Subject: Israel Koltracht, 1949-2008
With a great sadness, we regret to inform you that Professor Israel
Koltracht of the University of Connecticut died on February 17,
2008. He was 59.
Israel Koltracht received his Master's degree from the USSR Academy of
Sciences at Novosibirsk, and his PhD from the Weizmann Institute of
Science in Israel. He then went on to become a Research Associate at
Stanford University, which was followed by a similar position at the
University of Calgary.
Israel joined the faculty of UConn in 1987 and established himself as
an excellent researcher and teacher. He contributed much to
interdisciplinary research at UConn, particularly to cooperation
between the Mathematics and Physics departments.
In addition to his essential role in strengthening the UConn
Mathematics Department, Koltracht had an outstanding research career.
The results of his Ph.D. thesis were already impressive. He developed
a quite general theory for designing fast algorithms to find the
numerical solution of important classes of integral equations of a
second kind with structured kernels (including, for example,
displacement kernels, Toeplitz-plus-Hankel and semiseparable kernels).
Israel Koltracth produced a number of first-class results in the
theory of structured matrices, many of which laid the framework for
important further developments. For instance, in 1993 Gohberg and
Koltracht studied structured, mixed and componentwise condition
numbers, and applied their results to the structured conditioning of
Toeplitz and Vandermonde matrices. These results, which explained that
fast algorithms can potentially be much more accurate that the
standard ones, attracted a great deal of attention in the community.
Further, Israel Koltracht pioneered the design of linear cost
algorithms for semiseparable matrices, the area that has become the
chief focus of the structured matrices community in the last two
years.
During the last several years Israel Koltracht worked on applications
to physics, specifically on the design of numerical methods for
solving Schrodinger and Gross-Pitaevskii equations.
During his tenure at UConn, Israel supervised the thesis research of 8
Ph.D. students.
Isral Koltracht was buried at the Jewish Cemetery in Willimantic. He
is survived by his wife Marina, by his daughter Jane, and his son
Michael.
We have lost one of the leading experts in the field of structured
matrices, a truly irreplaceable colleague and a terrific friend.

Subject: Announcing libFLAME 2.0
It is our pleasure to announce libFLAME version 2.0, available
2008/04/01. libFLAME is an infrastructure for developing dense
(including banded) linear algebra libraries for sequential and
multithreaded architectures. It includes an implementation of the BLAS
and "core LAPACK".
The primary goal of the FLAME project, a collaboration between UT-Austin
and UJI (Spain), has shifted from exposing systematic methods for
deriving algorithms to the problem of solving the programmability issue
that now faces us given the impending ubiquity of multicore
architectures. It targets the domain of dense linear algebra (most
easily summarized by "the functionality of libraries like the BLAS,
LAPACK, and RECSY"). To demonstrate the approach, a production-quality
library begin released has been developed.
A small subset of noteworthy changes made to libFLAME since version 1.0:
- An interface for programming "algorithms-by-blocks" called FLASH. (An
algorithm-by-blocks operates over matrices that are potentially
hierarchical, referenced and/or stored as sub-matrices). FLASH is now
fully supported with a basic set of utility routines, full
implementation of the level-3 BLAS, and major decomposition-based
operations.
- A control structure that allows developers to easily specify
multi-level algorithmic execution. The structure encodes variant and
blocksizes choices for computing subproblems, making it possible to
execute any sequential or parallel algorithm-by-blocks with recursion of
arbitrary depth without changing any algorithm code.
- A runtime system, SuperMatrix, allows transparent scheduling and
execution of algorithms-by-blocks to multithreaded architectures.
- Many improvements to the build facility.
- As before, there is an LAPACK computability layer (for sequential
execution only) so that libFLAME can be exploited without changing calls
to LAPACK in an application.
More information:
- Visit the FLAME website: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/.
- This release is available as Free Software, licensed under the LGPL.
- For a more complete list of updates, see
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/libFLAME/.
This release targets GNU/Linux and various flavors of UNIX. (Future
releases may be ported to Windows as well.)

Subject: Regularization Tools, Version 4.1 for Matlab 7.3
A new version of Regularization Tools is now avaiable from Netlib,
MathWorks' File Exchange, and my home page. The new version works
in Matlab 7.3, and the update is described in the paper
P. C. Hansen, Regularization Tools Version 4.0 for Matlab 7.3,
Numerical Algorithms 46 (2007), pp. 189-194.
A number of small bugs were fixed since version 3.0 was released.
In addition, the package was updated and new functions were added.
The major changes are:
1. Underdetermined problems are now allowed.
2. Two new test problems are included:
- 1-D gravity surveying, and
- 2-D tomography (leading to a sparse matrix).
3. Several new iterative regularization routines are available:
- ART (algebraic reconstruction technique),
- MR-II (a variant of MINRES with starting vector A*b),
with and without smoothing-norm preconditioning,
- RRGMRES (a variant of MINRES with starting vector A*b),
with and without smoothing-norm preconditioning,
- SP-LSQR (subspace preconditioned LSQR).
4. Two new parameter-choice methods:
- A new function for locating the corner of a discrete L-curve
that doesn't need the Spline Toolbox.
- A new function that uses normalized cumulative periodograms
of the residual vectors.
5. The name of the test problem ilaplace was changed to i_laplace.
The manual has been updated accordingly.
It is emphasized that many functions in Regularization Tools are still
primarily intended for small and medium size problems where it is feasible
to compute the SVD and/or the GSVD. For large-scale problems the iterative
methods should be used, possibly modified to fit the particular problem.
An object-oriented Matlab package, inspired by Regularization Tools,
is available from
http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~pch/MOOReTools/index.html
This package, called MOORe Tools (Modular Object-Oriented Reg. Tools)
is the result of two PhD projects at IMM. Feel free to try the package;
but notice that I cannot provide any support for MOORe Tools.

Subject: New book, Guesstimation
Below you will find a brief description of a new title published by
Princeton University Press. We hope that you will find this title of
interest to your members and will post our message to your discussion list.
Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin
Lawrence Weinstein & John A. Adam
"Guesstimation is a delightful book that, page after page, gleams with
insight into the measure of all things--from house pets to lottery tickets
and from the kitchen to the cosmos. Meanwhile, the authors cleverly teach
you some fundamental chemistry, physics, and biology, leaving you
enlightened and curiously comfortable with all that once seemed intractable
in the world."--Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist at the American Museum
of Natural History, author of Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic
Quandaries
Guesstimation is a book that unlocks the power of approximation--it's
popular mathematics rounded to the nearest power of ten! The ability to
estimate is an important skill in daily life. More and more leading
businesses today use estimation questions in interviews to test applicants'
abilities to think on their feet. Guesstimation enables anyone with basic
math and science skills to estimate virtually anything--quickly--using
plausible assumptions and elementary arithmetic.

Subject: Workshop: Tomographic Image Reconstruction, Manchester, Jun 2008
Workshop: New Directions in Tomographic Image Reconstruction,
30 June - 1 July, 2008, University of Manchester, UK
Tomographic image reconstruction, being a highly active research area
stimulated by a number of real- life applications, naturally employs
scientists with various backgrounds. This variety of applications has
led to a high degree of specialisation within each niche, possibly
preventing innovations to be sufficiently disseminated. This workshop
aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and
techniques developed by different communities leading to the unveiling
of new directions in the field and hopefully triggering future
collaborations.
Our intended audience is wide, however we intend to keep a slight bias
towards mathematical yet practical aspects of imaging, gathering
specialists in inverse problems, numerical analysis as well as
practitioners to discuss topics such as sufficiency of data, stability
of reconstructions, x-ray scattering correction and inversion,
algebraic reconstruction methods, and image post-processing to name a
few.
The list of confirmed speakers includes: Simon Arridge (London, UK),
Rolf Clackdoyle (Saint-Etienne, France), Bernd Fischer (Luebeck,
Germany), Per Christian Hansen (Lyngby, Denmark), Ivana Jovanovic
(Lausanne, Switzerland), Frank Natterer (Muenster, Germany), Sarah

Subject: I Must Go Code in the C (poem)
Enjoy a tall latte with your weekend sailing at C; below
are two excerpts. You can read the complete original poem
by Masefield, and my complete retake on C programming at:
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~davis/Poetry/C.html
I Must Go Down to the Sea, by John Masefield (1902) (two excerpts)
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
...
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
...
I Must Go Code in the C, by Tim Davis (2008) (two excerpts)
I must go code in the C again, to the lonely C and VI,
And all I ask is a Linux box and a mouse to steer her by,
...
And all I ask is a tall latte with the white foam frothing,
And no flung err and no blown stack, and the C goes flying.
