Babuska Prize for the best work in computer science submitted by students and young scientists. The Prize winner for 1995 is Dr Petr Kocandrle from the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. The work honored was his PhD thesis Shape optimization of plane elastic bodies. Further winners on the second, third, and fourth places who were delivered diplomas of honor were: Dr Maria Lukacova (at present at the Technische Universitaet Magdeburg in Germany) with her PhD thesis Numerical solution of compressible flow defended at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague, Dr Hanus Krejci from the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences in Prague with his PhD thesis A face finite element with four rotational degrees of freedom, and Dr Michal Polak from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague with his PhD thesis The model and solution of dynamic system of a bridge construction and a vehicle. The fifth and sixth positions were taken by Artur Linhart from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague with his diploma work Numerical solution of convection-diffusion processes and Milan Zajicek, a student of the Faculty of Machine Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, with his research work Resistance heating of laminar fluid flow. The prize as well as the diplomas will be awarded every year and they are connected with a financial support. The prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech mathematician Ivo Babuska. He was born in Prague in 1926 and after graduating from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague he started his work in the Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences. He was appointed professor at the Charles University in Prague in 1968 and since fall 1968 he has been working in the United States. Now he works at the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics, University of Texas, Austin, TX. His scientific work is focused on numerical and applied mathematics and computational mechanics, and their use in practice. His results in the finite element method belong to the fundamentals of the method. He is the author of several monographs and has initiated several famous scientific meetings both in Europe and the United States. He established the journal Applications of Mathematics (formerly Aplikace matematiky) in 1956. Last year he was awarded the John von Neumann Medal by the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics. The world mathematical community will remember the 70th birthdays of Prof. Ivo Babuska, Prof. Miroslav Fiedler, Prof. Jaroslav Kurzweil, and Prof. Vlastimil Ptak at the Prague Mathematical Conference in Prague in July 1996.

Williams Date: Sun, 31 Dec 1995 13:00:48 -0500 Subject: Need Kolmogorov-Smirnov Approximation I am seeking a reasonably accurate (4-6 decimals) and fast approximation to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov probability distribution function. I have a function written in C of the exact (explicit) expression due the Birnbaum and Tingey [1]. For large N, it is too slow, "large" being greater than 100. Further, the asymptotic expressions due to Smirnov [2] and Darling [3] do not provide the accuracy. I have also tried an expression attributed by Dudewicz and Ralley [4] to W. Feller [5] which I found to be unstable. Any further leads would be appreciated. K.B. Williams Kbwms@aol.com 802 South Ridge Drive Stillwater, OK 74074 (405) 372-7176 1. Z. W. Birnbaum and Fred H.

Baker Kearfott, University of Southwestern Louisiana, Lafayette, USA, Vladik Kreinovich, University of Texas at El Paso, USA (published in the Applied Optimization series, Volume 3) "Applications of Interval Computations" contains primarily survey articles of actual industrial applications of numerical analysis with automatic result verification and of interval representation of data. Underlying topics include: * branch and bound algorithms for global optimization, * constraint propagation, * solution sets of linear systems, * hardware and software systems for interval computations, and * fuzzy logic. Actual applications described in the book include: * economic input-output models, * quality control in manufacturing design, * a computer-assisted proof in quantum mechanics, * medical expert systems, * and others. A realistic view of interval computations is taken: the articles indicate when and how overestimation and other challenges can be overcome. An introductory chapter explains the content of the papers in terminology accessible to mathematically literate graduate students. The style of the individual, refereed contributions has been made uniform and understandable, and there is an extensive book-wide index. Audience: Valuable to students and researchers interested in automatic result verification. Detailed information, including contents, contributors, and an order form can be found: * on Kluwer homepage http://www.wkap.nl, or * on the Interval Computations homepage http://cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/main.html, in the "Books" section The information on the Interval Computations homepage is basically a mirror image of the Kluwer one (the only difference is that the fonts are fancier). ------------------------------ From: Steve McCormick Date: Wed, 3 Jan 1996 12:39:22 -0700 (MST) Subject: New Book on Optimization in Elliptic Problems OPTIMIZATION IN SOLVING ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS by Eugene G.
