Subject: New book, A Computational Differential Geometry Approach to Grid Generation
Springer has issued in the Scientific Computation Series the second edition of
the book
Liseikin V. D. "A Computational Differential Geometry Approach to Grid
generation. Springer, Berlin, 2006":
http://www.springer.com/dal/home/generic/search/results?SGWID=1-40109-22-173671321-0
In comparison with the first edition this edition contains a lot of new
results related to mathematical models, algorithms, and applications of grids.
The book describes a comprehensive technology to generate in a uniform manner
both structured and unstructured grids satisfying the following individual and
balanced properties:
1. robustness (well-posedness, simplicity, portability, etc);
2. comprehensiveness (realization of all necessary grids);
3. invariance (independence of parametrizations of physical geometries);
4. regularity ( nonsingularity, orthogonality of grid lines, small
deformation of grid cells);
5. grid clustering in the zones of large variations of functions (shock
waves, boundary and interior layers);
6. grid clustering in the zones of large or small values of functions
(approximation or interpolation errors, depth of a basin);
7. grid lines alignment with vector fields (magnetic fields in
tokamak-related problems).
The grid technology is based on the numerical solution of inverted Beltrami
and diffusion equations in monitor metrics that provides both individual and
balanced grid properties required in practical applications. The book
releases recent results of the development of this technology including the
formulation of the monitor metrics to realize the grid properties and the
development of grid generation codes. Applications to some fluid dynamics
and plasma problems are exhibited.

Subject: New book on large-scale computations
To all readers of "Numerical Analysis Digest",
This is to inform you that we (Ivan Dimov from the University of Reading
and I) have recently published the book "Computational and Numerical
Challenges in Environmental Modelling" in Elsevier. The major topics in
the book are: (a) numerical solution of some classes of partial
differential equations arising in environmental modelling, (b)
organization of the computations for very large tasks in the efforts to
utilize better the cache memory, (c) parallel computations and (d)
discussion of several applications (including here the influence of
climate changes on pollution levels).
The application of sparse matrix techniques plays a very important role
when the problems solved are very large (containing more than one
million equations). A special sparse matrix technique for such large
problems is also discussed in the book. It is documented, by using many
numerical examples, that the new sparse matrix technique ensures better
exploitation of the cache memory and faster computations on several
parallel architectures.
More details about the new book can be found in:

Subject: Ph.D. position at TU Eindhoven (The Netherlands)
Ph.D. position at TU Eindhoven (The Netherlands) "Parameterized model
order reduction for variability in design"
Project: In the RF (radio frequency) domain, design is becoming more and more
layout driven. Electromagnetic (EM) solvers are used to model and simulate
such layout structures, by solving the system of Maxwell equations in 3
dimensions. The information obtained must be translated into an equivalent
electronic circuit that approximately describes the behaviour of the
structure. This translation requires the use of Parameterized Model Order
Reduction (PMOR). The project will consist of developing and applying suitable
PMOR techniques in EM simulation, so as to satisfy the needs and requirements
for parameterized models for layout structures. In this way, designers can
avoid the time-consuming manual construction of models. The models incorporate
effects that describe changes in the layout. These models must also be
combined with statistical procedures for investigating the effects of
variability in designs.
What we ask: The candidate for this position should have a Master's degree in
Mathematics/Scientific Computing, with knowledge of or affinity with
electronics design or Electrical Engineering, with a profound knowledge of
numerical methods.
What we offer: The position will be a 4-year Ph.D. position at TU Eindhoven,
carried out at Philips Semiconductors/NXP Semiconductors, situated at the High
Tech Campus in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The region around Eindhoven is very
active in the electronics industry, with main centres in Leuven (IMEC) and
Aachen nearby. There is a close cooperation with Eindhoven University of
Technology (TU Eindhoven). A salary is offered starting euro 1813,- per month
(gross) in the first year and increasing up to euro 2394,- per month (gross)
in the last year. Moreover, 8% bonus share (holiday supplement) is provided
annually. Assistance for finding accommodation can be given.
Information and application: Information about the position can be obtained
from the project leader, Prof. Wil Schilders (Philips/NXP and TU Eindhoven) by
email: wil.schilders@philips.com, or w.h.a.schilders@tue.nl If you are
interested in this position, send a detailed curriculum vitae, a publication
list, your course program and corresponding grades, references, recommendation
letters and all other information that might be relevant to your application
to the address below, mentioning the vacancy number V 32.665.
