The author presents significant concepts never before discussed as well as new advances in the theory, providing an in-depth initiation to the field of compressed sensing. The text contains substantial material on graph theory and the design of binary measurement matrices, is the only book to thoroughly study the problem of matrix recovery, and supplies relevant results alongside their proofs in a compact and streamlined presentation that is easy to navigate. 2019 / xii + 341 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611976-11-3 / List $89.00 / SIAM Member $62.30 / CS22 Book details: https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=31254937 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kris ONeill [log in to unmask] Date: December 04, 2019 Subject: New Book, Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice, Extended Edition This is a textbook on classical polynomial and rational approximation theory for the twenty-first century. Aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students across all of applied mathematics, it uses MATLAB to teach the field's most important ideas and results. It differs fundamentally from other works on the topic in that its emphasis is on topics close to numerical algorithms; concepts are illustrated with Chebfun; and each chapter is a PUBLISHable MATLAB M-file, available online. 2020 / xii + 363 pages / Hardcover / 978-1-611975-93-2 / List $64.00 / SIAM Member $44.80 / OT164 Book details: https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=31254869 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kendall atkinson [log in to unmask] Date: December 07, 2019 Subject: New Book, Spectral Methods Using Multivariate Polynomials on the Unit Ball Spectral Methods Using Multivariate Polynomials on the Unit Ball Kendall Atkinson, David Chien, Olaf Hansen Chapman & Hall/CRC Press, 2019 This book is a research level text on a numerical method for the solution of partial differential equations. The authors introduce, illustrate with examples, and analyze 'spectral methods' that are based on multivariate polynomial approximations. The method presented is an alternative to finite element and difference methods for regions that are diffeomorphic to the unit disk, in two dimensions, and the unit ball, in three dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Philip Gill [log in to unmask] Date: December 07, 2019 Subject: Optimization, Differential Equations, and Data Analysis, USA, Jan 2020 The Center for Computational Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), La Jolla, California will host a two-day Winter Workshop on Topics in Optimization, Differential Equations, and Data Analysis, Saturday January 18-Sunday January 19, 2020.

The success of modern codes for large-scale optimization is heavily dependent on the use of effective tools of numerical linear algebra. On the other hand, many problems in numerical linear algebra lead to linear, nonlinear or semidefinite optimization problems. The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from both communities and to find and communicate points and topics of common interest. This Conference has been organised in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). Conference topics include any subject that could be of interest to both communities, such as: Direct and iterative methods for large sparse linear systems. Eigenvalue computation and optimization. Large-scale nonlinear and semidefinite programming. Effect of round-off errors, stopping criteria, embedded iterative procedures. Optimization issues for matrix polynomials Fast matrix computations.

AWD_ID=1840260&HistoricalAwards=false Postdocs will work within one of three vertically-integrated research groups, each of which partners SMU mathematicians with scientists in other disciplines: Computation-enabled investigations into circuits and cognition (partnering with UT Southwestern Medical Center neuroscientists) Nonlinear dynamics and the modeling of large systems (partnering with DOE) Modeling complex transport processes in nanoscale manufacturing (partnering with SMU Engineering) Only US Citizens, nationals and permanent residents are eligible for these positions. Candidates with a background in computational and/or applied mathematics are encouraged to apply; candidates in pure mathematics with computational and modeling experience should also consider applying. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from women and underrepresented minorities. Applicants should write a short statement indicating the research group with which they wish to affiliate. In addition to research, postdoctoral scholars will do some teaching (1 or max. 2 courses per year) and assist in running a 2-week summer school for undergrad and graduate students. The appointments will be for 3 years and have a flexible start date. A link to submit your application in Mathjobs (www.mathjobs.org) will be available January 2, 2020.
