Subject: IMPORT ANNOUCEMENT: Changes to NA-Digest Submission Procedure

This message is to alert NA-DIGEST contributors to some changes to the
software that will be implemented in the next few days.

Due to the large amount of spam that is now being sent to the
na.digest@na-net.ornl.gov address, the na-digest software will soon
require a confirmation from the sender of the message before that
message will be considered for inclusion in the digest. This is
intended to make life easier for the digest editor.

Once the changes are made, here's how things will work:

1. If you want to submit a contribution to the digest, you mail it to
na.digest@na-net.ornl.gov
(i.e. the same address we've been using for years)

2. If your mail appears valid, the na-digest mail server will then
send a message to you asking for confirmation. The message
you sent will be included as an attachment.

3. To confirm that you actually did send the contribution to the
digest, click on (or otherwise visit) the URL included in the
confirmation request.

On the other hand, if the message does not contain any plain text,
or does not contain a valid From address and a Subject, the server will
respond with a message explaining that your contribution cannot be
accepted until you fix these problems and resubmit your message.

If your message contains content other than plain text (for instance
HTML, PDF, or MS-Word), it will have been discarded by
the server, and the request for confirmation will warn you that
important content of the message may have been removed (since the
digest only supports plain text). You should review the copy that is
returned to you to make sure that it contains all necessary
information, before confirming the message.

Messages will be held for up to 10 days awaiting confirmation.

Subject: Law & Linear Algebra

Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to the following article in the August
27, 2005 issue of "The Economist". It described, among other things, an
interesting application of linear algebra to the identification of
important American jurisprudence.

http://sccm.stanford.edu/~golub/economist/

I am appending an excerpt from the article. The full article is available
from the above URL.

"Dr Fowler's network treated links between nodes as directional arrows
rather than simple lines. He did this by separating opinions into two
types: authorities, which are cited by many other cases; and hubs, which
cite many other opinions. Using linear algebra to calculate all the cases'
authority and hub scores, Dr Fowler arrived at his list of most important
cases. He then charted which cases were the most salient at each point in
time."

Subject: New Book, Dimension Reduction of Large-Scale Systems

We would like to draw your attention to the publication of the new
book

Dimension Reduction of Large-Scale Systems

edited by: Peter Benner
Volker Mehrmann
Danny C. Sorensen,
Springer-Verlag, Berlin/Heidelberg 1005.
Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering,
Vol. 45, 400 p., Softcover
ISBN: 3-540-24545-6

About this book:

In the past decades, model reduction has become an ubiquitous tool in
analysis and simulation of dynamical systems, control design, circuit
simulation, structural dynamics, CFD, and many other disciplines
dealing with complex physical models. The aim of this book is to
survey some of the most successful model reduction methods in tutorial
style articles and to present benchmark problems from several
application areas for testing and comparing existing and new
algorithms. As the discussed methods have often been developed
simultaneously in disconnected application areas, the intention of the
mini-workshop in Oberwolfach and its proceedings is to make these
ideas available to researchers and practitioners from all these
different disciplines.

Further information is available at

http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~mehrmann/Buecher/Reduction/

In the future, this web page will also include some Matlab codes
corresponding to some of the algorithms presented in the book.

Subject: CHOLMOD, A Sparse Cholesky Factorization

I would like to announce the beta release of CHOLMOD,
a set of routines for factorizing sparse symmetric positive definite
matrices of the form A or AA', updating/downdating a sparse Cholesky
factorization, solving linear systems, updating/downdating the solution
to the triangular system Lx=b, and many other sparse matrix functions
for both symmetric and unsymmetric matrices. Its supernodal Cholesky
factorization relies on LAPACK and the Level-3 BLAS, and obtains a
substantial fraction of the peak performance of the BLAS. Both real and
complex matrices are supported. CHOLMOD is written in ANSI/ISO C, with
both C and MATLAB interfaces.

The update/downdate methods are based on the algorithms described in
"Row modifications of a sparse Cholesky factorization," with W. Hager.
SIAM J. Matrix Analysis and Applications, vol 26, no. 3 (2005), pp.
621-639, and related earlier papers. CHOLMOD adds new features
as well, including a faster supernodal update/downdate method.

CHOLMOD's Cholesky factorization obtains a peak performance of
3.6 Gflops on a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 and 6 Gflops on a 2.6 Ghz
dual-core AMD Opteron, using K. Goto's BLAS. CHOLMOD relies
on AMD (with P. Amestoy and I. Duff), COLAMD (with S. Larimore, J.
Gilbert, and E. Ng), CCOLAMD (a new constrained column min. degree
ordering based on COLAMD, with S. Rajamanikam), METIS (by G. Karypis),
LAPACK (by Anderson et al.), and the Level-3 BLAS (Dongarra et al.).
A MATLAB interface for METIS is included.

CHOLMOD will appear as backslash in a future release of MATLAB, for
sparse symmetric positive definite matrices.

See http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse for the code (version 0.6).
CHOLMOD is split into several modules; portions are GNU LGPL,
and others are GPL. Other licenses are available upon request.

Subject: Conference at Rice Honoring Douglas, Peaceman and Rachford

Conference Announcement

50 Years of Alternating Direction Methods:
Celebrating the Contributions of Jim Douglas,
Don Peaceman, and Henry Rachford

November 4-5, 2005
Rice University
Houston, Texas

This year (2005) marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the seminal
paper on the alternating direction implicit method (ADI) "The Numerical Solution
of Parabolic and Elliptic Differential Equations" (Journal of the Society for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Vol. 3, pages 28-41). The impact of this
work on the oil industry was immediate; this new idea resulted in the
development of more accurate and efficient computational methods for reservoir
simulation. However, the theoretical and practical aspects of the ADI method led
to extensions, generalizations, and ensuing applications far beyond the original
application of reservoir simulation.

This conference will begin with two talks on the history and impact of the
ADI method to past and current scientific and industrial problems. The
conference will then feature approximately 20 invited 30 minute presentations
on recent research activities in the area of numerical solution of partial
differential applications that were influenced by the ADI method. In addition,
an exciting banquet is planned for Saturday night (November 5, 2005).


Registration
All participants and attendees are required to register. However, due to
the generosity of the conference sponsors there will be no registration
fee and no banquet fee for those that pre-register. We urge conference
participants and attendees to pre-register as soon as possible. To
