Subject: INTLAB Version 11 - Reliable Computing in Matlab

Version 11 of INTLAB, the Matlab/Octave toolbox for Reliable
Computing, is now available at http://www.ti3.tuhh.de . The main
addition are verified ODE solvers for initial value problems. The ODE
toolbox including a large (internal) test library was entirely written
by Florian Buenger from my institute. It comprises of
- The AWA toolbox implementing Lohner's algorithm, and
- The Taylor model toolbox including improvements and corrections.

Results computed by INTLAB are verified to be correct in a completely
rigorous mathematical sense. That includes all possible computational
inaccuracies, from the input to the output of data. In particular,
input data, e.g. initial conditions, may be afflicted with
tolerances. In that case error bounds for the solution of all problems
for data within the tolerances are computed. Florian Buenger has gone
to much trouble to diminish the interpretation overhead. As a result,
his Matlab/INTLAB implementation of the Taylor model approach is
sometimes faster than existing C and Fortran implementations. That
could not be achieved for the AWA toolbox. Users may also enjoy the
clearly readable code of the AWA and the Taylor model toolbox with
many detailed explanations. To get familiar with the ODE and other
INTLAB toolboxes and for some timings, see the demos at
http://www.ti3.tuhh.de .

INTLAB is entirely written in Matlab/Octave. It runs on the
forthcoming Matlab 2018b and is downward compatible down to R2016b.

Subject: New Book, An Introduction to Finite Tight Frames

An introduction to finite tight frames.
Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis. Birkhauser/Springer,
New York, 2018. xx+587 pp. ISBN: 978-0-8176-4814-5;

This book is an introduction to the theory and applications of finite
tight frames (redundant orthonormal bases), an area that has developed
rapidly in the last decade. Stimulating much of this growth are the
applications of finite frames to diverse fields, such as signal
processing, quantum information theory, multivariate orthogonal
polynomials, and remote sensing.

In addition to being a great reference for the basic theory, many
areas of current research interest are presented. These include: the
variational characterisation of tight frames and its relation to
spherical designs, the algebraic variety of tight frames, the
classification of tight frames up to unitary and projective unitary
equivalence, group frames (including harmonic frames and various
constructions of tight frames from nonabelian groups), sets of real
and complex equiangular lines, mutually unbiased bases, Zauner's
conjecture on SICs (including the Clifford and Galois actions, and a
list of the known SICs), tight frames of orthogonal polynomials on a
simplex, and continuous tight frames for finite dimensional spaces.

The book is self contained, with solutions to all the exercises given.

Research+ Program (Research + Training + Network) comprises an
excellent research environment in the vibrant Berlin/Potsdam area,
fascinating and innovative research projects in a highly relevant
field, truly transdisciplinary supervision, an individual mentorship
from one of the industry partners, a specifically tailored training
program of compact modules, a network of peers and a highly
competitive 3.5 years fellowship. The PharMetrX Training+ Program
(Training + Network) offers a specifically tailored training program
of compact modules that convey the foundations in pharmacokinetics &
pharmacodynamics, systems biology, statistics etc. as well as a
network of peers. It is open for PhD students who have already started
their PhD in the field of pharmacometrics or will do so soon. Both
programs are open to candidates with a university degree in pharmacy,
mathematics/ statistics, bioinformatics, life sciences or
medicine. See https://www.PharMetrX.de for further details.

Deadline for applications:  September 15th, 2018.

PharMetrX is a joint program of Freie Universitat Berlin and the
Universitat Potsdam, supported by a consortium of global
research-driven pharmaceutical companies.
