Subject: CADNA, A Tool for Round-off Error Analysis

CADNA version 1.0
Announcement

CADNA (Control of Accuracy and Debugging for Numerical Applications) is
a library for FORTRAN 77 codes which is able, during the run of a code, to :
- estimate the round-off error propagation,
- detect the numerical instabilities,
- check the branching,
- provide the accuracy of any intermediate or final result.

This library is based on the CESTAC ( Controle et Estimation STochastique
des Arrondis de Calculs) which is a probabilistic approach for estimating
round-off error propagation. The CADNA library defines new numerical types :
stochastic types (single, double or complex). All their arithmetic operators,
order relations, intrinsic or mathematical functions, have been overloaded.
Consequently, the use of the CADNA library is very easy and only requires
changing very few statements in FORTRAN source codes such as printing
statements.

It is also possible with the CADNA library to take into account the physical
data error in the estimation of the accuracy of the results.

Furthermore, since CADNA carries out new concepts such as the stochastic
zero, the user may :
- in iterations methods, use new termination criteria, which allow optimization
of the number of iterations
- in approximation methods such as finite-difference methods, determine optimal
meshes.

In short, the CADNA library is a powerful tool that helps to achieve
validaty and safety in scientific computations.

Subject: Symposium in China on Intertial Manifolds

First announcement and call for papers

SYMPOSIUM
ON INERTIAL MANIFOLDS, APPROXIMATE INERTIAL MANIFOLDS
AND RELATED NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS

JUNE 6-10, 1995
Xi'an, CHINA

The Symposium on Inertial Manifolds, Approximate Inertial Manifolds
and Related Numerical Algorithms is scheduled to take place at the
Research Center for Applied Mathematics of Xi'an Jiaotong University
during the period of June 6-10, 1995.

In recent years, the concept of Inertial Manifold, which is a smooth
finite dimensional invariant manifold attracting exponentially all
orbits, has emerged as an important tool for the study of the long
term behavior of dynamical systems. In parallel to the study of
Inertial Manifolds, extensive research has also been conducted on
Approximate Inertial Manifolds and related numerical algorithms,
namely the Nonlinear Galerkin Method and the Incremental Unknown
Method. These multiresolution algorithms, taking into account the
interaction law between the large scale and small scale components of
the underlying flow, are especially attractive for long-term
integrations of dissipative evolution equations. The aim of this
symposium is to bring together active researchers with different
backgrounds to discuss recent and prospective advances in this area.

CONFERENCE THEMES:

The themes of the Symposium will range from basic theoretical research to
scientific applications, including:

Theory of inertial manifolds and approximate inertial manifolds

Numerical Analysis of the Nonlinear Galerkin method and of the
Incremental unknown method

Implementation of the Nonlinear Galerkin method and the Incremental
unknown method

Implementation on parallel computers, Domain decomposition

Applications to meteorology, Slow manifolds
