Rump [log in to unmask] Date: May 15, 2014 Subject: INTLAB Version 8 The new Version 8 of INTLAB, the Matlab toolbox for reliable computing, is available. The main progress are two new toolboxes: affari affine arithmetic toolbox gradients using affine quantities Hessians using affine quantities Taylor models using affine quantities fl k-bit IEEE 754 floating-point and interval arithmetic. All quantities are, of course, supported for scalars, vectors and matrices. Timing of many routines improved significantly compared to Version 7.1.

The project, which is funded by the Norwegian Research Council is a collaboration between NTNU, University of Bergen, and certain universities in Spain, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The successful candidate will be offered a three-year position. The research project is about fundamental properties of numerical methods for solving differential equations and contains a variety of tasks that can be addressed by the PhD fellow hired in this position. It includes the study of geometric properties of numerical methods which are tailored for certain important classes of problems, such as Hamiltonian systems, volume preserving systems, or integrable systems. It may involve analysis of numerical schemes, design of new and better solution methods, and an important part of the project is to develop symbolic and numerical software. The applicants are required to have an MSc-degree in mathematical sciences or physics. Candidates completing their MSc-degree in the Spring semester 2014 are encouraged to apply. ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
