Van Zee [log in to unmask] Date: October 25, 2018 Subject: BLIS 0.5.0 now available We are pleased to announce BLIS 0.5.0. BLIS is a software framework for rapidly instantiating high- performance BLAS-like dense linear algebra operations. Aside from being a developer's tool, the framework also allows end-users to build libraries that implement a superset of the BLAS while also providing a BLAS compatibility API by default. BLIS is primarily developed and maintained within the Institute for Computational and Engineering Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. The marquee feature of BLIS 0.5.0 is support for mixed-domain/mixed- precision (or, more concisely, mixed-datatype) functionality in the general matrix multiplication (gemm) operation. BLIS now allows users to compute on matrices A, B, and C where each matrix may be stored in any of the four traditional floating-point datatypes: single- or double-precision real or complex. In addition, we allow the caller to specify a computation precision that is different from the storage precision of either A or B. This means that 128 datatype combinations are supported. The mixed-datatype implementation utilizes existing optimized microkernels, when available, and thus high performance is mostly preserved. (A modest slowdown is unavoidable in most cases due to additional typecasting instructions.) This new functionality does not require any additional workspace, though additional memory may optionally be used to speed up some cases. Lastly, interfacing to mixed-datatype gemm is easy thanks to BLIS's object API. For links to code, documentation, mailing lists, and other information, please visit the BLIS github website [1].

Lambers [log in to unmask] Date: October 24, 2018 Subject: New Book, Explorations in Numerical Analysis Explorations in Numerical Analysis, by James V. Lambers and Amber C. Sumner. World Scientific, Singapore, 2018. xvi+676 pp. ISBN: 978-981-3209-96-1 (hardcover), 978-981-3209-97-8 (paperback) This textbook introduces advanced undergraduate and early-career graduate students to the field of numerical analysis. This field pertains to the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms for the approximate solution of mathematical problems that arise in applications spanning science and engineering, and are not practical to solve using analytical techniques such as those taught in courses in calculus, linear algebra or differential equations. Topics covered include error analysis, computer arithmetic, the solution of systems of linear equations, least squares problems, eigenvalue problems, polynomial interpolation and approximation, numerical differentiation and integration, nonlinear equations, optimization, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations. For each problem considered, the presentation includes the derivation of solution techniques, analysis of their efficiency, accuracy, and robustness, and details of their implementation, illustrated through the MATLAB programming language. This text is suitable for a year-long sequence in numerical analysis, and can also be used for a one- semester course in numerical linear algebra. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kris ONeill [log in to unmask] Date: October 26, 2018 Subject: New Book, Frequency Domain Techniques for H-infinity Control FREQUENCY DOMAIN TECHNIQUES FOR H-INFINITY CONTROL OF DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER SYSTEMS BY HITAY OZBAY, SUAT GUMUSSOY, KENJI KASHIMA, AND YUTAKA YAMAMOTO This book presents new computational tools for the H-infinity control of distributed parameter systems in which transfer functions are considered as input-output descriptions for the plants to be controlled. The emphasis is on the computation of the controller parameters and reliable implementation. The authors present recent studies showing that the simplified skew Toeplitz method is applicable to a wide class of systems, supply detailed examples from systems with time delays and various engineering applications, and discuss reliable implementation of the controller, complemented by a software based on MATLAB. 2018 / vii + 192 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611975-39-0 / List $79.00 / SIAM Member $55.30 / Order Code: DC32 See more details here: http://bookstore.siam.org/dc32 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Bernard Beauzamy [log in to unmask] Date: October 22, 2018 Subject: New Book, Simple Random Walks I have now a preliminary version of a book "Simple Random Walks", available freely under pdf format from http://www.scmsa.eu/archives/BB_SRW.htm The aim of the work is to provide a new approach, energy based, to deep properties of random walks. So far, the book is divided into 5 parts, which can be downloaded separately. I am looking for comments and criticisms which will help preparing the final version. Also, long term collaboration with institutions are sought on such topics. They have industrial applications, to failure tests and preventive maintenance. Finally, I am willing to give talks about the whole topic, if some institutions are interested.
