Subject: Forsythe SIAM Session and Forsythe Tree

Hi.

I'm organizing a session remembering George Forsythe at next
month's SIAM meeting. I'm thinking of making it an "Open Mike"
kind of session. So, if you are a student or friend of Forsythe,
are going to the meeting, and would like to participate, please
let me know via e-mail to moler@mathworks.com.

In connection with this session, I would like to update the
Forsythe Tree. That's the graph with Forsythe at the root
and "is a Ph.D. student of" links. If you should be on the
Tree, or can contribute anything to its reconstruction, please
let me know. In particular, I would like to hear from each
of the 17 level one nodes about their particular branches.

Thanks.

Subject: Looking for Parallel 3D Poisson Solver

Anybody knows of a fast >>3D<< parallel Poisson equation solver on
tensor (hexahedral) grids uniform in each direction, preferably
compatible with combinations of Dirichlet, Neumann and periodic
boundary conditions, at most one per direction? The target
architecture is IBM SP (MIMD), but anything "portable" would be great
(in MPI or PVM, say). Commercial software is not ruled out.

Subject: LP Problems Now in Florida Sparse Matrix Collection

I maintain a large collection of sparse matrices at:

ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/faculty/davis/matrices

and

http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~davis

These are available via ftp and the www (with graphical pictures
of each matrix). There are currently 657 matrices (1GB compressed)
in the collection. Some of these matrices also appear in the Matrix Market
Version 3.0 (http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket). This is simply my own
personal collection, made public. The Matrix Market has nicer graphics and
more features than my collection (such as matrix generators).

I've recently added all of the linear programming problems from
Netlib (with permission from David Gay, who maintains that collection).
All have been converted into a single standard form:

minimize c'*x, subject to Ax=b and l<=x<=u.

A program written by M.G.C. Resende and G. Veiga converts the MPS
format to a "KAR" format, and a program of mine converts KAR to
Harwell/Boeing and Matlab. These programs are available at my site, as well.
Each Matlab script contains a short description of the LP problem (relevant
excerpts from the lp/data/readme in Netlib, and such), a definition of the
problem (the matrix A, and the vectors b, c, l, u and scalar z0), and code
which optionally solves the problem.

Subject: New Versions of CLAWPACK and AMRCLAW Available

Version 3.0 of the CLAWPACK software for solving hyperbolic conservation
laws is now available in netlib. This version includes three-dimensional
routines developed by Jan Olav Langseth, and some new options such as
dimensional splitting. For more information please visit
http://www.amath.washington.edu/~rjl/clawpack.html

Version 0.3 (beta test) of AMRCLAW is also available, which combines
the CLAWPACK algorithms with the adaptive mesh refinement code of
Marsha Berger. The new version installed 5/28/97 fixes many bugs
from the previous Version 0.2, and includes some new examples.

AMRCLAW is available by anonymous ftp from
amath.washington.edu in pub/rjl/programs/amrclaw.tar.Z
or from the webpage

Subject: MCF, A Network Simplex Implementation, and Soplex

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce MCF, an implementation in C of the network simplex
algorithm. This program package provides the primal and the dual approach, which
can be used in a stand-alone program expecting input files to be in DIMACS
format or as subroutines within your own programs.

MCF has been compiled with several compilers, e.g., gcc (version 2.7.2) and
SUN-CC (version 4.0), for SunOS and Solaris on SUN workstations, for HP-UX on HP
workstations, and for Linux. Moreover, it has been installed on IBM, Sony, and
CRAY computers. MCF has been made quite robust using PURE ATRIA's Purify, a
run-time error detector for a range of memory-related software errors, for more
information see http://www.pureatria.com.

Besides solving many academic minimum-cost flow test instances, the code has up
to now been used to solve real-world problems from vehicle scheduling in public
mass transit and frequency assignment in telecommunication. Combined with a
delayed column generation, it is possible to solve truly large-scale problems
with up to 50 thousand nodes and 70 million arcs in a few minutes to optimality.
For more information on these projects, see our web server at
http://www.zib.de/Optimization.

The subroutines of the MCF library are currently employed for vehicle scheduling
at the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe, which is the worlds fourth largest public
transportation company providing public transportation in Berlin, and is used
for frequency assignment at E-plus Mobilfunk GmbH, which is a German mobile
phone service provider.

MCF is available for academic use free of charge via WWW at URL

http://www.zib.de/Optimization/Software/Mcf

It is also possible to separately retrieve a postscript version of its
documentation, which describes MCF's data structure and interface.

I welcome and appreciate any feedback of MCF users! Please mail it to
loebel@zib.de.

We also would like to inform you that we took over responsibility of the
SoPlex distribution. We made a revision that is now available at

http://www.zib.de/Optimization/Software/Soplex

Please note that this is a new URL different from the one announced by the
SoPlex author Roland Wunderling!

The source code of SoPlex itself is unchanged, but several compilation and
installation problems have been eliminated. If not already done since May, 21,
we strongly recommend to retrieve the updated version.

The new distribution has been successfully installed for Solaris and Linux
operating systems using gcc, version 2.7.2, and SUN-CC, versions 4.0 and 4.1.

Abstract:
The book contains results of two joined research projects, carried out in
the framework of the BRITE/EURAM Aeronautics R&D Programme of the European
Commission.
Industrial endorsers of the project were: Alenia, Aerospatiale,
British Aerospace, Dassault, Dornier Deutsche Aerospace and Fokker Aircraft.
Research partners in the project were: the Von Karman Institute for Fluid
Dynamics, the Free University of Brussels, the University of Bari, the Dutch
Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science, the Technical University of
Denmark and the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology. The first three
research partners mainly worked on multi-dimensional upwind techniques for

Subject: New Book on Spectral Elements for Transport-Dominated Equations

D. Funaro, University of Modena, Italy
Spectral Elements for Transport-Dominated Equations
Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering Vol 1.
Eds.: M. Griebel, D.E. Keyes, R.M. Nieminen, D. Roose, T. Schlick.
ISBN 3-540-62649-2; X, 211 pp. Softcover $ 52,00, available.

This new series will cover monographs, lecture course material, and
high-quality proceedings on topics from all subspecialties described by
the term "computational science and engineering". This includes theore-
tical aspects of scientific computing such as mathematical modeling,
optimization methods, discretization techniques, multiscale approaches,
fast solution algorithms, parallelization, and visualization methods as
well as the application of these approaches throughout the disciplines
of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, earth sciences, and econo-
mics.

The book deals with the numerical approximation of various PDEs using
the spectral element method, with particular emphasis for elliptic
equations dominated by first-order terms. It provides a simple
introduction to spectral elements with additional new tools (upwind
grids and preconditioners). Applications to fluid dynamics and
semiconductor devices are considered, as well as in other models were
transport-diffusion equations arise. The aim is to provide the reader
with both introductive and more advanced material on spectral Legendre
collocation methods. The book however does not cover all the aspects of
spectral methods. Engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians may
study how to implement the collocation method and use the results to
improve their computational codes.

Contents: The Poisson equation in the square.- Steady trans-
port-diffusion equations.- Other kinds of boundary conditions.- The
spectral element method.- Time discretization.- Extensions.- Appendix.-
References.- Index.

Subject: Visiting Faculty Position in Turkey

For the last two years I have been teaching in the Computer Science
Department at Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir, Turkey. The first year I did
this under a Fulbright grant and in the second year I did it under a
contract with the University. Soon I will be leaving the University and
they are very interested continuing to have an English speaking faculty
member as instruction in this program is in English. And of course they
would welcome a visitor who could bring added depth and breadth to their
program. For these reasons the chairman, Prof. Dr. Esen Ozkarahan, has
asked me to circulate the announcement below.

I believe this announcement should be especially attractive to scholars
who have retired and are interested in continuing some activity in their
profession as well as an opportunity to visit a very interesting part of
the world. On a personal note I should add that my wife and I have found
this environment so enjoyable that we have decided to continue to live
here. Izmir is on the Aegean coast and is near many famous archeological
sites. We have found the people here to be very friendly and hospitable.
There is an active Turkish-American Association here which provided us our
first language courses in Turkish and sponsors tours and cultural programs.
