Subject: BBComp: Black-Box Optimization Competition, Call for participation
The Black Box Optimization Competition (BBComp) is the first
competition platform in the continuous domain where test problems are
truly black boxes to participants. The only information known to the
optimizer and participant is the dimension of the problem, bounds on
all variables, and a budget of black box queries.
The competition is also the first web/online black-box optimization
competition, it aims at attacking a growing impact of over-fitting of
optimization algorithms to a narrow set of existing benchmark
problems. The competition was run twice last year, attracting 25+28
participants, including some state-of-the-art commercial solvers. This
year the competition is extended to the area of multi-objective
optimization.
All the material including the source code in C/C++, MATLAB, Python
and Java is available at http://bbcomp.ini.rub.de . The results of the
competition will be announced during the GECCO'2016 on July 20-24,
Denver, USA. Participants do not need to attend the conference or
submit papers, they can choose to be anonymous to the other
participants.
The final submission deadline is July 15.

Subject: KaHiP v1.0 -- Karlsruhe High Quality Graph Partitioning
Release of KaHiP v1.00
We are proud to announce the release of a major update of our graph
partitioning framework KaHiP (Karlsruhe High Quality Graph
Partitioning). KaHiP is a family of high quality graph partitioning
programs. It contains various graph partitioning algorithms that can
be configured to either achieve the best known partitions for many
standard benchmark instances or to be a good tradeoff between
partition quality and running time. Since our first major release we
added:
- advanced multilevel node separator algorithms based on max-flow
min-cut computations
- better support for social networks and web graphs by using
clustering-based contractions
- size-constraint label propagation
- a java interface as well as some bug fixes
The software is released under the GPL 2.0 License.
Open source implementation / website: http://algo2.iti.kit.edu/kahip
Github: https://github.com/schulzchristian/KaHIP
We are glad for any comments and error reports (or even bug fixes)
that you send us.

Subject: New Book, A Concise Introduction to Geometric Numerical Integration
A Concise Introduction to Geometric Numerical Integration, by Sergio
Blanes and Fernando Casas
218 pages / Hardcover /ISBN 9781482263428, Chapman and Hall/CRC /
List Price 71.20GBP
This book presents the main themes, techniques, and applications of
geometric integrators for researchers in mathematics, physics,
astronomy, and chemistry who are already familiar with numerical tools
for solving differential equations. It also offers a bridge from
traditional training in the numerical analysis of differential
equations to understanding recent, advanced research literature on
numerical geometric integration.
The motivation of geometric numerical integration is not only to
develop numerical methods with improved qualitative behavior but also
to provide more accurate long-time integration results than those
obtained by general-purpose algorithms. Accessible to researchers and
post-graduate students from diverse backgrounds, this introductory
book gets readers up to speed on the ideas, methods, and applications
of this field. Readers can reproduce the figures and results given in
the text using the MATLAB programs and model files available online.

Subject: New Book, Automatic Differentiation in MATLAB Using ADMAT
Automatic Differentiation in MATLAB Using ADMAT with Applications by
Thomas F. Coleman and Wei Xu
xii + 105 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-35-5 / List Price
$59.00 / SIAM Member Price $41.30 / Order Code SE27
The calculation of partial derivatives is a fundamental need in
scientific computing. Automatic differentiation (AD) can be applied
straightforwardly to obtain all necessary partial derivatives (usually
first and, possibly, second derivatives) regardless of a code's
complexity. However, the space and time efficiency of AD can be
dramatically improved - sometimes transforming a problem from
intractable to highly feasible - if inherent problem structure is used
to apply AD in a judicious manner.
Automatic Differentiation in MATLAB using ADMAT with Applications
discusses the efficient use of AD to solve real problems, especially
multidimensional zero-finding and optimization, in the MATLAB
environment. This book is concerned with the determination of the
first and second derivatives in the context of solving scientific
computing problems with an emphasis on optimization and solutions to
nonlinear systems. The authors focus on the application rather than
the implementation of AD and solve real nonlinear problems with high
performance by exploiting the problem structure in the application of
AD.

Subject: High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA 2017), Australia, Feb 2017
The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation will be held at
UNSW in Sydney, Australia, on February 13-17, 2017. See the website
http://www.hda2017.unsw.edu.au
The High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA) Workshop is a series of
biennial international meetings covering current research on all
numerical aspects of high-dimensional problems. This seventh workshop
will be held at UNSW in Sydney (HDA2017), with participants again
welcomed from all around the world.
The scope of the seventh workshop ranges from high-dimensional
approximation theory over computational methods to engineering and
scientific applications. Topics include, but are not limited to,
Sparse grid methods; Quasi-Monte Carlo methods; Tensor decompositions;
Polynomial chaos expansions; Sparse approximations; Reduced basis
methods; Multi-level methods; Bayesian inversion; and Uncertainty
quantification. Participation is open to all interested in
high-dimensional computational mathematics and science. A key feature
of this workshop is that there are no parallel sessions and generally
all talks will be of equal length. Participants are welcome to
present work in progress and there will be time set aside for informal
discussions. The number of talks will be limited. It is not essential
that everyone gives a talk. Collaborators are encouraged to
coordinate and elect a representative to present joint work.
In this workshop we will honour and celebrate the 65th birthday of
Professor Markus Hegland. Markus is a founding member of the HDA
workshop series. He is also a well respected leader in computational
mathematics and optimization in Australia. We hope to take this
opportunity to engage the HDA global community with other
computational mathematics groups in Australia. To assist us with
planning, please go to the website at your earliest convenience to
register especially if you are interested in giving a talk. Travel,
visa and accommodation information is already available. More
information about registration fee payment and abstract submission

Subject: PhD Position, Fully automated controller synthesis for UAV missions
Abstraction-based controller synthesis is a relatively recent approach
whose key advantage over classical synthesis methods is that it
permits to solve control problems for nonlinear continuous-state
plants described by ordinary differential equations in a fully
automated, correct-by-construction fashion, even for rather complex
control objectives and in the presence of uncertainties and
disturbances. The approach relies on finite-state approximations
("abstractions") of continuous-state plants described by ordinary
differential equations. These abstractions are used as substitutes of
the original plants in the synthesis process, to reduce the synthesis
problem to the solution of an auxiliary, purely discrete synthesis
problem. The stipendiary is expected to advance both theory and
computational methods to facilitate the practical applicability of the
approach to the synthesis of controllers enforcing temporal logic
specifications on UAVs. The focus is on synthesis algorithms that are
both efficient and formally correct, and on the reduction of the
complexity of the resulting controllers. The project involves
theoretical work, algorithm and software development, and, on a small
scale, experimental work.
The monthly scholarship is 1575 Euros (tax-free) and is generally
awarded for a three-year period. The stipendiary is entitled to
participate in training and courses at the Graduate School at
Technical University Munich, or through the Graduate Program at the
National Aeronautics and Space Research Center (DLR). Additional
funding for technical equipment, conferences or publications as well
as for rent and public transport can be granted in the amount of 6100
Euros per year. No teaching duties; stipendiary is expected to do
research full time.
