Subject: Exponeniation of a Quaternion
I'm looking for a technique for exponentiating a quaternion (not
necessarily a normalized):
q^t
This will be evaluated at many values of t (not necessarily uniformly
spaced) for the same q, so I can do a bit of complicated setup before the
sequence of evalauations, but I would like each evaluation to be
relatively fast.
Can you offer any suggestions?

Subject: ACM TOMS Back on Schedule, Backlog Reduced
After a year of production delays associated with the conversion to a new
composition system, the ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)
is now being published (nearly) on time once again. In the process, TOMS
has been able to clear out its backlog. For example, many of the papers
which will appear in the March 1999 issue were accepted late in 1998.
TOMS continues to solict high-quality papers on the practical aspects of
mathematical algorithms and their implementation in modern computing systems.
Both regular research papers and papers which include software for possible
inclusion in the Collected Algorithms of the ACM may be submitted. Algorithms
may be coded in any widely available language; recent algorithms have been
published in C, C++ and Matlab, as well as in Fortran 90. Further information
about TOMS, including instructions for authors, can be found at

Subject: Follow up to Simple Geometry Problem
Several weeks ago, I posed the following question on na-digest.
Given:
A tetrahedron and a rectilinear 3D grid.
Find:
The volume of intersection of the tet with each grid cell.
I have had a number of responses that I would be happy to share
with anyone who expresses interest. Thanks to all of you who
shared your thoughts. My specific interest was due to a particular
Lagrangian/Eulerian coupling. However, I discovered via the
replies that this kernel arises in a number of other settings
including computer graphics, the cut-cell Cartesian method, and
certain types of ALE codes.
Most of the responses suggested an algorithm like the following
For each grid cell
Construct the intersection polygon
Compute its volume
A nice exposition about some details of this kind of algorithm can
be found in the description of the work by Aftosmis and Melton at
http://george.arc.nasa.gov/~jmelton/cartesian.html
However, for my particular problem I think this approach is flawed
for two reasons. First, it is better to compute all the relevant
intersection points of the tet with the grid up front instead of
working on one cell at a time. This allows you to avoid unnecessary
recomputation, and (more importantly) it is easier to perform all
the intersection calculations in a consistent manner.
Second, I only need the volume of intersection, so the explicit
construction of the intersection polytope is overkill. This allows
for a simpler approach that works on one face of the tetrahedron at
a time. You may recall the clever algorithm for finding the area
of an arbitrary polygon in 2D. It works by computing the area
of a quadrilateral under each edge, and then adds or subtracts
this from the total area as appropriate. The same idea works
in 3D, leading to the following approach to my problem.
For each face of the tetrahedron
For each cell beneath it in the grid
Compute the volume of the cell region below the face
Add or subtract it to total volume as appropriate
This approach has a couple of additional advantages. First, the volume
calculations are simplified by the fact that I have a rectilinear grid.
Second, the algorithm generalizes to arbitrary polyhedra, not just
tetrahedrons.
Any further thoughts would be of interest. I would be happy to discuss
this class of problems further with anyone who has bothered to read this
far.

Subject: Doing Numerics with C++
Numerical applications with object oriented design
Doing numerics with C++
C++ has a bad reputation for numeric calculations which is mainly caused by
its object oriented design. Using straightforward implementations of
numerical classes such as Vectors, Matrices etc., will cause a lot of
unnecessary copying and therefore decrease performance. This however can be
avoided through not as obvious implementations of these numerical base classes
as is usually the case. We chose an implementation based on the
"Temporary Base Class Idiom" TBCI to avoid the unnecessary copying of
objects.
We developed a templated library of numerical base classes which implement
basic data structures like complex numbers, dynamic vectors, static vectors,
different types of matrices like full matrices, band matrices, sparse
matrices, etc. and also included a representation for Tensors and its
typical operations like contraction, direct product and multiplication with
contraction. Further-on, some standard matrix solvers
like gauss-jordan LU-decomposition or iterative solvers have been
implemented as well as several interfaces to
libraries as CLAPACK or SuperLU (general sparse LU).
The header files are packed in tgz archive which is downloadable here:
http://hft.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/uk.html
The lib is found under "Research" and "Numblib". The performance is nearly
that of the BLITZ++ project, while the compiler does not need to be as much
ISO / ANSI compliant. The lib has been tested using egcs and MS VC 5.0/6.0.

Symposium reminder and travel support announcement
International Conference on Preconditioning Techniques for
Large Sparse Matrix Problems in Industrial Applications
(Sparse'99)
June 10-12, 1999
Hubert H. Humphrey Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota
sponsored by the University of Minnesota Supercomputing
Institute and the University of Waterloo
in cooperation with the SIAM Linear Algebra Group
with support from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Center for Applied Scientific Computing
Overview
This conference will address complex issues related to the
solution of general sparse linear systems of equations in
real applications, or specifically in an industrial setting.
It is often observed that the issues of interest to
industrial users of linear systems solution software are
fairly different from those the academic community is
focussed on. In an industrial context, improving robustness
is more important than finding a method to gain speed. Memory
usage is also an important consideration seldom accounted for
in academic research on sparse solvers. Finally, linear
systems solved in applications are almost always part of some
nonlinear iteration (e.g., Newton) or optimization loop, and
it is important to consider the coupling between the linear
and nonlinear parts instead of focussing on the linear system
alone.
