In system theory and control engineering the system Gramian matrices of linear input-output systems have wide-spread use, for example: model reduction, decentralized control, optimal placement or sensitivity analysis. Empirical Gramian matrices correspond to the linear system Gramians, but extend to parametric and nonlinear systems due to their data-driven computation. The empirical Gramian framework is an open-source Matlab toolbox, compatible with Octave and MATLAB, which enables the computation of the following empirical system Gramians: - Empirical controllability Gramian - Empirical observability Gramian - Empirical cross Gramian - Empirical linear cross Gramian (fast variant for linear systems) - Empirical sensitivity Gramian (controllability of state and parameters) - Empirical identifiability Gramian (observability of state and parameters) - Empirical joint Gramian (observability of parameters and minimality of state) For more information see: http://gramian.de ------------------------------------------------------- From: Bruce Bailey [log in to unmask] Date: January 13, 2018 Subject: New Book, Computing Highly Oscillatory Integrals Computing Highly Oscillatory Integrals Alfredo Deano, Daan Huybrechs, and Arieh Iserles x + 180 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611975-11-6 / List Price $79.00 / SIAM Member Price $55.30 / Order Code OT155 Highly oscillatory phenomena range across numerous areas in science and engineering and their computation represents a difficult challenge. A case in point is integrals of rapidly oscillating functions in one or more variables. The quadrature of such integrals has been historically considered very demanding. Research in the past 15 years (in which the authors played a major role) resulted in a range of very effective and affordable algorithms for highly oscillatory quadrature. This is the only monograph bringing together the new body of ideas in this area in its entirety. The text is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as applied mathematicians, scientists, and engineers who encounter highly oscillatory integrals as a critical difficulty in their computations.

Driscoll and Richard J. Braun xxx + 553 pages / Hardcover / ISBN 978-1-611975-07-9 / List Price $104.00 / SIAM Member Price $72.80 / OT154 This is an advanced undergraduate-level introduction to the mathematics and use of algorithms for the fundamental problems of numerical computation: linear algebra, finding roots, approximating data and functions, and solving differential equations. The book is organized with simpler methods in the first half and more advanced methods in the second half, allowing use for either a single course or a sequence of two courses. The authors take readers from basic to advanced methods, illustrating them with over 200 self-contained MATLAB functions and examples designed for those with no prior MATLAB experience. Although the text provides many examples, exercises, and illustrations, the aim of the authors is not to provide a cookbook per se, but rather an exploration of the principles of cooking. Professors Driscoll and Braun have developed an online resource that includes well-tested materials related to every chapter. Among these materials are lecture-related slides and videos, ideas for student projects, laboratory exercises, computational examples and scripts, and all the functions presented in the book.
