Based on a Davidson/Jacobi-Davidson iteration it can transform to most known, and even yet undiscovered, preconditioned eigensolvers. At the same time, it provides a simple but powerful user-interface. Over the last decade, PRIMME has been used by many users and is recognized as one of the most robust and efficient eigenvalue packages. The new version brings several important improvements. - MATLAB interface (mex) to full PRIMME functionality - C99 compliance and 64-bit support - Bug fixes that improve robustness and efficiency - More robust support for parallel computers - Fixed issues with F77 interface - Significantly improved multi-platform support, makefiles, and example drivers including PETSc, F77, MPI. - Improved documentation For questions, bugs, reports please email: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------- From: Paulo B. Vasconcelos [log in to unmask] Date: September 14, 2015 Subject: New Book, Computational Economics: A Concise Introduction New Book: “Computational Economics: a concise introduction” by Oscar Afonso and Paulo B. Vasconcelos https://www.routledge.com/products/9781138859661 This textbook blends economics with the numerical techniques required for the solution of problems, providing explained codes. It is precise and concise, meaning that it balances theory and practice. The book provides and explains, with detail, the MATLAB/Octave implementation of the algorithms. The intuition and central ideas of the numerical methods required to deal with the mathematical theory underlying the economic problem are pedagogically provided. The topics covered also prepare the reader to undertake more complex models and/or to develop new research. They give economic readers the skills needed to understand the essentials about numerical methods to solve economic problems and provide more technical readers with an easy way to cope with economics through modelling and simulation. This book is ideal for all students of economics, mathematics, computer science and engineering taking classes on Computational or Numerical Economics. Complementary material and related MATLAB/Octave software can be retrieved at the book homepage. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Silvana Ilie [log in to unmask] Date: September 16, 2015 Subject: East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD), Canada, Oct 2015 ECCAD 2015 to be held at the Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada, Saturday October 3, 2015, http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/15-16/ECCAD/index.html The East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD) is a one-day meeting for those interested in computer algebra and symbolic mathematical computation.

Examples from gene regulation, molecular signalling, cell division and molecular transport, as recently revealed by live cell images, have shown that many processes in cells and in molecular biology are inherently driven by stochastic events. One of the biggest challenges we propose to address in this programme is to develop methods and analysis, as well as efficient algorithms for simulations, to bridge the range of different biological scales. In support of this goal, the programme will focus on - Analysis of stochastic dynamical systems and applications in molecular and cellular biology. - Development of efficient computational methods for simulating stochastic equations over various scales. - Identifying new research areas. The aim of this opening workshop is to introduce participants to the different subject areas of the programme. In particular, this workshop will include a number of mini-courses aimed at senior graduate and postgraduate students, together with high level overview talks, given by world experts, which will highlight some of the major open problems in the field. Limited funding is available to partially cover the costs of junior participants from the U.S. and the U.K. Please see the workshop website for details. The following introductory mini-courses are planned: - Stochastic Simulation of Models Arising in the Life Sciences I (non-spatial models). David Anderson (University of Wisconsin) - Stochastic Simulation of Models Arising in the Life Sciences II (spatial models). Samuel Isaacson (Boston University) - Narrow escape theory, first passage time to a small hole and applications to modelling cell biology processes.
