Subject: Who Invented Euler's Method?

History question:

Why is Euler's method (for discretizing ode's) called Euler's
method? Did Euler invent it? If not he, then who? And who
is responsible for distinguishing between the explicit and
implicit versions as "forward" and "backward"?

Subject: Solution Method in Search of Problems

Consider the following mathematical problem: Given e>0 and complex constants
Cjk, j=2,3,...,N, k=1,2,...,j, find dj such that

|C21 + C22*exp(i*d2)| < e

|C31 + C32*exp(i*d2) + C33*exp(i*d3)| < e

.
.
.

|CN1 + CN2*exp(i*d2) + ... + CNN*exp(i*dN)| < e

This mathematical problem arises from the physical problem of trying to limit
the radial runout of combustion turbine rotors constructed of disks stacked
face-to-face. These disks have machining errors resulting in the faces being
non-parallel and not aligned. The variables dj are the angular orientations
of the disks.

I have developed a method of finding a solution to this problem by converting
the (N-1)-dimensional search problem into (N-1) sequential one-dimensional
search problems. For N=100 I find a solution in a few seconds on a PC.

Does anyone know of any other physical problems which are described
mathematically by the above set of inequalities?

Subject: Orthogonal Polynomial Archive

One can of course learn all one wants to know about the classic
orthogonal polynomials in a book such as Abramowitz and Stegun, but I am
curious if anyone has archived collections of "non-standard" orthogonal
polynomials anywhere.

Can anyone point me to a source? I'd hate to re-invent the wheel if
there is something out there I can use.

Subject: Coupled Eigenvalue Problem

Hi:

I have a coupled eigenvalue problem like

KX+P^T Y=\omega^2 MX,
PX-QY=0.

The coupling matrices P and Q have very small elements comparing with
the principal one, K. For the first part, KX-\omega^2MX=0, I can
solve it without any problem. To consider the coupling, I am trying
to form a general matrix problem like

GZ-\omega^2 LZ=0,

with

G=[K P^T] L=[M 0] Z=[X]
[P - Q], [0 0], [Y].

Apparent this does not work. In the past, people are using
pertubation method to get solutions.

Are there any techniques to solve the generalized problem rather
than going to using perturbation?

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Subject: Note from a Colleague in Azerbaijan

Dear colleagues,

I want to remind you of the economical situation in our Republic of
Azerbaijan, because of it we cannot receive scientific journals
and we are distracted from scientific world. Naturally scientific
Therefore I want to know, how can you help me? Maybe for finding
some funding to support my participate in conferences (I received
some invitation from the conferences. Problem is in financial difficulty)
or help me to fined some position for teaching at the Universities.
I send you some information about me.

We inverstigate nimerical solution of the initial value problem
for the ODE arbitrary orders. For this aim consider multistep
multiderivative methods (k-step Obrechkoff's methods) with
constant coefficients. We determined the maximal values of the
degree (maximal exactness of the considered methods) for the stable
explicit, implicit and forward-jumping methods. Also we inverstigated
l-stable methods. We suggested multistep multiderivative methods for
solving ODE arbitrary orders and show that it is effective.
Constructed A-stable method with the high degree ( degree p>2) by
the k-step method with the arbitrary coefficicnts and by the multistep
multiderivative forward-jumping methods. These results are developming
some G.Dahlquist and A.Iserles and S.P.Norsett's results. Now we
research to determine the sign of some coefficients in multi-step

Subject: New Code for Stiff and Differential-algebraic Equations

NEW CODE

This is to announce a new code mebdfdae.f for the solution of
stiff initial value problems and differential algebraic equations
in linearly implicit form. The underlying algorithm is
based on modified extended backward differentiation formulae.
These formulae have considerably better stability than BDF and
are A-Stable up to order 4 and A(alpha)-Stable up to order 9.
Results for mebdfdae.f on the stiff DETEST test set together with
the corresponding results for STRIDE, RADAU5, LSODE and DESI
(which may be used as comparisons) are available by anonymous ftp
and the web. Also available are results for most of the test
problems in the book of Hairer and Wanner. The main addition is that
results are also given for a set of DAEs of index 1-3 taken
from a variety of texts. These include pendulum problems, spring
problems and some of the challenging problems from the Amsterdam test
set.
