The main addition are verified ODE solvers for initial value problems. The ODE toolbox including a large (internal) test library was entirely written by Florian Buenger from my institute. It comprises of - The AWA toolbox implementing Lohner's algorithm, and - The Taylor model toolbox including improvements and corrections. Results computed by INTLAB are verified to be correct in a completely rigorous mathematical sense. That includes all possible computational inaccuracies, from the input to the output of data. In particular, input data, e.g. initial conditions, may be afflicted with tolerances. In that case error bounds for the solution of all problems for data within the tolerances are computed. Florian Buenger has gone to much trouble to diminish the interpretation overhead. As a result, his Matlab/INTLAB implementation of the Taylor model approach is sometimes faster than existing C and Fortran implementations. That could not be achieved for the AWA toolbox. Users may also enjoy the clearly readable code of the AWA and the Taylor model toolbox with many detailed explanations. To get familiar with the ODE and other INTLAB toolboxes and for some timings, see the demos at http://www.ti3.tuhh.de . INTLAB is entirely written in Matlab/Octave. It runs on the forthcoming Matlab 2018b and is downward compatible down to R2016b. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Shayne Waldron [log in to unmask] Date: September 06, 2018 Subject: New Book, An Introduction to Finite Tight Frames An introduction to finite tight frames. Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis. Birkhauser/Springer, New York, 2018. xx+587 pp. ISBN: 978-0-8176-4814-5; This book is an introduction to the theory and applications of finite tight frames (redundant orthonormal bases), an area that has developed rapidly in the last decade. Stimulating much of this growth are the applications of finite frames to diverse fields, such as signal processing, quantum information theory, multivariate orthogonal polynomials, and remote sensing. In addition to being a great reference for the basic theory, many areas of current research interest are presented. These include: the variational characterisation of tight frames and its relation to spherical designs, the algebraic variety of tight frames, the classification of tight frames up to unitary and projective unitary equivalence, group frames (including harmonic frames and various constructions of tight frames from nonabelian groups), sets of real and complex equiangular lines, mutually unbiased bases, Zauner's conjecture on SICs (including the Clifford and Galois actions, and a list of the known SICs), tight frames of orthogonal polynomials on a simplex, and continuous tight frames for finite dimensional spaces. The book is self contained, with solutions to all the exercises given. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Eun-Jae Park [log in to unmask] Date: September 09, 2018 Subject: Computational Mathematics, South Korea, Sep 2018 As a CSE conference series, the Department of Computational Science & Engineering is organizing the International Conference on Computational Mathematics - Advances in Computational PDEs during September 29 - October 2, 2018.
