Subject: Nonlinear Generalized Eigenvalues

I have a nonlinear eigenvalues problem:

(A+wB+w^2C+w^3D+w^4E)x=0

where A, B, C, D, E are sparse square matrices and w is the eigenvalues.
and E may not be invertible.

I can convert this problem into generalized eigenvalues problem by introducing

y=w x
z=w y
v=w z

(0  I  0  0 )(x)          (I  0  0  0)(x)
(0  0  I  0 )(y)          (0  I  0  0)(y)
(0  0  0  I )(z)  =  w    (0  0  I  0)(z)
(A  B  C  D )(v)          (0  0  0 -E)(v)
This problem can be solved by QZ algorithm but it is slow.

1. Is this the best method to solve the problem?
2. Is there a direct method to solve the problem?

3. Is there a method just to extract smallest eigenvalues (in magnitude)

Thanks.

Subject: ADI Relaxation Parameters

Greetings all,
I have written a 3-d finite volume code, much in the spirit of Patankar and
many others. The code is used to solve 1,2,3 D N.S. equations with a k -
epsilon model. Both the standard k-e model (Spalding etc) and a non-linear k-e
model (Speziale) have been included to account for turbulence effects. I have
included both a GMRES solver (from the Templates package by Dongarra et. al )
and a solver using the Thomas algorithm, the mechanics of both are well
documented in the literature. For the GMRES solver I may soon write a ILU
preconditioner, as I have found simple Jacobi preconditioning to be only
mildly effective, as noted in the literature. As a consequence of this work,
I have some questions upon which examination of the literature has shone no
real light [ and I stress that by no means have I read all the literature -
it is almost certain that I have missed many relevant articles].
The questions are as follows:
(1) What is the best method of selecting optimum under-relaxation factors (R)
for the "ADI" type solvers. At present I estimate the maximum eigen-value
(Lmax) of the most-recent coefficient matrix (A), and the code then makes a
new estimate based on how Lmax has varied over a sequence of previous
updates of A. If Lmax is reducing, or is maintaining a value within a limit,
R is reduced by a small fraction, otherwise R is increased. Note that
R1 <= R <= R2 where R1, R2 are limiting values. I feel certain that this
rather ad-hoc approach can be improved. If people could pass on appropriate
references or advice I would be very grateful.
(2) The next question relates to the structure of the solver. My motivation
in providing the code with the GMRES option was to enable a block solver to
be implemented easily. I realise that this is also possible with 'ADI'
schemes, but a GMRES scheme with an appropriate preconditioner seemed useful.
The discretized equations are only coupled through pressure terms and through
the coefficient matrix, in other words the dependence of, say the u-momentum
equation on the v-momentum equation is only implicitly realised through the
coefficients and structure of the coefficient matrix. It doesn't appear to
be a simple matter to extract an explicit dependence, from which a block
solver would benefit greatly (?). The only equation in which an explicit
dependance on the momentum equations is realised is the pressure correction
equation. Wilcox ( Turbulence Modelling for C.F.D ) also suggests that, due
to the relativly weak linkage between the momentum equations and 2-equation
turbulence models ( through the eddy viscosity terms (note: the dependance
of the momentum components through the advection terms is implicitly realised
if one uses HUDS )), there is no advantage in implementing a total block
solver for both momentum components and 2-equation model variables. Given
these points, is there any major advantage in solving the
following systems Ax = b where x=(U,V,W,P')^T and A'y=b' where y=(k,e)^T, as
opposed to solving the mean flow equations and turbulence model sequentially,
which is what I do at present. Once again, comments are welcome.
regards
Keith

Subject: METIS: Unstructured Graph Partitioning Software

METIS: Unstructured Graph Partitioning and Sparse Matrix Ordering Software

We announce the release of the METIS software package for
partitioning unstructred graphs (unstructured finite element meshes)
and for producing fill reducing orderings of sparse matrices.
Release 1.0 of METIS is now available via WWW and ftp.

Application Domains:

Graph partitioning has extensive applications in many areas, including
scientific computing, VLSI design, and task scheduling. The problem is
to partition the vertices of a graph in k roughly equal parts, such that
the number of edges connecting vertices in different parts is minimized.
Graph partitioning is of particular importance in finite element
computations on parallel computers, since a good partition significantly
reduces the amount of communication, increasing the performance.
Graph partitioning algorithms are also used to compute fill reducing
orderings for sparse matrix factorization, and to increase the concurrency
that can be exploited during parallel direct factorization.

What is METIS?

METIS is a set of programs that implement various graph partitioning
algorithms that are based on the multilevel paradigm.
The advantages of METIS compared to other similar packages are:

- Provides high quality partitions!
The partitions produced by METIS are consistently 10% to 50% better than
those produced by spectral partitioning algorithms, and 5% to 15% better
than those produced by Chaco multilevel on a wide variety of graphs.

- It is extremely fast!
METIS is 10 to 40 times faster than multilevel spectral bisection, and
2 to 6 times faster than Chaco multilevel for a wide variety of a graphs.
Graphs with over 250,000 vertices can be partitioned in 256 parts, in
under a minute on scientific workstations. The run time of METIS is
comparable to (or even smaller than) the run time of geometric
partitioning algorithms that often produce much worse partitions.

- Provides low fill orderings!
The orderings produced by METIS are significantly better than those
produced by multiple minimum degree, particularly for large finite
element graphs. Furthermore, unlike multiple minimum degree, the
elimination trees produced by METIS are highly suited for parallel direct
factorization.

METIS is freely distributed. Information on how to get the source code
is available on WWW at
URL: http://www.cs.umn.edu/users/kumar/metis/metis.html

Alternatively, METIS can be obtained via anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.umn.edu/dept/users/kumar/metis/metis-1.0.tar

METIS can be retrieved via WWW from:

Subject: Report from Workshop on Interval Computations

Researchers in Interval Computations Need Organization

(a brief write-up of the results of the discussion
held during the International Workshop on Applications of
Interval Computations, El Paso, TX, February 1995)

Interval Computations (and, more generally, computations with
automatic results verification) are applied more and more frequently.
Hundreds of researchers throughout the world design, analyze, and apply the
corresponding numerical methods. With the growth of the field, the
existing methods of communicating between the interval researchers
(like reading each other's papers, and communicating by mail and email)
are getting more and more complicated. The Workshop revealed that many
research projects are undertaken without the knowledge of similar
projects that have been and are successfully undertaken by other
research groups. This is not only true for applications areas, but
also in the mainstream research: e.g., for some time, spreadsheet
computations have been developed independently by three research
groups: in Finland, in Novosibirsk, Russia, and in Lafayette, LA.

The community is growing, and we need to coordinate and enhance our
efforts: we need to communicate, we need to meet, we need to
lobby and proselite. Currently, we have a journal, we have more or
less regular conferences; we have a mailing list, an ftp site
maintained by Baker Kearfott, and a Web page. However, maintaining
is done on an irregular basis, takes more and more time, and becomes
more and more chaotic.

A natural idea is to follow the example of other large groups and
researchers and organize ourselves. The least painful way is to
organize ourselves as a special interest group as
part of some well-established society.

The advantages of organization are as follows:

* First, being part of the society with well-established traditions
and know-how will make it much easier for us to organize and
publicize conferences, proceedings, etc.

* Being part of the well-established society with an existing
distribution network and existing lobbying and proseliting abilities
will drastically increase our visibility.

* If our conferences are routinely sponsored by a well-known society,
this will increase their prestige, make it easier to get funding for
organizing conferences and for going to them, make it more prestigious
for students and faculty to publish in the conference proceedings,
make the conferences more easily available in the libraries through
the databases maintained by the society.

* Many of us are already paying dues to different societies, so why not
use this money not only for the benefit of Mathematics or Computer
Science in general, but also for the benefit of our specific research field?

* Special interest groups usually regularly publish Bulletins with news.
Hardcopy news bulletins will definitely help in our communications.

What society should we be under? Interval Computations is a marginal
discipline between mathematics and computer science. Therefore, we
have a choice between AMS, SIAM, ACM, and IEEE Computer Society.
IEEE Computer Society may not be a good choice because it is already
a part of Electrical Engineering society, and we will be a part of
the part. AMS does not encourage groupings that much. We have,
however, a very good relationship with ACM: SIGNUM already published
our papers and algorithms. So, it seems like a good idea to organize
ourselves as a special interest subgroup within SIGNUM.

In view of that, it would be nice to know the opinion of the interval
researchers (not only those who were present at the workshop). Interval
researchers who are ACM members and who agree that organization within
ACM may be a good idea please send their suggestions, corrections,
names, and ACM numbers to Vladik Kreinovich at vladik@cs.utep.edu.

Victoria Conference Center
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

About the Conference...

The field of optimization is a fascinating and lively blend
of theoretical analysis, algorithm and software development, and
scientific computing. This fifth conference will address the
most important recent developments in linear, nonlinear, and
discrete optimization. It will feature recent advances in
optimization algorithms and software, as well as important
applications of optimization in control, networks, manufacturing,
chemical engineering, and operations research. An important
emphasis of the meeting is also the increasing variety of
connections between optimization and other fields of numerical
analysis and scientific computing, such as differential
equations. The organizers have made a particular effort to
highlight some less traditional themes.

Conference Themes

o Connections between continuous and discrete optimization
o Convex analysis and applications
o Differential-algebraic equations and their connections to
optimization
o Derivative-free methods
o Industrial methodology and applications
o Nondifferentiable/structural optimization
o Semidefinite programming
o Stochastic programming

The conference will feature seven invited speakers:

Uri M. Ascher
Albert M. Erisman
Martin Groetschel
Adrian S. Lewis
Andrzej Ruszczynski
Virginia Torczon
Jochem Zowe

Electronic Access

Additional information regarding the conference,

Subject: Conference in France on Real Numbers and Computers

CALL FOR PAPERS
2e CONFERENCE - 2nd CONFERENCE
LES NOMBRES REELS ET L'ORDINATEUR
REAL NUMBERS AND COMPUTERS

Marseille, FRANCE
April 9-10-11 Avril 1996

The first ``real numbers and computers'' conference (St-Etienne, April 1995)
was succesfull. Many mathematicians or computer scientits are interested
by this domain. Thus we propose a second edition of this
conference in Marseille April 9-10-11 1996.

Efficient handling of real numbers in a computer is not yet solved in a
satisfying way. The "floating point" formats most often used in scientific
computing usually give sufficient results, but some reliability problems
can occur. Program portability problems could imply some rewriting costs:
some programs which work well with a machine, could become unreliable with
another one. Users (working on computer algebra, algorithmic geometry) may
need far more accurate results (even "exact results") than the ones
obtained with usual number systems. Many members of the scientific
community are concerned by this problem, they could share their knowledge
and come up with solutions. But they do not have the opportunity to meet,
they do not belong to the same scientific fields (computer science, number
theory, numerical analysis, computer algebra) and they have a different
vocabulary. The aim is to put them together during this meeting (the "rule
of the game" should be that everybody should speak a common language), in
order to establish some collaborations.

You can send 4 copies of a printed version of a full paper (not an
abstract) to:
