Subject: Mathmatical Access of Aberration for General Aperture

I have studied about nonlinear data fitting, aberration.
I have searched for papers about aberration for general aperture shapes.
I already have the papers "Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization of Zernike
polynomials for general aperture shapes" written by W. Swanter and Weng
W. Chow, and "Zernike annular polynomials for imaging systems with annular
pupils" by Virendra N. Mahajan.

I want the newest information or papesr and programs about aberration for
general aperture shapes. If you have that information, please send me
that information. I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you.

SIAM Student Paper Prizes

The annual SIAM Student Paper Prizes will be awarded during the 2000
SIAM Annual Meeting, July 10-14, at the Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort in
Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.

If you are a student or know of a student who would like to take part
in the competition, here are the details:

The authors of the three best papers in applied and computational
mathematics written by students and submitted to SIAM will receive a
$1,000 cash prize and a framed calligraphed certificate as well as
gratis registration for the meeting. There is no provision for travel
expenses associated with the prize.

guaranteed publication in any SIAM journal; all papers submitted to
SIAM journals are subject to the same refereeing process and
standards.

Submissions must be received in the SIAM office before

Workshop
Scalable Solver Software 2000 --- SSS2000
at
GMD-SCAI
Schloss Birlinghoven
Sankt Augustin
February 28 - March 01, 2000

Background:

The simulation of climate and environmental problems requires the most
powerful computers and the most efficient algorithms for the solution
of the governing systems of partial differential equations.
The Japanese earth simulator project intends to open new
horizons for this application field with respect both to hardware
and software. A parallel system of more than 5000 PEs is being
built to provide a peak rate of about 40TFlop. Such an architecture
requires solution methods which are both highly scalable and
numerically efficient. GMD-SCAI is cooperating with RIST, the
Japanese research institute which is in charge for the development
of the software of the earth simulator. In this workshop we intend
to bring together numerical analysts, software developers and experts
from climate simulation and weather forecast. We want to initiate
a discussion about the most promising approaches for the different
components of the earth simulator.

The following speakers have already confirmed their participation:

Mr. Yoshimura (RIST), Prof. Trottenberg (GMD), Mr. Iizuka (RIST),
Mr. Nakajima (RIST), Prof. Sumi (Univ. Tokyo), Mr. Sekita (RIST),
Mrs. Rakowski (AWI), Prof. Okuda (RIST), Dr. Mozdzynski (ECMWF),

that something useful may come out. We hope this meeting, just like
the one in Bulgaria, will turn out to be very exciting.

TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE

1. Deterministic and stochastic approaches to mathematical modeling
in population dynamics, epidemiology, immunology, genetics, neurophysiology,
molecular biology, cell biology, pattern formation, bioecology;
2. Computational biomathematics.
3. Nonlinear dynamics effects. Deterministic and stochastic chaos.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

The Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) at LLNL has
an immediate opening for a post-doctoral research staff member.
The successful candidate will perform research in the development
of computational methods for implicit formulations of nonlinear
partial differential equations arising in laboratory applications.
They will design algorithms and develop software for these problems,
implement them on massively parallel computers, and conduct scientific
investigations in an application area related to the specific
nonlinear problem being considered. The candidate will also be
expected to pursue independent (but complimentary) research interests.
Responsibilities include the design and implementation of numerical
methods for nonlinear problems arising in scientific applications,
collaboration with laboratory scientists on these applications,
publishing and presenting papers, contributing to group grant
proposals, and establishing independent research projects.

Candidates should hold a PhD in computational science, applied
mathematics or an equivalent field. They should have knowledge
of numerical algorithms for scientific methods, especially nonlinear
and linear solvers, experience programming in C or C++, experience
in large-scale scientific computing, and experience working
independently and as part of a team. The successful candidate
should also have knowledge of issues concerning portable software
development, demonstrated experience communicating in a clear and
concise manner in both oral and written form, and a demonstrated
experience in the identification of complex problems and solutions
in a creative and timely manner.

LLNL offers a challenging environment and a competitive
salary/benefits package. We are located 45 miles east of San
Francisco, California. To apply, send a curriculum vitae, including
computational experience, the names of at least three references
(addresses, telephone, and email where applicable), and a statement
of relevant research experience and interests to:

Dr. Carol S. Woodward
cswoodward@llnl.gov (preferred)
or
Livermore National Laboratory
P.O. Box 808, L-561
