Read more about Lek-Heng Lim's work at: http://www.ub.edu/focm2017/smaleprize.html The award will be made at the next Conference on the Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM 2017) at Barcelona, July 10th - 19th, 2017, see http://www.ub.edu/focm2017/ ------------------------------------------------------- From: Robert van de Geijn [log in to unmask] Date: April 07, 2017 Subject: MOOC on Programming for Correctness "Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!" -- Edsger Dijkstra On April 11, 2017, LAFF-On Programming for Correctness launches on the edX platform: https://www.edx.org/course/laff-programming-correctness-utaustinx-ut-p4c-14-01x. This course builds upon the "FLAME" project that also yielded PLAPACK, the libflame library, the SuperMatrix runtime system, and the BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software (BLIS). It inspired the Elemental library for distributed memory architectures. The course exposes some of the "secret sauce" that has allowed us to rapidly develop portable high- performance libraries with a high degree of confidence . A short video that launches Week 0 is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P2Yx8TPKiDY. Participants will learn not only how to prove programs correct, but also how to apply the goal-oriented programming techniques (advocated by Dijkstra and others) to many dense matrix computations that are supported by libraries like BLAS, LAPACK, BLIS, libflame, and Elemental. Importantly, the methodology yields families of algorithms so that the most appropriate one for a given architecture can be chosen. But what about round-off error? How does this apply to sparse matrix computations? Enrichments in the final week point to papers on how to similarly derive backward error analyses and Krylov subspace methods. We have tried to make the course interesting to novice and expert alike. We gratefully acknowledge support from MathWorks, the National Science Foundation, and The University of Texas at Austin. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Heath [log in to unmask] Date: April 09, 2017 Subject: Interactive Educational Modules in Scientific Computing A stand-alone executable version of the Interactive Educational Modules in Scientific Computing is now available for downloading from http://heath.cs.illinois.edu/iem/. These interactive educational modules assist students in learning basic concepts and algorithms of scientific computing. The modules were previously available only as Java applets accessed through a web browser, but the increasing deprecation of Java by most modern web browsers often makes such access problematic. Consequently, the modules have been adapted to run stand-alone as an executable Java application, and can be run on any computer having appropriate support for Java applications. The modules were designed to accompany the textbook Scientific Computing, An Introductory Survey, 2nd edition, by Michael T. Heath, published by McGraw-Hill (http://heath.cs.illinois.edu/scicomp/), but they can also be used in conjunction with or independent of any textbook.

In practical situations, the size or density of those systems can preclude a factorization approach, leaving only iterative methods as the solution technique. Known iterative methods, however, are not specifically designed to take advantage of the quasi- definite structure. This book discusses the connection between quasi-definite systems and linear least-squares problems, the most common and best understood problems in applied mathematics, and explains how quasi- definite systems can be solved using tailored iterative methods for linear least squares (with half as much work!). To encourage researchers and students to use the software, it is provided in MATLAB, Python, and Julia.

In the last decade or so, many concepts and results in matrix theory---some of which are nontrivial---have been extended to tensors and have a wide range of applications (for example, spectral hypergraph theory, higher order Markov chains, polynomial optimization, magnetic resonance imaging, automatic control, and quantum entanglement problems). The authors provide a comprehensive discussion of this new theory of tensors. Tensor Analysis: Spectral Theory and Special Tensors is unique in that it is the first book on these three subject areas: spectral theory of tensors; the theory of special tensors, including nonnegative tensors, positive semidefinite tensors, completely positive tensors, and copositive tensors; and the spectral hypergraph theory via tensors. Contents: List of Figures; List of Algrithms; Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Eigenvalues of Tensors; Chapter 3: Nonnegative Tensors; Chapter 4: Spectral Hypergraph Theory via Tensors; Chapter 5: Positive Semidefinite Tensors; Chapter 6: Completely Positive Tensors and Copositive Tensors; Bibliography; Index.

It will be located in Paris (Jussieu) from 3d July to 7th July. The two main courses will be given by Anne Auger / Dime Brockoff (INRIA Saclay) and Julien Bect / Emmanuel Vazquez (CentraleSupelec). The detailed program and information to register are here : http://www-hpc.cea.fr/SummerSchools/SummerSchools2017-NASS.htm When dealing with complex and cpu-time expensive computer codes, engineers and researchers have to adopt smart strategies in order to improve the robustness and the precision of their study results. Indeed, several uncertainties affect their physical and numerical models, the required solving algorithms and the various model input data and parameters. The topic of dealing with uncertainty in numerical simulation is very broad. In 2005, a CEA-EDF-INRIA summer school has covered the basics of uncertainty propagation and sensitivity analysis with deterministic and stochastic approaches. In 2011, another CEA-EDF-INRIA summer school has explained several mathematical concepts of VV&UQ (validation, verification and uncertainty quantification), by using in particular Bayesian techniques. The present proposition aims to cover techniques devoted to optimization goals, by taking into account the remaining uncertainties. Indeed, one of the main difficulties stands on cpu-time expensive numerical models subject to environmental uncertainties. Concepts of robustness and goal-oriented adaptive algorithms have therefore to be developed. Among the applications, we find the design of nuclear reactor, automotive, airplane, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jie Shen [log in to unmask] Date: April 03, 2017 Subject: Numerical PDEs, in Memory of Jim Douglas Jr., USA, Jul 2017 An International Conference on Current Trends and Challenges in Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations will be held at Purdue University during July 7-8, 2017.
