Subject: A Complex Symmetric Tridiagonal Eigenvalue Problem
Background
We use (x, y, z) do denote position in three coordinates. The
inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation is
[ d^2/dx^2 + d^2/dy^2 + d^2/dz^2 ] F (x, y, z) + k(x, y, z)^2 F (x, y, z) = 0
It is often useful to concentrate on the dependence of k on one spatial
coordinate x , leading to a mode eigenvalue equation
d^2/dx^2 f(x) + k0(x)^2 f(x) = b f(x)
where k0 resembles k in some appropriate way.
For the problems we are interested in, there is absorption of the wave,
which means that k0(x)^2 is complex valued. If one makes the standard
centered second difference approximation for d^2/dx^2 f(x) in a bounded
domain with homogeneous (e. g., f = 0 ) boundary conditions, one is led to
a matrix eigenvalue problem. The matrix is tridiagonal and symmetric with
complex elements along the diagonal and real elements above and below the
diagonal. The matrix it is not Hermitian; in fact we are interested in the
case where it is not even normal. Thus we are lead to the following
question:
Question
Suppose that D is an n by n real diagonal matrix, S is an n by n real
symmetric tridiagonal matrix, and D S is not equal to S D (the matrices do
not commute). What is the best available routine for finding the
eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix S + i D when the dimension n is
between 1 and 1000 ?
It appears that the following article describes
a method that is appropriate:
A QL procedure for computing the eigenvalues of complex symmetric
tridiagonal matrices SIAM J. Matrix Anal App Vol 17, No 1, pp 83-109 1996.
It also appears that the authors have implemented this method in the
routine CMTQL1. Where can one download a copy of this routine ?

Subject: Reference Values for Spheroidal Functions
Hello,
I'm looking for reference values for spheroidal functions. In the book
"Spheroidal Wave Functions in Electromagnetic Theory" (Li, Kang, Leong
2002) the authors state:
"It is also found that some of the previous computed results of spheroidal
eigenvalues and spheroidal harmonics are not accurate [...], although they
have been used elsewhere for many years [...]."
The references where that have been used for many years are 1) Flammer,
"Spheroidal Wave Functions" (1957) and 2) Abramovitz, Stegun, "Handbook of
Mathematical Functions" (1972).
My question now is: what reference values are in use nowadays to validate
implementations of spheroidal wave functions? Are there still numerical
discrepancies?

Subject: Origin of Packed Format for Arrays
In last week's NA Digest, Fred Gustavson asked
I am trying to find out who first proposed packed format for symmetric and
triangular arrays. It appears that many people used packed format early on
and it then got adopted in early linear algebra codes such as the Handbook
of Automatic Computation, Eispack and Linpack. I do know that Velvel Kahan
used this format for a matrix package he developed in 1958.
The first software manual was issued by the University of Cambridge Mathematical
Laboratory in September 1950. The Director Dr M. V. Wilkes edited the
"Report on the Preparation of Programmes for the EDSAC and the Use of the
Library of Subroutines". That first edition was produced on a spirit duplicator
(in violet and crimson), and hence less than 100 copies could be printed.
The subroutines were carefully chosen and very skillfully written. But only
two subroutines deal with linear algebra: V2 Addition and subtraction of
n dimensional vectors, and V1 Multiplication of vector by symmetric matrix.
The specification for V1 states that "Given a symmetric n-by-n matrix of
which only (1/2)n(n+1) elements are stored" (Part 2, page 26), and the complete
subroutine (in EDSAC machine code) is given in Part 3, pages 38 & 39.
A revised version of that Cambridge manual was then published as "The
Preparation of Programs for an Electronic Digital Computer, with special
reference to the EDSAC, and the use of a library of subroutines", by Maurice
V. Wilkes, David J. Wheeler and Stanley Gill, Addison-Wesley Press, Inc.,
Cambridge 42, Mass. USA, 1951 (with many later editions). That book had
immense and beneficial influence upon computer programming. Subroutine V1
is printed (in black and white, not violet and crimson) on pages 102 & 103.

A. Iske: "Multiresolution Methods in Scattered Data Modelling",
Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, Vol. 37,
Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 2004, 182 p., ISBN 3-540-20479-2.
This application-oriented work concerns the design of efficient,
robust and reliable algorithms for the numerical simulation of
multiscale phenomena. To this end, various modern techniques from
scattered data modelling, such as splines over triangulations and
radial basis functions, are combined with customized adaptive
strategies. The resulting multiresolution methods are thinning
algorithms, multilevel approximation schemes, and meshfree
discretizations for transport equations. The utility of the
algorithmic approach taken in this research is supported by the
wide range of applications, including image compression,
hierarchical surface visualization, and multiscale flow simulation.
Special emphasis is placed on comparisons between the various
numerical algorithms developed in this work and comparable
state-of-the-art methods.

NONSMOOTH MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

Short Description:
In many real-life problems coming from engineering or economics one can
encounter nondifferentiable or discontinuous functions and set-valued
mappings. A deep study of the properties of these maps including a
certain generalized differential calculus is the subject of nonsmooth
analysis. We shall focus on some problems in mechanics of solids which
lead to such models.
The classical mechanics (statics and dynamics) of solids provide a large
number of nonsmooth effects: contact problems, collisions, stick-slip
motions connected with friction,
delaminations in composites. All these effects can be mathematically
described by means of differential inclusions. The mathematical research
in this area began at sixties assuming
multivalued parts to be represented firstly by maximal monotone
mappings, i.e. the case leading to variational inequalities. The
monotonicity assumption however turns out to be very restrictive. In
practice, we meet a lot of problems whose basic constitutive laws are no
longer monotone. At the beginning of eighties Prof. P.D. Panagiotopoulos
used tools of nonsmmoth analysis and introduced what he called
hemivariational inequalities (HE). HE's represent an appropriate
mathematical tool enabling us to involve nonmonotone multivalued
relations into the model. Due to HE's, the range of problems which can
be now rigorously treated is enlarged.
The goal of this course is to illustrate the potential of nonsmooth
analysis in modelling of various problems in mechanics of solids. The
emphasis will be laid on the completeness and mathematical
correctness of the presentation, although several industrial
applications will be presented. It will cover the following topics:
nonsmooth modelling of problems in mechanics of solids, the mathematical
theory of variational and hemivariational inequalities, approximation of
variational and hemivariational inequalities by finite element and
boundary element methods, the numerical realization (including smoothing
and regularisation techniques), algorithms and applications from civil
and mechanical engineering and related optimal design and identification
problems.
A number of well-known experts and active researchers in the field,
including mathematicians and engineers, will report on classical and new
results covering all the above mentioned topics. The presentation of all
these topics will be carefully balanced between theory, numerical
methods and applications. The summer school is addressed to graduate
students, PhD candidates and young faculty members in mathematics,
physical sciences and engineering.
Engineers working on advanced applications of computational mechanics
and modelling of highly nonlinear and nonsmooth effects such as contact
and friction problems in industry (civil, aerospace, automotive) as well
as applied mathematicians and computer scientists (dealing with
nonsmooth analysis, optimisation, calculus of variations, computational
mechanics) will benefit from the course.
