Subject: NSIPS Available in the NEOS server
Dear NA readers,
We are pleased to announce that the software package NSIPS v2.1 is now
available in the NEOS server (http://www-neos.mcs.anl.gov/)
We thank Hans D. Mittelmann for this implementation in the NEOS server.
NSIPS (Nonlinear Semi-Infinite Programming Solver) is a solver that uses
the SIPAMPL interface to connect to AMPL. The new version additionally
implements an interior point method for semi-infinite programming.
NSIPS addresses standard semi-infinite programming problems and the full
version requires the use of the NPSOL software. The full version can be
used in the NEOS server.
Best regards,

Subject: Root-finding for ODEs
Dear NA-Netters,
I have a classical system of ordinary differential equations :
y'(x) = Fj(x,y(x)) with y(x=o) = y0 , j=1, ... , n
My problem (i.e. event location or implicit output) is to
find a FIRST point Xs such that ONE of the equations (g-stop):
Gi(x,y(x)) = 0 i = 1, ..., m
is satisfied at x = Xs on the current integration interval
[x ; x+h].
On [x ; x+h], the ODEs'solution y(x) is computed by a dense
output algorithm.
So, the problem is to find the FIRST root of an equation
G(x,y(x)) = 0 on an interval [a ; b] , It is assumed that G is
a continuous function on [a ; b].
I am very interested by "good" root-finding(s) for the following cases:
=> G(x,y(x)) : polynomial form,
=> G(x,y(x)) : general function
Do you know effective methods (and free Fortran or C codes)
to solve this problem ? Any references (papers,preprints,
links, ...) would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Linear Systems of ODEs
Dear NA-Netters (another question about ODEs),
The position and the velocity partial derivatives of the
satellite motion with respect to any parameter appearing in
the acceleration model or to initial state may be obtained
by the numerical integration of a linear system of differential
equations with time varying coefficients:
Y''(t) = A(t)*Y(t) + B(t)*Y'(t) + C(t) (1)
Usually, this equations are integrated with the same classical
methods (Cowell, Stormer, Runge-Kutta, ..) as the nonlinear
ODEs system of the satellite motion :
X''(t) = F(t, X(t), X'(t))
with X(t): satellite position velocity vector
For the system (1), are there methods more effective than
traditional methods ?
Do you know effective methods (and free Fortran or C codes)
to solve this problem ? Any references (papers,preprints,
links, ...) would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

The 6th International Workshop
on Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing
CASC 2003
September 20-26, 2003
Passau, Germany
First Announcement and Call for Papers
The methods of Scientific Computing play an important role in research
and engineering applications in the natural and the engineering
sciences. The significance and impact of computer algebra methods and
computer algebra systems for scientific computing has increased
considerably in recent times. Nowadays, such general-purpose computer
algebra systems as Mathematica, Maple, MuPAD and others enable their users
to solve the following three important tasks within a uniform framework:
symbolic manipulation
numerical computation
visualization
The ongoing development of such systems, including their adaptation to
parallel environments, puts them to the forefront in scientific computing
and enables the practical solution of many complex applied problems in the
domains of natural sciences and engineering.
The topics addressed in the workshop cover all the basic areas of
scientific computing provided by application of computer algebra methods
and software:
computer algebra and approximate computations
numerical simulation using computer algebra systems
parallel symbolic-numeric computation
problem-solving environment
symbolic-numeric interface
Internet accessible symbolic and numeric computation
symbolic-numeric methods for differential and differential-algebraic equations
computer algebra based simulations
algebraic methods for nonlinear polynomial equations and inequalities
symbolic and numerical computation in systems engineering and modeling
algorithmic and complexity considerations in computer algebra
computer algebra in industry
solving problems in natural sciences
The workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and
engineers in the fields of mathematics, computer science, numerical
analysis, industry, etc. An important goal of the workshop is to bring
together all these specialists for the purpose of fostering progress
on current questions and problems in advanced scientific computing.
