results on symplectic methods. On accepting the award, Sanz-Serna relaxed the constraint of a `one hour lecture' and instead gave a thoughtful and personal account of his academic career. He especially thanked his collaborators, many of whom were present, and referred to his training on a Masters Course at the University of Dundee as a pivotal time in his mathematical career. The content and style of his acceptance speech helped to get the Dahlquist Prize off to a wonderful start, and he clearly struck a chord with the audience when he expressed the hope that the award might encourage others who choose to pursue research in the face of high teaching loads. The second special feature of the conference was a final-day `Gear Festival' to celebrate the 60th birthday of Bill Gear. Fred Krogh gave a personal remembrance of his early encounters with Gear, and Bob Skeel and Linda Petzold outlined some of Gear's work in the `pre-DIFFSUB' and `post-DIFFSUB' eras, respectively. The impact of Gear's work on the solution of stiff ODEs is, of course, appreciated by all numerical analysts (and many others) ---in fact one expert suggested that one of the DIFFSUB codes in Gear's 1971 book is the most significant numerical analysis computer program ever written. The speakers also emphasised many of Gear's other contributions to numerical analysis, all of which carried his hallmark of farsightedness. In addition, the audience was made aware of his work in mainstream computer science, and his highly respected abilities as an academic administrator. The festivities continued into the evening with a banquet at the Stanford Faculty Club. After the meal, Gene Golub solicited an informal mixture of anecdotes and accolades from friends, colleagues and former students of Gear. The contributions included a pre-recorded video tribute from Germund Dahlquist. (Thanks are due to Gustaf Soderlind for setting up this item.) The pleasant surroundings of the Stanford campus in springtime and the seamless organisation combined to make the conference a great academic and social success. The organising committee of Gene Golub, Linda Petzold, Bob Skeel and Andrew Stuart deserve a hearty thanks. The participants were left to look forward to SciCADE97, which is to be held in Trieste, Italy. -- Des Higham ------------------------------ From: Bruce Simpson Date: Fri, 14 Apr 1995 11:30:26 -0400 Subject: Southern Ontario Numerical Analysis Day Southern Ontario Numerical Analysis Day '95 Friday May 12, at the W G Davis Centre of the University of Waterloo This annual event provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the Southern Ontario area to hear and present recent work in scientific computation.
