Hanson died at age 78 in Albuquerque, NM, on December 4, 2016, after battling brain cancer for a year and a half. He published numerous papers, including coauthoring the first BLAS paper, and published two SIAM books: "Solving Least Squares Problems" with Charles Lawson and "Numerical Computing with Modern Fortran" with Tim Hopkins. Richard served as Algorithms Editor for ACM TOMS for 8 years, a demanding job as I know from personal experience. He was a long time member of SIAM, ACM, and of the IFIP Working Group 2.5 on Numerical Software. We were good friends in College, and published a few joint papers. He was always there to listen to my strange ideas, and to offer good advice. I ended up at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory due to his encouragement and stayed for 30 years. Richard seemed to like variety, with jobs at: Univ. of Southern Calif., Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Wash. State Univ., Sandia Nat'l Labs, Applied Dynamics International, IMSL/Visual Numerics, The Center for High Performance Software Research at Rice Univ., and Visual Numerics/Rogue Wave. He was active with his mathematical activities up to the time the cancer hit. He leaves behind a wife, Karen Haskell, 3 sons, a daughter, 4 grandchildren, 2 brothers, a sister and all of their families, as well as numerous friends. And I miss him.

The competition is organized in the scope of the Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization (EMO'2017, http://www.emo2017.org/). 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 optimization competition in evolutionary computation domain, 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 three time so far, attracting about 100 unique submissions, including some state-of-the-art commercial solvers. 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 EMO'2017. Participants do not need to attend the conference or submit papers, they can even choose to be anonymous to the other participants. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Bruce Bailey [log in to unmask] Date: January 12, 2017 Subject: New Book, Data Assimilation: Methods, Algorithms, and Applications Data Assimilation: Methods, Algorithms, and Applications by Mark Asch, Marc Bocquet, Maelle Nodet, Fundamentals of Algorithms 11 xviii + 306 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-53-9 / List Price $84.00 / SIAM Member Price $58.80 / Order Code FA11 Data assimilation is an approach that combines observations and model output, with the objective of improving the latter. This book places data assimilation into the broader context of inverse problems and the theory, methods, and algorithms that are used for their solution. It provides a framework for, and insight into, the inverse problem nature of data assimilation, emphasizing "why" and not just "how." Methods and diagnostics are emphasized, enabling readers to readily apply them to their own field of study. Readers will find a comprehensive guide that is accessible to nonexperts; numerous examples and diverse applications from a broad range of domains, including geophysics and geophysical flows, environmental acoustics, medical imaging, mechanical and biomedical engineering, economics and finance, and traffic control and urban planning; and the latest methods for advanced data assimilation, combining variational and statistical approaches.

This project aims to develop novel preconditioned iterative methods for linear systems arising in the numerical approximation of partial differential equations via radial basis functions (RBFs). These RBF methods are well suited to problems with complex geometries and/or scattered data, such as those occurring in biological and geophysical applications. However, the linear system that must be solved as part of the RBF method becomes increasingly challenging to work with as the approximation is refined. This project will extend previous work on preconditioning RBF systems to provide more efficient and robust solvers for these problems. The studentship covers UK/EU tuition fees and comes with an annual tax-free stipend at the standard UK rate. International students who can fund the difference between UK/EU and International fee rates are also encouraged to apply. Applicants should have or expect to obtain a good (I or II(i)) honours degree in mathematics or in a related discipline. Experience of numerical mathematics and/or programming would be beneficial.

While, there is a tremendous lack of information in the current literature about what are the efficient and standard implementations of LBM on the current and upcoming parallel architectures, there is also a big difficulty to find books that cover the different extensions used on LBM-based solvers. These extensions are very well known by the community and are necessary and used for multiple applications. So, the motivation of this book is to cover such gap, giving to the community the necessary information to develop efficiently LBM solvers on different areas of interest and computational platforms. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Parallel Programming/Implementations of LBM; LBM on parallel architectures, multicore, hardware accelerators, distributed memory computers; Programming optimizations for LBM simulations; Numerical optimizations for LBM simulations; Numerical Analysis for LBM; CFD Applications using LBM; LBM models; Fluid-Solid Interaction on LBM; LBM extensions; LBM+Multiphysics; LBM+Mesh-Refinement; LBM+Free-Surface; LBM+Shallow-Waters. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February 17, 2017, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be notified by March 17, 2017 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by May 16, 2017, and all interested authors must consult the guidelines for manuscript submissions at http://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/before-you-write/ prior to submission. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Badih Ghusayni [log in to unmask] Date: January 12, 2017 Subject: Contents, Intl J Mathematics and Computer Science, 12 (1) ontents, Vol. 12, no. 1, International Journal of Mathematics and Computer Science: 1) Erkan Cimen, Yilmaz Ekinci, Numerical method for a neutral delay differential problem. 2) Loren Anderson, Matthew DeVilbiss, Sarah Holliday, Peter Johnson, Anna Kite, Ryan Matzke, Jessica McDonald, The Edge Grundy Numbers of Some Graphs. 3) John Blythe Dobson, A matrix variation on Ramus's identity for lacunary sums of binomial coefficients. 4) Abdullah Idris Enagi, Musa Bawa, Abdullah Muhammad Sani, Mathematical Study of Diabetes and its Complication Using the Homotopy Perturbation Method. 5) Philip Feinsilver, Sums of squares of Krawtchouk polynomials, Catalan numbers, and some algebras over the Boolean lattice. ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
