Subject: 100th Anniversary of First Runge-Kutta Paper

CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF THE FIRST RUNGE-KUTTA PAPER

Many na-netters will be aware that the 100th anniversary of
the publication of Runge's paper, initiating the study and
practical use of Runge-Kutta methods, occurs in 1995. I
would like to know what celebrations have been planned to mark
this historic anniversary. Are there plans, for example, for
a centenary collection of papers in the general area of
Runge-Kutta methods? If there are, I would like to know how
I can submit a paper for this collection. If there are no
such plans, I would offer to organise such a collection myself.
In this case, I would appreciate any comments that interested
people have on such a proposal.

Subject: Flop Rates for BLAS

I am currently writing a book on Scientific Fortran and would like to
ask if anyone was any up-to-date comparative figures for flop rates for
level one, two and three BLAS on modern machines. To date, the only information
I have is rather out of date. I would be interested in workstations as
well as mainframes.

Also, if any one has a reference to 'Akkers' function (a recursive example
often used in Computer Science courses) or can remind me what it is, I would
also be most grateful.

Yours,

David Wille

Subject: CVODE Available from Netlib

CVODE available from Netlib

CVODE is an initial value ODE solver, written in C, based on the VODE
and VODPK (Fortran) solvers. It solves stiff and nonstiff systems,
and in the stiff case includes direct and iterative method options.
CVODE was written by Scott Cohen and Alan Hindmarsh at LLNL.

The CVODE package is now available from the Netlib collection, in the
library netlib/ode. The following instructions give you the CVODE
package, by way of a compressed tar file obtained with ftp.
ftp netlib2.cs.utk.edu
prompt for Name: anonymous
cd ode
get cvode.tar.Z
quit
uncompress < cvode.tar.Z | tar xf -
The final tar command creates, in the user directory where typed, a
directory called CVODE. A README file in the top level of the CVODE
directory gives further information and installation instructions. A
comprehensive user guide is provided as a Postcript file in CVODE/doc.

Subject: Orthogonal Polynomials

Scaling of orthogonal polynomials: reference wanted

When working with orthogonal polynomials on [-1,1], you land in
overflow/underflow problems. If the polynomials are monic, then the
norms
decrease as O(4^{-n}); if they are orthonormal, the leading coefficients
increase as O(4^n). I have seen a paper (in J. Approx. Theory or Lin.
Alg. Appl., I think) where the author remarks that all is well on [-2,2].
Can anyone direct me to the reference?

competitions are encouraged to enter.

The entries will be considered by an Adjudicating Committee: its
members are Prof. C.M. Elliott (Sussex, Chairman), Prof. C.T.H. Baker
(Manchester) and Prof. I.S. Duff (R.A.L.). Particular attention will
be given to the originality and quality of each paper, and to the
suitability of the material for a 40 minute talk to a general audience
of numerical analysts. Papers will be selected by the Committee for
presentation at the Leslie Fox Prize meeting. Only the papers that
are presented at the symposium will be eligible for awards but, subject
to this restriction, the Adjudicating Committee may award any number
of first and secondary prizes.

Entries should be received, by the Chairman, by February 3rd,
1995. Each candidate should include a statement of her/his year of
birth and should indicate that she/he would be available to present
her/his paper at the symposium. A joint paper may be submitted by an
individual candidate if accompanied by a statement from the co-authors
agreeing to the submission and detailing the contribution of the

Subject: Numerical Algorithms Journal

At the end of 1994, with its Volume 8, the journal

NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS

will complete its third year of publication. I believe that
it is important to make a summary of the results obtained
at this time.
The first 7 volumes represent a total of 197 papers and
3266 pages.
Most of the areas of numerical analysis have been covered:
linear algebra (39 papers), nonlinear equations (6),
splines (20), wavelets (4), interpolation and approximation
(68), extrapolation (17), optimization (10), ODEs (11),
PDEs (5), quadrature (5), miscellaneous (13).
The contents of most of these articles confirm that the aim
of creating a journal covering all the aspects of numerical
algorithms has been achieved.
Until now, 5 papers containing the related software
(which have been inserted into the library numeralgo of netlib),
have been published and I hope that this number will increase in
the next future.
The results obtained show that this journal fills up the gap
existing before its creation when papers dealing with numerical
algorithms were usually published in numerical analysis or applied
science journals and the importance to have it in your library.
In 1995, it is intended to publish 2 new volumes.
If you want to submit a paper to the journal you can send it
to any member of the board.
notice that the address of the publisher has been changed starting from
September 1, 1994. The new address is:

This is the fourth international conference on CFD
organised by the ICFD (Institute for Computational Fluid
Dynamics), a joint research organisation at the
Universities of Oxford and Reading set up in 1983 with
the support of the SERC to collaborate with industry in
this area. Previous conferences were held at the
University of Reading in 1985 and 1992 and at the
University of Oxford in 1988 in a series of conferences
on the same theme held on the two sites over the last
thirteen years.

The aim of the conference, as in previous years, is to
bring together mathematicians and engineers and other
scientists in the field of computational aerodynamics and
computational fluid dynamics to review recent advances in
mathematical and computational techniques for modelling
fluid flows.

The subject area is very large with many active
researchers in industry, government laboratories and
universities working on a wide variety of methods and
applications. The conference will cover all areas of CFD
but it is hoped to emphasise three main areas:

ALGORITHMS AND ALGORITHMIC NEEDS
ARISING FROM APPLICATIONS

NAVIER-STOKES ON FLEXIBLE GRIDS

ENVIRONMENTAL CFD

In addition to invited lectures the programme will
include contributed talks of twenty minutes and
poster sessions. These will be selected mainly on
the basis of their likely contribution to the above
themes.

Call for Papers

Two page abstracts for contributed papers should be
submitted by 9 December 1994 stating preference for oral
or poster presentation. Notification of acceptance will be
given by 31 January 1995. Papers accepted for oral
presentation will be required at the meeting for
