Subject: 100 examples of ODEs

NA Digest friends -- the nearly complete book "Exploring ODEs" by me
and Asgeir Birkisson and Toby Driscoll will end with "Appendix B: 100
more examples".  So far we've compiled 35 of the examples, and you can
see them at https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/AppendixB.pdf.  We
ask your help in cooking up the other 65!

If you take a look you'll see that each is an ODE IVP or BVP, scalar
or system, and in each case we solve the problem with a couple of
lines of Chebfun code and show the result in a plot about 1 inch
square.  Five or six example fit on each page.  We don't know of any
collection like this, and ask your help in making it as interesting as
possible.

Once published next year, the book will be freely available online.

Subject: Multipysics and FEM Simulations with FEniCS and FEATool GUI

Announcing an update patch for the FEATool Multiphysics Matlab and
Octave toolbox allowing models to be directly converted and exported
as FEniCS python script and Dolfin xml mesh files. With the new update
and the FEATool GUI, setting up and solving FEniCS multiphysics and
finite element models have never been easier.

The patch allows for FEniCS, export, solving, and, solution import
direcly from the FEATool Matlab/Octave GUI and also CLI command
lines. For more information, FEATool and patch download visit:

Subject: PyRSB: Python (SciPy/NumPy) interface to librsb

The high performance multithreaded sparse matrix library `librsb'
http://librsb.sourceforge.net/ (LGPLv3) is now also usable from
Python, with the `PyRSB' prototype:

https://github.com/michelemartone/pyrsb

Advantages over SciPy's `csr_matrix' are in faster multithreaded
multiplication of huge sparse matrices.

Intended application area is iterative solution of linear systems;
particularly fast if with symmetric matrices and many rhs.

Feedback from prospective users or co-developers highly appreciated.

Subject: New Book, Modern Solvers for Helmholtz Problems

Modern Solvers for Helmholtz Problems
Edited by Domenico Lahaye, Jok Tang, Kees Vuik
Geosystems Mathematics, Birkhauser Mathematics, Birkhauser.
243 pages | eBook and Hardcover | ISBN 978-3-319-28832-1

Solving the Helmholtz equation is a hot topic for researchers and
practitioners the last decades. In the new book "Modern Solvers for
Helmholtz Problems", the latest developments of this topic are
presented. It was motivated by the TU Delft workshop on "Recent
developments in Fast Helmholtz Solvers", which took place in the
spring of 2015. A number of speakers at the workshop and other experts
contributed to the book, and shared their unique insights into the
topic of the Helmholtz solvers. Various contributions of the book were
based on the complex shifted Laplace preconditioner, which was
introduced in a seminal paper from 2006, written by Yogi Erlangga,
Kees Oosterlee and Kees Vuik. This preconditioner has proven to be a
major breakthrough in the research of fast Helmholtz solvers. Using
this preconditioner, the linear systems derived from the Helmholtz
problems can be solved significantly faster. The chapters of the book
describe new variants of the complex shifted Laplace preconditioner,
in order to accelerate the current Helmholtz solvers. These variants
are based on domain-decomposition techniques, Taylor-series
expansions, deflation techniques, and multi- level approaches. Also,
advanced implementations and the industrial application of the
Helmholtz solvers are discussed in detail. The book is published by
Birkhauser, and can be purchased as an eBook or a hardcover from the
Springer website: http://www.springer.com/br/book/9783319288314

IMA CONFERENCE ON INVERSE PROBLEMS FROM THEORY TO APPLICATION
In collaboration with Turing Gateway to Mathematics
Tuesday 19 - Thursday 21 September 2017
Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK

An inverse problem denotes the task of computing an unknown physical
quantity from indirect measurements. The corresponding forward problem
maps the physical quantity to the measurements. In most realistic
situations the solution of the inverse problem is challenging,
complicated by incomplete and noisy measurements, as well as
non-invertible forward operators which render the inverse problem
ill-posed (that is lack of stability and/or uniqueness of
solutions). Inverse problems appear in many practical applications in
biology, medicine, weather forecasting, chemistry, engineering,
physics, to name but a few, and their analysis and solution presents
considerable challenges in mathematics and statistics. This conference
will bring together mathematicians and statisticians, working on
theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems, and engineers,
physicists and other scientists, working on challenging inverse
problem applications.  We welcome industrial representatives, doctoral
students, early career and established academics working in this field
to attend.

Conference topics: Imaging; Regularisation theory; Statistical inverse
problems; Sampling; Data assimilation; Inverse problem applications.
