Hi, everybody

I am trying to fit a system of ordinary differential equations (kinetics model)
to experimental data to work out the best-fit parameter values. Levenberg-Marquardt method
might solve this problem. Does any one know where I can get the existing code in Fortran
for Levenberg-Marquardt method to be used in my case?

The one in Mumerical Recipes seems not suitable for my problem.

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone!

My name is Slimane TAHI. I'm a researcher at the university
of Algiers and I encouter hard difficulties,in Algeria, to get
documents on my research field (no reviews and journals in my University
library, no Current Contents or similar bulletin and no coupons
to get copies from European or American documents delivery
services...).

I Would constitute in my laboratory a bibliographical fund to
facilitate for searchers and graduate students the access to
knowledge in my field of interest: magnetic field in electrical
machines in general magnetic field calculation
using numerical methods in particular.

At the present time , my field of interest is reluctance machine
(High Speed Synchronous Machine, Switched Reluctance Machine ..)

To do this , I need a software package if possible with source code
suitable to electrical engineering (axisymmetric 2D problems for instance)
or any document you think valuable.

Please send your message at this email adress :
s_tahi@hotmail.com
or,

usthbits3@ist.cerist.dz

with my thanks

MINPACK contains implementations of this method.

However, for more complete information, I recommend
you go to:
http://gams.nist.gov/

Then choose "problem decision tree". You will find
MINPACK (among others) located under subclass K
(specifically, branch: K1b1a1).

Good luck,

By Adnan Trakic on Tuesday, September 22, 1998 - 12:55 pm:

Hello,

I am interested in getting the math library that we can
use in our C programs. For example, we would need functions
for calculating Fourier Transforms, random number generator,
statistics etc.

Is NetLib place where I could get different computational
routines as separate pieces or I can get the whole C library?

Are you aware of any commercial/non-commercial package that
would feet my needs?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Adnan

By J L Bolinger on Thursday, November 5, 1998 - 11:16 am:

Does anyone have:

1.) A C routine for doing a Bessel interpolation?

2.) An algorithm for working a Bessel function of the first kind backwards? That is given:

y = Jn(x), y and n known

what are the possible values of x? I have already determined that if you compare 2 different orders, such as J0(x) and J1(x) you will get a unique answer, but what is the easiest way to do this?

By Jonathan French on Monday, November 16, 1998 - 03:09 pm:

Hello,

I have a simple eigenvalue problem
[A-kI]x = 0
A is non-symmetric but invertible and block tri-diagonal.
k is a scalar, I is the identity matrix, and x is a vector.

I'd like to obtain the lower eigenvalues (lower 10%) of A, and I presume the Lanczos method would be most appropriate. A is large (size varies depending on the problem), so utilizing the tri-diagonal structure is important. Is there a Netlib routine to handle this problem? Do I need to do some kind of transform on A?

Thanks,
Jonathan French

By David Ebin on Thursday, December 10, 1998 - 10:44 am:

I am looking for software (preferably in C) which
computes the error function erf(z) for z complex.

The definition is:

erf(z)= integral(exp(-w^2), w=0..z)

or in words: The integral from 0 to z of the exponential of -(w^2). This is a contour integral in the complex plane, but since the integrand is
a holomorphic function, the answer is independent of the path. A possible path is the line from 0 to z.

By Jack Smith on Thursday, February 4, 1999 - 09:36 am:

Hello,

I am trying to find some software that will solve a system of nonlinear, algebraic eq'ns with a major stipulation being that one of the variables must be an integer. The other(s) can be any real number. Does anyone know of any software with this option? It would be very helpful. Thank you very much. Feel free to e-mail me if you know.

--Jack


By Jack Smith on Thursday, February 4, 1999 - 03:08 pm:

Hi again,

As a follow up to my last post: I realize that holding one of the vars to being an integer would cause there to be, in most cases, no solution. So I guess what I really want to know is if anyone knows of any optimization software that won't solve the system per say, but find the best set of vars. Thanks a lot.

By Steve Ettorre on Friday, March 19, 1999 - 06:06 pm:

My question concerns the use of preconditioned conjugate gradient as a baseline smoother for an algebraic multigrid method (ILU0 preconditioning is used). During the prolongation pass of a V cycle implementation, the fine grid solution is constantly corrected as the method moves from the coarsest to finest grid. Are there any additional parameters that need to be updated in conjunction with the fine grid solution in order for ICCG to work properly? For example, do the search vectors need to modified?

Thanx,
Steve

By Niels Langager Ellegaard on Friday, June 11, 1999 - 11:18 am:

Hello. I have a dense symmetric 1500x1500 matrix, and I am looking for a library (FORTRAN or C++) that can help me solving the following problems:

Find determinant.
Find number of negative eigenvalues

If I find the matrix interesting it would be nice to be able to continue in the following way.

Find the 3 lowest eigenvalues.
or
Find the 3 lowest eigenvalues and eigenvectors

I have been pointed to Bunch Parlett decomposition (and Sylvesters theorem), but I am not sure if this is useful, because BPD only gives me the signs of the eigenvalues.

I have also been pointed to Arpack, but it seems that Arpack is best at sparse matrixes.

Thanks in advance for any help

Levenberg-Marquardt Method

I have used the Marquardt method to fit data to a function. The implementation is from Numerical Recipies in C. The problem is that I keep getting stuck in local minima.

I've tried the same method in mathcad, which works by adding small random amounts to the varables. This works, therefore I'm hoping that someone out there has a similar implementation (modifying the algorithm) that avoids these minima.

also which convergence criteria do people generally use?

Thanks for any help
Graeme

By Graeme McCaffery on Wednesday, July 28, 1999 - 09:29 am:

I've tried to use the numerical recipies routine to fit data to a nonlinear eqn of 2 variables but I've been informed that this algorithm is useless. Therefore I've decided to use minpack, as mathcad does, but I can't seem to figure out the arguments to various routines.
essentially I have
X - an array of x measured data points
Y - an array of y measured data points
nu, peakpos - first guess for variables of theoretical eqn fitting Y

I reckon I have to use either

hybrd1(fcn,n,x,fvec,tol,info,wa,lwa)
or
lmder(fcn,m,n,x,fvec,fjac,ldfjac,ftol,xtol,gtol,maxfev,diag,mode,factor,nprint,info,nfev,njev,ipvt,qtf,wa1,wa2,wa3,wa4)

the problem is that I can't figure out how to pass the routines the experimental data, get the value of chi_sqrd or figure out what most of the arguments mean.
The documentation is quite difficult to figure out, so I need an idiots guide

can someone please, please help
I've spent far far too long on this problem and it's driving me mad.

thanks
Graeme

Hi there,

I am trying to estimate the parameters of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (stiff problem, cell cycle model) by fitting experimental data. These parameters have some constraints. Hence, it should be a problem of nonlinear least square with nonlinear contraints. Does anyone can give me a guide which existing codes are can be used to solve this problem?

Thank you very much in advance. Look forward to getting some suggestions from you soon.
