Subject: Howard Rosenbrock Prize - Optimization and Engineering

The Howard Rosenbrock Prize is awarded each year for the best paper in
Optimization and Engineering (OPTE). The prize is named after Howard
Rosenbrock, a pioneer of modern control theory and practice who
embodied the bridging of the gap between optimization and engineering
that is OPTE's raison d'être.

The recipient for 2014 is Jason E. Hicken of the Department of
Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute. His winning article is entitled "Inexact Hessian-vector
products in reduced-space differential-equation constrained
optimization":
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11081-014-9258-6

The formal announcement of the prize is published in the September
issue of OPTE:
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11081-015-9285-y

Both links above are free of access to everyone until October 31,
2015. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Optimization and Engineering promotes the advancement of optimization
methods and the innovative application of optimization in

Subject: PRIMME 1.2.1 is available

We are pleased to announce the release of Version 1.2.1 of
PRIMME: PReconditioned Iterative MultiMethod Eigensolver
https://github.com/primme/primme

PRIMME is a C library for the solution of large, sparse, real
symmetric and complex Hermitian eigenvalue problems. Based on a
Davidson/Jacobi-Davidson iteration it can transform to most known, and
even yet undiscovered, preconditioned eigensolvers. At the same time,
it provides a simple but powerful user-interface.

Over the last decade, PRIMME has been used by many users and is
recognized as one of the most robust and efficient eigenvalue
packages.  The new version brings several important improvements.

- MATLAB interface (mex) to full PRIMME functionality
- C99 compliance and 64-bit support
- Bug fixes that improve robustness and efficiency
- More robust support for parallel computers
- Fixed issues with F77 interface
- Significantly improved multi-platform support, makefiles, and
  example drivers including PETSc, F77, MPI.
- Improved documentation

Subject: New Book, Computational Economics: A Concise Introduction

New Book: “Computational Economics: a concise introduction” by Oscar
Afonso and Paulo B. Vasconcelos
https://www.routledge.com/products/9781138859661

This textbook blends economics with the numerical techniques required
for the solution of problems, providing explained codes. It is precise
and concise, meaning that it balances theory and practice. The book
provides and explains, with detail, the MATLAB/Octave implementation
of the algorithms.

The intuition and central ideas of the numerical methods required to
deal with the mathematical theory underlying the economic problem are
pedagogically provided. The topics covered also prepare the reader to
undertake more complex models and/or to develop new research. They
give economic readers the skills needed to understand the essentials
about numerical methods to solve economic problems and provide more
technical readers with an easy way to cope with economics through
modelling and simulation.

This book is ideal for all students of economics, mathematics,
computer science and engineering taking classes on Computational or
Numerical Economics. Complementary material and related MATLAB/Octave
software can be retrieved at the book homepage.

Date: September 12, 2015
Subject: Opening Workshop (SDBW01), UK, Jan 2016

In the past decades, quantitative biology has been driven by new
modelling-based stochastic dynamical systems and partial differential
equations. Examples from gene regulation, molecular signalling, cell
division and molecular transport, as recently revealed by live cell
images, have shown that many processes in cells and in molecular
biology are inherently driven by stochastic events. One of the biggest
challenges we propose to address in this programme is to develop
methods and analysis, as well as efficient algorithms for simulations,
to bridge the range of different biological scales.

In support of this goal, the programme will focus on
- Analysis of stochastic dynamical systems and applications in
  molecular and cellular biology.
- Development of efficient computational methods for simulating
  stochastic equations over various scales.
- Identifying new research areas.

The aim of this opening workshop is to introduce participants to the
different subject areas of the programme. In particular, this workshop
will include a number of mini-courses aimed at senior graduate and
postgraduate students, together with high level overview talks, given
by world experts, which will highlight some of the major open problems
in the field.

Limited funding is available to partially cover the costs of junior
participants from the U.S. and the U.K. Please see the workshop
website for details.


The following introductory mini-courses are planned:
- Stochastic Simulation of Models Arising in the Life Sciences I
  (non-spatial models). David Anderson (University of Wisconsin)
- Stochastic Simulation of Models Arising in the Life Sciences II
  (spatial models). Samuel Isaacson (Boston University)
- Narrow escape theory, first passage time to a small hole and
  applications to modelling cell biology processes. David Holcman
  (Ecole Normale Superieure)

Subject: Junior Professorship Position, Numerical Cloud Computing, Germany

The Department of Mathematics at TU Dortmund University is seeking to
fill the position of a Junior Professorship in Numerical Cloud
Computing with immediate effect. We are interested in hiring a young
scientist whose research focus lies in the numerical solution of
partial differential equations and hardware-oriented numerics.
Experience in scientific computing or scientific cloud computing on
parallel and heterogeneous hardware platforms while taking energy
efficiency into account is desirable. Prerequisites are an excellent
Ph.D. thesis and publications in peer-reviewed journals.

In addition to conducting basic mathematical and algorithmic research,
we expect the successful applicant to be willing to collaborate with
the developers of FEM software packages working at the Institute of
Applied Mathematics and participate in joint research projects with
other faculties at TU Dortmund University, in particular, the
Faculties of Engineering and Computer Science.  Experience with
interdisciplinary collaborations would therefore be of benefit. We
also expect the future Junior Professor to participate in common areas
of mathematical research and play a prominent role in acquiring
external funding. A commensurate level of participation in teaching
activities and lecturing is required, as is the assumption of certain
academic administrative tasks.
