Subject: Solution of Sparse Linear Least Squares Problems

The FORTRAN-77 code QR27, for solution of sparse linear least squares
problems (min ||Ax-b||_2), is now available for research purposes. The
QR factorization of A is computed by a multifrontal method and the
least squares solution is then computed from the semi-normal equations
with a few steps of iterative refinement. For a minimum degree ordering
of A and computation of an elimination tree subroutines from the Harwell
package MA27 are used. A specification sheet for the code is available
via anonymous ftp to math.liu.se (130.236.1.7).

Subject: Markov Moment Problem

MARKOV MOMENT PROBLEM

The following moment problem:

Given a vector (c0,c1,...,cn), a set of n+1 functions u0, u1,..., un
in C(a,b), building a complete Tchebycheff system, find for
t in (a,b) lower and upper bounds for the value of all measures s
(non-decreasing functions in BV(a,b)) such that the integral over
(a,b) of ui(t) ds(t) is equal to ci, i=0,1,...n,

has a unique solution given by the Markov-Krein theorem (see the book
of S. Karlin & J. Studden, "Tchebycheff Systems: with Applications
in Analysis a

What I am looking for is a numerical method to solve this problem in
order to get bounds at nodes of a partition of [a,b]. All the naive
methods I tried did not work. Does anyone knows an efficient method,
a good reference or eventually a code to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance,

Subject: European Multigrid Conference 1993

First Announcement and Call for papers
EMG'93 - European Multigrid Conference
July 6-9, 1993, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Following earlier conferences in 1981, 1985 and 1990 EMG'93, the fourth
European Multigrid Conference will be held in Amsterdam, July 6-9, 1993. The
conference aims at providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of
recent research in the general area of multilevel methods. Participation is
expected to be worldwide.
Themes of the conference will range from basic research to industrial
applications, including but not limited to the following subjects:
- computational fluid dynamics,
- reservoir engineering,
- semiconductor device modeling,
- statistical physics,
- parallel computing,
- adaptive computing,
- numerical analysis of multigrid methods.

PROGRAM
The program of the fourth European Multigrid Conference will consist of
about 10 invited lectures in plenary sessions and selected presentations in
2 parallel sessions. Members of the program committee are P.W. Hemker
(CWI/University of Amsterdam) and P. Wesseling (Delft University of
Technology)

CALL FOR PAPERS
Contributions to EMG'93 are sollicited. Send 3 copies of an extended
abstract of no more than 2 pages to the conference administrator. The
deadline for submissions is 15 December 1992. Notifications of acceptance
will be mailed on 30 January 1993.

PROCEEDINGS
Invited lectures and a number of selected presentations will be published as
full papers in conference proceedings, to be published by Birkh\"auser.
Other selected presentations will be published as full papers by CWI. A
booklet with all abstracts of selected contributions will be available at
the conference.

CONFERENCE LOCATION: AMSTERDAM
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and well-known for its canals,
bridges, gabled houses and museums. Through the centuries, Amsterdam has
been characterized by its international orientation and its political and
religious tolerance. The city is considered a major international center of
commerce, banking, press and publishing and ranks high on the worldwide list
of cities favored with international conventions.
