Subject: Benchmarks for Optimization Codes
Recently, I have started a webpage listing benchmark results for
optimization codes, mostly those in the public domain. It is located at
http://plato.la.asu.edu/bench.html
and is really part of the webpage "Decision Tree for Optimization Software",
http://plato.la.asu.edu/guide.html that Peter Spellucci and I are maintaining.
Presently, there are two own benchmarks and one link:
1) Benchmark of some public domain interior point LP solvers
comparing HOPDM, LIPSOL, LOQO, PCX
2) Benchmark of LANCELOT and SNOPT on the large CUTE testset
3) Results for PCx on a large number of platforms
(netlib and other testproblems)
Other benchmark results will be added in the near future. Comments are
welcome as are suggestions for other benchmarks to be done or hints to existing
results which could be added resp. be linked to.

Subject: Student Paper Award for Reliable Computing
1996 Best Student Paper Award for the "Reliable Computing" Journal
In 1993, the editorial board of the "Interval Computations" journal
(now called "Reliable Computing") announced that papers submitted for
the special student issue will be automatically entered
into an annual Best Student Paper contest.
The referee reports and the reports from the members of the editorial
board of "Reliable Computing" served as the basis for choosing the best paper.
It was a difficult decision to make because we have received several
excellent papers.
We are pleased to announce the results. The 1996 best student paper award
is awarded to the paper "Newton's constant of gravitation and verified
numerical quadrature" by Oliver Holzmann, Bruno Lang, and Holger Schuett.
This paper is published in "Reliable Computing", 1996, Vol. 2, No. 3,
pp. 229-240.
In addition to being a very good paper, it is devoted to an important
application (measuring the gravitational constant) that has led to a
good publicity for interval computations (in "Discover", one of the
major popular science journals).
Congratulations to Oliver Holtzmann, the student author of this paper,
and thanks to all other students authors for their excellent job.

Abstract:
This book focuses on the theory, implementation and applications
of subspace identification algorithms for linear time-invariant
finite-dimensional dynamical systems. These algorithms allow for
a fast, straightforward and accurate determination of linear
multivariable models from measured input-output data.
The theory of subspace identification algorithms is presented in detail.
Several chapters are devoted to deterministic, stochastic and combined
deterministic-stochastic subspace identification algorithms.
For each case, the geometric properties are stated in a main 'subspace'
Theorem. Relations between existing algorithms and literature are
explored, as are the interconnections between different subspace
algorithms. The subspace identification theory is linked to the theory
of frequency weighted model reduction, which leads to new implementations
and insights.
The implementation of subspace identification algorithms is discussed
in terms of the robust and computationally efficient RQ and singular
value decompositions, which are well-established algorithms
from numerical linear algebra. The algorithms are implemented in
combination with a whole set of classical identification algorithms,
processing and validation tools in Xmath's ISID, a commercially available
graphical user interface toolbox. The basic subspace algorithms in
the book are also implemented in a set of Matlab files accompanying
the book.
One application of ISID to an industrial glass tube manufacturing
process is presented in detail, illustrating the power and
user-friendliness of the subspace identification algorithms and of
their implementation in ISID. The identified model allows for an
optimal control of the process, leading to a significant enhancement of
the production quality. The applicability of subspace identification
algorithms in industry is further illustrated with the application of
the Matlab files to ten practical problems. Since all necessary
data and Matlab files are included, the reader can easily step through
these applications, and thus get more insight in the algorithms.

Subject: Position at University of Nijmegen
Position at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics,
University of Nijmegen
Ph.D. position
There is an opening at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics,
University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands of a ph.d. position
(``onderzoeker in opleiding'').
It concerns Functional Languages in Numerical Analysis; a testcase and is a
joint project between prof. O. Axelsson (Numerical Mathematics) and
profs H. Barendregt and M.J. Plasmeijer (Informatics).
The major purpose of the project is to provide evidence that parallel
codes for large scale problems as arising in scientific computing can be
efficiently implemented using functional languages. Specifically, when
solving very large scale systems of equations such as occur for the
Helmholtz equation in 2D and 3D for several frequencies of the
irradiating waves used in ultrasound tomography, for instance, there is a
need to develop new and faster algorithms, which can give an accurate answer
in real time during the examination of the object (such as a human body).
To this end parallel computing must be used with scalable algorithms.
A new class of additive preconditioning multilevel iteration methods
will be developed and compared with previous multiplicative type of
methods. To simplify the programming and to optimize the code for a parallel
environment, existing functional languages will be further developed and used
in an interactive way with program transformation techniques for the iteration
solution code. Such a mode of working requires intensive collaboration from
teams from both mathematics and computer science. For this, the
required supervising personnel as well as hardware, is available locally.
For this position we are searching for a candidate who has finished or will
finish shortly his/her university studies in numerical mathematics or in
informatics and who is at most 26 years of age.
The project requires someone who has extensive knowledge of numerical
mathematics, who has excellent university marks (''cum laude'') and who has a
documented interest for computer science and parallel algorithms.
Appointment will be in temporary service with NWO, the Netherlands
Organization for Scientific Research, for at most four years.
Salary will be Dfl. 2.144 in the first year, rising to Dfl. 3.775
in the fourth year. Women and candidates coming from one of the member
states of the European Union are particularly asked to apply.
Anyone interested in this position who fulfills the above requirements is
requested to apply, preferably via e-mail, to Owe Axelsson
before November 11, 1996.
