Subject: The OpenLB Project: New Release 0.8 Available

The OpenLB developer team is very happy to announce that a new release
of the open source Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) code is available
for download on the project website http://www.openlb.net/ . Besides
many new features, a lot of new interfaces have been added. Have a
look and be excited: you will find OpenLB much more user-friendly.

New features are:
- New model to simulate flows in isotropic porous media
  (PorousBGKdynamics).
- New model to simulate turbulent flows (SmagorinskyBGKdynamics,
  smagorinskyMRTdynamics, yPlus functor).
- New model (Bouzidi) for curved boundaries (OffLatticeBoundaryConditions)
  with automatic assignment from stl-files.
- All examples updated with a newly developed generic structure which
  will help to set up user-defined examples more easily. The layout
  now always includes functions for initialization of the lattice and
  the geometry, the re-setting of boundary values before and during
  the simulation and the writing of data to the console and vtk-files.
- New feature for semi-automatic setting of inflow and outflow
  materials using region growing, rename, rename by analytical defined
  function or rename by distance to surface form a stl-file.
- Generic Functor concept implemented which includes new features and
  enables user-friendly handling of pre- and post-processing
- New example (examples/aorta3d) illustrating new features like the
  Smagorinski model, Bouzidi boundary condition and functors.

PS: Please consider to contribute code or join the developer team
yourself to strengthen the LB community by sharing your findings in an
open and easy reproducible way!

Subject: LINCOA (LINearly Constrained Optimization Algorithm)

Please send me an e-mail if you would like to receive a free copy of
the LINCOA Fortran software, which I have developed for minimization
subject to general linear constraints on the variables when
derivatives of the objective function are not available. There are no
restrictions on its use. I seem to have succeeded in making the amount
of routine work so small that it is sometimes possible for the number
of variables to be in the hundreds. Much larger problems, however,
would require attention to be given to sparsity, which I have not
done. I am happy with the performance of LINCOA on small problems too,
especially when one wants a local minimum to high accuracy without a
good starting point. Trust regions are employed, with quadratic models
that are updated by the symmetric Broyden method.

Subject: New Book, Applied and Computational Measurable Dynamics

Announcing the December 3, 2013, publication by SIAM of:
Applied and Computational Measurable Dynamics, by Erik M. Bollt and
Naratip Santitissadeekorn

2013 / xiv + 368 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611972-63-4 / List Price
$89.00 / SIAM Member Price $62.30 / Order Code MM18

Until recently, measurable dynamics has been held as a highly
theoretcal mathematical topic with few generally known obvious links
for practitioners in areas of applied mathematics.  However, the
advent of high-speed computers, rapidly developing algorithms, and new
numerical methods has allowed for a tremendous amount of progress and
sophistication in efforts to represent the notion of a transfer
operator discretely but to high resolution.

This book connects many concepts in dynamical systems with
mathematical tools from areas such as graph theory and ergodic
theory. The authors introduce practical tools for applications related
to measurable dynamical systems, coherent structures, and transport
problems.

The new and fast-developing computational tools discussed throughout
the book allow for detailed analysis of real-world problems that are
simply beyond the reach of traditional methods.

Chaos is a deterministic random phenomenon. Many signal processes 
(e.g., radar and sonar) have a random appearance, and chaos provides 
an alternative approach to processing these signals. This book 
presents up-to-date research results on chaotic signal processing, 
including the application of nonlinear dynamics to radar target 
recognition, an exactly solvable chaos approach for communications, a 
chaotic approach for reconfigurable computing, system identification 
using chaos, design of a high resolution LADAR system based on chaos, 
and the use of chaos in compressive sensing.

Contents: Chapter 1: An Overview of Chaotic Signal Processing; 
Chapter 2: Target Recognition Using Nonlinear Dynamics; Chapter 3: 
Communicating with Exactly Solvable Chaos; Chapter 4: Logic from 
Dynamics;Chapter 5: System Identification Using Chaos; Chapter 6: 
Characterization and optimization of a Chaotic LADAR System for High 
Resolution Range Determination; Chapter 7: Reverse Engineering of 
Complex Dynamical Systems Based on Compressive Sensing; Index.

This new textbook provides readers with the basic concepts, theory, 
and algorithms necessary to quantify input and response uncertainties 
for simulation models arising in a broad range of disciplines. 

The book begins with a detailed discussion of applications where 
uncertainty quantification is critical for both scientific 
understanding and policy.  It then covers concepts from probability 
and statistics, parameter selection techniques, frequentist and 
Bayesian model calibration, propagation of uncertainties, 
quantification of model discrepancy, surrogate model construction, 
and local and global sensitivity analysis.  The author maintains a 
complementary web page where readers can find data used in the 
exercises and other supplementary material.

Subject: Winter School on Hierarchical Matrices, Germany, Feb 2014

Date: February 24th to 28th, 2014
Place: MPI MIS, Leipzig
Registration: January 28th, 2014. Early registration recommended.
Organizers: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Wolfgang Hackbusch, MPI MIS Leipzig
            Prof. Dr. Lars Grasedyck, RWTH Aachen

Hierarchical matrix techniques can be used to treat dense matrices
efficiently. Applications include
  - the construction of preconditioners for elliptic PDEs,
  - the discretization of integral operators,
  - the evaluation of matrix functions and
  - the approximation of solutions of matrix equations.

The key idea is to use a data-sparse representation of the dense
matrix and perform operations like the matrix-vector multiplication,
matrix multiplication, factorization or inversion preserving this
representation.

The winter school consists of lectures and exercises. The lectures
present the fundamental concepts of hierarchical matrices, e.g.,
compression techniques and algorithms for algebraic operations. The
exercises offer participants the opportunity to experience
hierarchical matrices in a number of applications, e.g., by
constructing an approximation of an integral equation or a
preconditioner for an elliptic PDE.
