Hello NA Digest, I think I should know this, but I do not find it anywhere: who invented the bi-conjugate gradient method (BICG), and what was the first paper? ------------------------------------------------------- From: Fred J. Hickernell [log in to unmask] Date: December 17, 2014 Subject: Guaranteed Automatic Integration Library (GAIL) 2.0 Released We are happy to announce version 2.0 of our library of rigorously justified adaptive algorithms implemented for MATLAB. New to this release are - adaptive quasi-Monte Carlo cubature algorithms, - local adaption for univariate function approximation, - an algorithm to compute proportions by IID sampling, and - a more generalized hybrid absolute/relative error criterion for our simple Monte Carlo algorithms. GAIL 2.0 can be downloaded at https://code.google.com/p/gail/. We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions for improvement.

Bridging the gap between theory and practical applied material (for example, inverse and forward problems), it provides a simple explanation of finite volume discretization, basic concepts in solving inverse problems through optimization, a summary of applied electromagnetics methods, and MATLAB code for efficient computation. The book will appeal to students interested in computational science, data fitting, and applications to electromagnetics and to practitioners in the field.

With the BLAS, researchers spend less time mapping algorithms onto specific features of hardware platforms and more time on interesting new algorithms. Would it be practical to define an analogous set of basic building blocks for graph algorithms? Can we define a core set of mathematical primitives from which we can build most (if not all) important graph algorithms? If we can agree on the mathematical foundations, how would these interact with the data structures used in graph algorithms and result in an API the graph algorithms research community could support? These questions will be the topic for the second “Graph Algorithms Building Blocks” workshop. Our goal is an interactive workshop where the full range of issues behind “Graph Algorithms Building Blocks” will be explored. We want an interactive “workshop” so papers that report preliminary results and unproven but interesting ideas will be considered. Due dates: paper/panel submissions due 10 Jan 2015, author notification 14 Feb 2015, camera-ready due 28 Feb 2015.
