Subject: NA Digest Archives

Updates to the NA Digest archived issues can normally be found and
searched via the following URL:
http://www.netlib.org/na-digest-html/

In the past few weeks, though, the archives have not been populated
with the most recent issues. We are working on getting this process
fixed.

As a workaround, archived copies of the NA Digest can currently be
accessed via the listserv housed at UTK:
http://listserv.utk.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=NADIGEST

We ask for your patience as we address these problems.

Subject: Dune 2.4.1 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of Dune, the "distributed and
unified numerics environment", version 2.4.1, the first point release
in the 2.4 release series of the Dune core modules, dune-common,
dune-istl, dune-geometry, dune-grid and dune-localfunctions. This
release mostly contains bug fixes for problems in the original 2.4.0
release, but also a number of backported features from the master
development branch. For a list of the fixed bugs, new features and
known issues take a look at the release notes [2]. You can download
the tarballs from our download page [1] or checkout the v2.4.1 tag of
the modules via git. Please go and test, and report the problems that
you encounter.

DUNE is a software framework for the numerical solution of partial
differential equations with grid-based methods. Using generic
programming techniques it strives for both: high flexibility
(efficiency of the programmer) and high performance (efficiency of the
program). DUNE provides, among other things, a large variety of local
mesh refinement techniques, a scalable parallel programming model, an
ample collection of finite element methods and parallel linear
solvers.

DUNE is free software licensed under the GPL (version 2) with a so
called "runtime exception" (see license [3]). This license is similar
to the one under which the libstdc++ libraries are distributed. Thus
it is possible to use DUNE even in proprietary software.

Subject: New Book, Game Theory with Engineering Applications

Game Theory with Engineering Applications by Dario Bauso
xxviii + 292 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-27-0 / List Price
$82.50 / SIAM Member Price $57.75 / Order Code DC30

"This book is a significant contribution to game theory and its
applications, for example, to social sciences, power systems, and
multi- agent systems. It is more comprehensive than any other book I
have read, and it provides new concepts and insights while reflecting
the author's own research activity. It is very carefully written and
will be an invaluable reference for mathematicians, engineers, and
social scientists."  - Alessandro Astolfi, Imperial College London

Engineering systems are highly distributed collective systems-
decisions, information, and objectives are distributed throughout-that
have humans in the loop, and thus decisions may be influenced by
socioeconomic factors. Engineering systems emphasize the potential of
control and games beyond traditional applications. Game theory can be
used to design incentives to obtain socially desirable behaviors on
the part of the players, for example, a change in the consumption
patterns on the part of the "prosumers" (producers-consumers) or
better redistribution of traffic.

This unique book addresses the foundations of game theory, with an
emphasis on the physical intuition behind the concepts, an analysis of
design techniques, and a discussion of new trends in the study of
cooperation and competition in large complex distributed systems.

Subject: Discrete Painlevé Equations, USA, May 2016

NSF/CBMS Regional Research Conference on Discrete Painlevé Equations
May 16-20, 2016
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
Edinburg, Texas, USA

Principal Speaker
Professor Nalini Joshi
Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow in mathematics
Chair of Applied Mathematics at the University of Sydney

Invited Speakers for Supplemental Lectures & Tutorials:
Kenji Kajiwara (Kyushu University, Japan)
Eric M. Rains (California Institute of Technology, USA)

The conference speakers will describe the properties of discrete
Painlevé equations and discuss tremendous new research developments in
the field. The main lectures and the supplemental lectures plan to
address the following major themes: (1) the basic theory of nonlinear
difference equations; (2) the connection between discrete integrable
systems and continuous integrable systems; (3) the connection of
geometry with discrete Painlevé equations, especially the discrete
Painlevé equation; (4) asymptotic analysis of discrete Painlevé
equations; and (5) obtaining special solutions through elementary
methods such as Hirota's bilinear form and Bäcklund and other
transformations.

An NSF grant provides limited funds for the travel support of
conference participants.

Subject: Deadline extension, EURO 2016, Poland, Jul 2016

The deadline for abstract submission for the EURO 2016 conference
expired yesterday but, due to many requests we received, we decided to
extend it till March 15, 2016.

It is not likely the deadline will be extended further so you have
just two weeks to submit your abstract and be part of an exceptional
scientific and human event this summer in the beautiful and friendly
town of Poznan.

Besides from the high quality speakers and presentations there are
several other reasons to be at EURO 2016: the Making an Impact
initiatives to close the gap between academia and practice of OR; the
many workshops, tutorials and satellite events; the recruiting events
and the direct contacts with some of the major companies in the OR
field that will be present in Poznan; the special issues of reputed
journals that will be prepared after the conference ...

Full details of the EURO 2016 program are available at
http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl .

Furthermore, we remind you the early-bird registration deadline of
April 1 (to get discounted registration rates) and that April 15 is
the deadline for the registration of speakers so as to be present in
the conference program.
