Subject: Direct Poisson Solvers / Rapid Elliptic Solvers
In 1975, Bank and Rose [1] proposed an O(N*N) method for solving Poisson or
Helmholtz equations on a two dimensional square grid. They showed that this
mathod was unstable with respect to round off errors and therefore it could
not be used in practice. The well known Poisson sovlers that work are the
O(N log N) cyclic reduction method of Buneman [2], the O(N log N) cyclic
reduction or Fourier analysis methods of Buzbee, Golub, and Nielson [3] and
the O(N log log N) Fourier analysis and cylic reduction method of Swarztrauber
[4]. These methods are also applicable to separable second order linear
elliptic partial differential equations.
I have two questions:
1. Has more work been done since 1975 on the O(N*N) direct Poisson solver [1]
to make it numerically stable? Or have other O(N*N) methods been proposed
since?
2. Concus and Golub [5], in 1973, proposed using the direct solvers for
iteratively solving nonseparable elliptic equations. However, in order to
converge rapidly, this method required the coefficient to vary smoothly
and to satisfy
coeff_max - coeff_min
----------------------------------------------- << 1.
2 * PoissonEigenval_min + coeff_max + coeff_min
I have an application where coeff_max is of the order of 10^4, coeff_min
is zero, and the minimum eigenvalue of the discrete Poisson operator is
close to zero. Therefore, using the Concus and Golub method [5] results in
very very slow convergence.
Has this kind of problem been addressed by direct solvers? Has there been
any recent work on solving nonseparable elliptic equations using direct
Poisson/Helmholtz solvers? Of course, I know of multigrid methods,
conjugate gradient methods, and Chebyshev acceleration? I am looking for
direct or almost direct methods for nonseparable equations.

Rice University announces the Computational Science And Engineering (CSE)
Graduate Degree Program, designed to provide interdisciplinary research and
education in the area of scientific computing.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAM
The intent of the master's degree program is to graduate professional
experts in scientific computing who will be able to work as technical
specialists within an interdisciplinary research team. Degree candidates
will be offered: training in the use of state-of-the-art numerical methods,
high performance computer architectures, and software development tools for
parallel and vector computers; application of these techniques to at least

Subject: ICBGM'93: International Conference on Bond Graph Modeling
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BOND GRAPH MODELING (ICBGM'93)
Part of the 1993 Western Simulation Multiconference
Sponsored by the SCS
January 18-20, 1993
Hyatt Regency, La Jolla, California, USA
The International Conference on Bond Graph Modeling (ICBGM) is a new forum for
knowledge exchange among Bond Graphers and for promoting the Bond Graph
methodology to the modeling world through its Proceedings. We are very proud
of the enthusiastic response received to our Call for Papers. We are happy
that a large majority of today's Bond Graph experts have agreed to support this
conference either by serving on its Program Committee or by sending
contributions. We are particularly proud that the spiritual father of the
Bond Graph methodology, Hank Paynter, agreed to speak to us, and also to write
a preface to the Proceedings of this conference.
Bond Graphs, as a methodology for modeling lumped continuous-time physical
processes, have been around for more than 30 years. Bond Graphs describe the
power flow through a physical system. They preserve the topological structure
of the processes they describe, i.e., they are object-oriented, yet allow to
quickly examine the computational structure as well through the introduction of
so-called causality strokes.
Bond graphs, as an educational tool for teaching students how to make good
models, have been very successful. As teachers, we have been able to observe
that students grasp the concepts behind Bond Graph modeling quickly, and they
love it. Students who use Bond Graphs as a tool for designing their models are
much more likely to come up with correct answers than students who don't.
Bond graphs, as a research tool in the principles of modeling, have been
fashionable all along. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of archival research papers
on various aspects of Bond Graph modeling have been published over the years.
Bond Graphs have been understood not only as a tool for deriving simulation
models, but also as a means to concisely and unambiguously describe physical
phenomena. In our view, Bond Graph modelers are simply better physicists.
Bond graphs, as an engineering tool for modeling real-life physical processes
were however slow in coming. Most of the early Bond Graph software tools did
not allow to model nonlinear phenomena at all, others did not lend themselves
to a convenient description of such phenomena; and yet, our real world is
utterly nonlinear indeed. Few of the software tools available did allow the
user to describe subsystems in a modular fashion, enabling him to hierarchically
structure his models; and yet, it is quite unrealistic to assume that engineers
will be willing to describe complex processes monolithically at a single
modeling layer. Such models would be extremely difficult to debug and maintain.
However, Bond Graph software has meanwhile matured to a state where complex
engineering processes can indeed be described elegantly and efficiently as
demonstrated by many of the application-oriented papers presented at this
conference.

Subject: Householder Fellowship at ORNL
HOUSEHOLDER FELLOWSHIP IN SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
Mathematical Sciences Section
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The Mathematical Sciences Section of Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites
outstanding candidates to apply for the 1993 Alston S. Householder
Fellowship in Scientific Computing.
Alston S. Householder was the organizer and founding Director of the
Mathematics Division (precursor of the current Mathematical Sciences
Section) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In recognition of the
seminal research contributions of Dr. Householder to the fields of
numerical analysis and scientific computing, a distinguished postdoctoral
fellowship program has been established at ORNL and named in his honor.
The Householder Fellowship is supported by the Applied Mathematical
Sciences Subprogram of the U.S. Department of Energy.
The purposes of the Householder Fellowship are to promote innovative
research in scientific computing on advanced computer architectures and to
facilitate technology transfer from the laboratory research environment to
industry and academia through advanced training of new computational
scientists. The Householder Fellowship is normally for a term of two
years. Benefits of the Fellowship include a competitive salary, fringe
benefits, travel opportunities, access to state-of-the-art computational
facilities (including both parallel architectures and high-performance
personal workstations), and collaborative research opportunities in a very
active research program in advanced scientific computing. Competition for
the appointment is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
Applicants should have completed a doctoral degree in computer science,
mathematics, or statistics within three years prior to the appointment and
have a strong background and research interest in large-scale scientific
computing.
ORNL's Mathematical Sciences Section has research programs in
Computational Mathematics, Computer Performance Characterization, Applied
Analysis, Global Climate Modeling, and Computational Statistics. The
precise research emphasis of the Householder Fellow would necessarily
depend to a great degree on the research interests of the selected Fellow.
Areas of particular interest at ORNL, and in which applicants would be
especially encouraged, include: computational linear algebra,
parallel algorithms for partial differential equations including fluid
flow through porous media, tools for the development and analysis of
parallel algorithms, computational statistics, scientific visualization,
and "grand challenges" in computational science.
Applicants should send a resume, statement of research goals, and three
letters of recommendation to Carl Ludemann, PhD Employment, Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, P.O. Box 2008, Oak Ridge, TN 37831-6216, marked
"ATTN: Householder Fellowship." The deadline for applying is
January 13, 1993. Finalists will be invited to visit ORNL in
February 1993, and the selection committee's decision on the winning
candidate will be announced in March 1993. The fellowship will
commence in 1993.
For further information, contact Richard F. Sincovec by phone at
615-574-3125 or by electronic mail at sincovecrf@ornl.gov.
