NA Digest readers might be interested to learn that MPI is not only
a system for parallel computing, it is also a language in SIAM (the
country, not the professional society).

Subject: Solving Large Eigenvalue Problem
Hi,
I'm looking for an efficient solver for the generalized eigenvalue
problem
H*x = lambda*B*x
with very large matrices H and B (n > 10000). Since the problem is
that large, standard packages like LAPACK aren't able to solve it.
Here H (Hamiltonian matrix, nxn, symmetric but not sparse) and B
(overlap-matrix, nxn, symmetric and sparse) are calculated by some
quantum and quasi-quantum chemical calculations. The elements of H
are sums of the kinetic and potential integrals using gaussian product
functions as basisfunctions. the integrals of the potential matrix
were calculated using standard potential functions, like the harmonic
oscillator potential function. this matrix is therefore not sparse.
The kinetic integrals were calculated by using the quantum chemical
kinetic operator.

Stimulated by recent developments in the field of mathematical modelling
and its increasing impact on scientific computation, Oxford University
Press has re-launched its classic monograph series in numerical analysis
which included Wilkinson's celebrated treatise "The Algebraic Eigenvalue
Problem". As the new name, Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computation,
already suggests, the series will now aim to cover the broad subject area
concerned with theoretical and computational aspects of modern numerical
mathematics.
What are the developments that have changed numerical analysis and which
will feature in the new series? Firstly, there is the increasing power
and availability of computer workstations and the widespread feasibility
of complex numerical computations; secondly, there are the expanding
demands of mathematical modelling; and thirdly, there is the growing
sophistication of the mathematical theory applied to the formulation and
the analysis of numerical methods, and the related fact that numerical
analysis now generates research into relatively abstract mathematics.
If you have an idea for a book in this new series, please write or e-mail
to any of the Editors or to the Publishers. Oxford University Press will
collaborate with authors to ensure that their proposals are evaluated very
quickly in constructive manner, produced to high standard, and promoted
and distributed worldwide.

Position at CWI Amsterdam/Utrecht University
Since 1993, the Department of Numerical Mathematics of the
Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) Amsterdam,
and the Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University are
cooperating in research of parallel numerical algorithms
for finding eigenvalues and -vectors of large sparse matrices
coming from plasma- and astrophysics.
In this project a position is vacant for a

work the researcher will get access to a parallel computer.
The project is intended to be concluded after four years with a
Doctoral Thesis and an Academic Promotion. It will be carried out
partly at CWI Amsterdam and partly at Utrecht University.
Candidates, not older than 26 years, have finished their Master's Degree
with specialization in numerical mathematics. Experience with parallel
numerical algorithms and implementation is an advantage.
Appointment will be in temporary service with NWO, the Netherlands
Organization of Scientific Research, for at most four years.
