Subject: Non-Product 2D Box Integration Quadrature
I am looking for a program that calculates non-product quadrature weigths and
absisas for 2D box numerical integrals. Preferably of the Jenkins type or
higher:
Q=Integrate[f[x,y],{x,-1,1},{y,-1,1}]
Q = A f(0,0) + B [ f(r,-s)+f(-r,s)+f(-r,-s)+f(r,s) ] + C [
f(u,-v)+f(-u,v)+f(-u,-v)+f(u,v) ]
where A, B, C, r, s, u, and v are constants.

For our quantum chemistry calculations we need a fast complex matrix
diagonalization routine. The matrices are not sparse and their dimension
is ~10^2. Fortran highly preferred.
Could you kindly send an answer back to my e-mail address ?

Subject: CWI Survey Paper, Time Integration for Air Pollution Models
CWI SURVEY: Time Integration for Air Pollution Models
Air pollution modelling gives rise to stiff systems of
of advection-diffusion-reaction equations in 3D. Due to the
large number of chemical species, off-the-shelf stiff
ODE integrators are not feasible for the numerical time
integration. This has led to the use of special time
integration techniques. Keywords are stiff chemistry
solvers, positive advection schemes, operator splitting,
implicit-explicit methods, approximate matrix
factorization techniques, etc. With Joke Blom and Willem
Hundsdorfer I have written a survey paper on this subject.
The paper also addresses HPCN aspects typical for
large-scale reactive flow type problems.
The paper (2006 K, 58 pages) can be downloaded from
http://www.cwi.nl/~gollum/MAS1.1/Papers.html (paper 31).

Subject: Course on Interval Arithmetic
Intensive Tutorial Course
INTRODUCTION TO INTERVAL ARITHMETIC AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Responsible Organizer
Dr. Josep Vehi, Universitat de Girona
Speakers
Prof. J. Garloff, University of Applied Sciences, Konstanz, Germany.
Prof. V. Kreinovich, University of Texas at El Paso, USA.
Prof. B. Barmish, University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA.
22-23 February 1999, Universitat de Girona, Girona, Spain.
PRESENTATION
In coincidence with the workshop MISC'99 to be held on 24-26 February
1999 in Girona, a pre-workshop tutorial course "Introduction to interval
arithmetic and its applications" will be organized by the University of
Girona. The aim of the course is to bring together researchers and
doctorate students that work in systems and control engineering so as to
give them the opportunity to have a knowledge of the method of intervals
and to stimulate discussion of relevant problems and fertile lines of
future research.
Three prominent speakers, Professor J. Garloff, Professor Vladik
Kreinovich and Professor Bob Barmish, will provide an interesting and
comprehensive state-of-the-art tutorial on motivations, basic theories
and applications of interval analysis to systems and control. The past
two decades have witnessed steadily increasing recognition and
appreciation of Interval Analysis in solving problems in systems and
control engineering. For instance, problems like analysis and synthesis
of robust controllers for uncertain plants or fuzzy interference have
been stated from the interval point of view. Recent developments have
generated a great deal of interests in emerging tools aimed at
exploiting qualitative, semiqualitative and interval simulation and
their application to fault detection and diagnosis and to system
identification.

Subject: Report on John Butcher Retirement Meeting
JOHN BUTCHER RETIREMENT MEETING
The Department of Mathematics at Auckland University was, over the
period December 14th -- 16th 1998, the venue for a meeting to mark the
official retirement of Professor John Butcher, FRSNZ announced in
http://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~anode/retire.html.
For three days from 8.30 a.m. to about 6 p.m. the assembled
participants presented their talks at an average of about 10 per day,
as a tribute to John and to mark their respect for John, the scholar
and their affection for John, the man. In this those in New Zealand
were joined by about a dozen participants from other countries.
Tributes from non-mathematical New Zealanders included those from
Professor Sir John Scott (President of the Royal Society of NZ),
Professor Philippa Black (Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic))
Professor Ralph Cooney (Dean of the Faculty of Science), Professor Rob
Goldblatt (President of NZ Mathematical Society) and, in absentia,
from Sir Ian Barker, Chancellor of the University. The University of
Auckland review of John's career was published at
http://www.auckland.ac.nz/autoolbar/butcher.ptml
The preliminary programme
http://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~anode/timetable.html
had withheld the name of the opening speaker, a mystery guest who, it
transpired from the full programme
http://www.maths.man.ac.uk/~cthbaker/Auckland/Retirement-Prog
was, a surprise for John Butcher, your present correspondent.
With such an intensive programme of lectures as this, it would not be
possible to provide here a comprehensive review and do justice to
all. Suffice it to remark that within the programme there were nine
one-hour talks that ranged over Runge-Kutta theory, Dynamical systems,
ODES and Lie Groups, error estimation in ODEs, adaptive computation in
PDEs, differential equations with retarded arguments, etc. John
himself delivered a talk entitled "Beyond DESIRE", that (inter alia)
set out some of his ambitions for ongoing research. (Mathematicians
like John never really retire!)
The gathering provided an opportunity for social gathering, both at an
excellent dinner at Langton's Restaurant on Mount Eden and at a convivial
barbecue at the home of John and Jenny Butcher. For a selection of
pictorial images, see
http://www.maths.man.ac.uk/~cthbaker/Auckland/Photos/
The organising committee comprised Dr Robert Chan (Chair),
Prof. Marston Conder, Mrs Nicolette Goodwin, Mrs Bev Grove, and
Dr. Allison Heard. I believe that the quality of this well-organised
meeting and of the individual contributions were a clear indication of
the high regard in which John Butcher is held. The next meeting in the
ANODE Series will be held in Auckland on August 16th--20th 1999 (see
http://matu1.math.auckland.ac.nz/~anode/ANODE99/) following the
SciCADE99 meeting in Queensland (August 9--13th), see
http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/~kb/scicade99.

Subject: Faculty Position at Virginia Tech
The Department of Mathematics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State
University invites applications for senior faculty positions in the area of
numerical analysis with emphasis on computational methods for partial
differential equations. We expect to make several offers at the associate
professor level and above.
Successful candidates must posses a strong continuing record of
internationally recognized research in computational mathematics and
applications. A proven record of academic leadership, demonstrated by the
candidate's dedication to excellence in research, teaching, graduate
student advising, and postgraduate supervision, is desirable. The
Department of Mathematics has strong traditional links with the College of
Engineering, and appointees would be expected to foster and encourage these
ties.
The intellectual climate for applied mathematics at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute & State University is lively and challenging. The Department
has an active group of applied mathematicians in the areas of control and
optimization, numerical analysis, stochastic processes, ordinary
differential equations, partial differential equations and
integro-differential equations. In addition, the Interdisciplinary Center
for Applied Mathematics (ICAM) is a University Center which facilitates
interactions among the faculty at Virginia Tech, industry and other
research institutions. Faculty in the Virginia Tech Mathematics
Department have access to excellent computational facilities as well as to
several national high performance computing centers.
Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. Applicants
should send a vita and have five letters of recommendation sent to:
Numerical Analysis Search Committee
Department of Mathematics (MC 0123)
Virginia Tech
Blacksburg, VA 24061
Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University has a strong commitment
to the principle of diversity and, in that spirit, seeks a broad spectrum
of candidates including women, minorities, and people with disabilities.
Individuals with disabilities desiring accommodations in the application
process should contact Werner Kohler, Department of Mathematics,
540-231-8283 (TDD/PC 1-800-828-1120 - Voice 1-800-828-1140).
