Subject: John G. Lewis

John G. Lewis died peacefully in his sleep on June 10, about three
years after a diagnosis of ALS.

After teaching at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, John studied computer
science at Stanford University, completing his PhD dissertation on the
Lanczos algorithm in 1976. He taught at Johns Hopkins University
before moving to Boeing Computer Services, retiring as a Technical
Fellow, and then to Cray Inc. He worked with Iain Duff and Roger
Grimes to compile the Boeing Sparse Matrix Collection, hugely
influential in the development of mathematical software. He also
contributed many high-quality algorithms for sparse matrix
problems. He was part of a team awarded the ACM Gordon Bell Prize in
1988.

His friends remember John for his integrity, his passion for the
outdoors, and his untiring activity, right up until his death, for
social justice and the environment.

He is especially missed by his wife Fran, sons Steven and David, and
two grandchildren.

Subject: Deadline Extended: Sparse Days, France, Jul 2019

The Annual Sparse Days meeting will be held at CERFACS in Toulouse on
11 and 12 July 2019.  The deadline for registration is 21st June using
the web site https://sparsedays.cerfacs.fr/en.

As usual, there is no registration fee but interested parties should
register using the website.  Please do register before the 21st June
since it will greatly help our organization. When you register, you
should indicate whether you want to give a talk and whether you want
to attend our traditional conference dinner on the evening of Thursday
11th. The dinner will be held at Les Caves de la Marechale (free of
charge for students, 22 euros for non-students, 43 euros for extra
guests).

The normal length for the talk and questions is 30 minutes but this is
open to negotiation in either direction subject to the fact that as
usual we will not be having parallel sessions.

For participants wanting to go to the ICIAM meeting in Valencia there
is a summer scheduled flight on Easyjet that flies non-stop to
Valencia leaving Toulouse at 11.45 on Sunday 14th.  If you are worried
about your carbon footprint there is a regular train service or you
can drive; both options taking around 7.5 hours.

International Workshop on *Uncertainty Quantification, Machine
Learning & Bayesian Statistics in Scientific Computing* Heidelberg
University, 1st-5th July 2019 Website:
https://sites.google.com/view/match2019/overview

There is no fee associated with this workshop! You can register at:
https://sites.google.com/view/match2019/contact-registration

The workshop is sponsored by Mathematics Center Heidelberg (MATCH) and
by the Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational
Methods for the Sciences (HGS MathComp) and forms part of the MATCH
Thematic Semester with the same title.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working in
Uncertainty Quantification, Machine Learning and Bayesian Statistics
with a particular focus on high- and infinite-dimensional problems
from scientific computing, where the sparsity or uncertainty of data
requires an integration of inference and learning algorithms with
established physical models, such as partial differential
equations. Advances in this complex field of research require a
concerted effort from many disciplines, which we hope to foster at the
workshop.

Subject: Inverse Problems from Theory to Application, UK, Sep 2019

2nd IMA Conference On Inverse Problems From Theory To Application 4-6
September 2019, University College London, Gower Street, London, WC1E
6BT, UK

An inverse problem refers to a situation where the quantity of
interest cannot be measured directly, but only through an action of a
nontrivial operator of which it is a parameter. The corresponding
operator, also called forward operator, stems from a physical
application modelling.  Prominent examples include: Radon and Fourier
transforms for X-ray CT and MRI, respectively or partial differential
equations e.g. EIT or DOT.  The prevalent characteristics of inverse
problems is their ill-posedness i.e. lack of uniqueness and/or
stability of the solution. This situation is aggravated by the
physical limitations of the measurement acquisition such as noise or
incompleteness of the measurements. Inverse problems are ubiquitous in
applications from bio-medical, science and engineering to security
screening and industrial process monitoring. The challenges span from
the analysis to efficient numerical solution.  This conference will
bring together mathematicians and statisticians, working on
theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems, as well as
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.

Topic list: Imaging; Inverse problems in partial differential
equations (Memorial Lecture for Slava Kurylev) Model and data driven
methods for inverse problems; Optimization and statistical
learning; Statistical inverse problems.

Call for Papers - Papers will be accepted for the conference based on
a 100 word abstract for oral or poster presentation. We welcome
abstracts to be submitted by 30 June via https://my.ima.org.uk. Please
indicate whether your title is intended for oral "presentation" or
"poster" presentation. Please send your abstracts in plain text format
(no equations).

Registration is now open via https://my.ima.org.uk/

Project: Conformal Geometric Algebra for NMR Protein Structure
Determination Supervisor: Jose Mario Martinez Perez

Description: The calculation of the 3D structure of a protein
molecule, using distances between nearby atoms from Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance (NMR) experiments, is a fundamental problem in computational
biology. The problem is NP-hard, known in the literature by the
Molecular Distance Geometry Problem (MDGP). The problem can be
described using a graph, where each vertex is related to an atom of
the protein and when the distance is known between two atoms, we
define an edge between the respective vertices, with weight given by
the distance value. To solve the MDGP is to obtain an immersion of the
graph in the 3D space, in such a way that the calculated Euclidean
distances between pairs of atoms are equal to the weights of the
corresponding edges. Considering that the distances of the NMR
experiments are precise values, there is a combinatorial approach that
allows the problem search space to be represented by a binary tree,
where an exact Branch & Prune (BP) method is defined to explore the
tree for solutions. The first attempt to generalize these results in
order to include the uncertainties of the experimental data (with the
distances being represented by "interval" values), was to consider
samples at the associated intervals. This idea made the BP algorithm a
heuristic, since it can no longer be guaranteed that a solution will
be found. Refined samples exponentially increase the search space (the
associated tree is no longer binary), and even then, the solution can
be "lost" if the correct distance is between the values selected by
the sampling process. To maintain the properties of the combinatorial
approach and at the same time to consider the interval distances of
the experimental data, we are proposing to represent the protein
molecule in a space of 5 dimensions (Conformal Space), using a
language more powerful than Linear Algebra: Geometric Algebra. The
Conformal Model can be seen as an extension of the Projective Model,
which uses homogeneous coordinates (4 dimensions), widely used in
computational geometry problems. It is desirable that the candidate
should be prepared to work in a multidisciplinary research group,
since the real data will be collected from NMR labs.  The research
will be led jointly by Prof. Carlile Lavor.  Requirements: Applicants
should have PhD in Applied Mathematics with some experience with the
softwares Mathematica and Gaalop.  Candidates must have got their PhD
in the last 5 years.  Application: please send your application before
July 5th, 2019 to Prof.  Carlile Lavor ([log in to unmask]),
