Subject: New release of Getfem++

Getfem++ 2.0 is released.

The Getfem++ project focuses on the development of a generic and efficient C++
library for finite element methods elementary computations. The goal is to
provide a library allowing the computation of any elementary matrix (even for
mixed finite element methods) on the largest class of methods and elements,
and for arbitrary dimension (i.e. not only 2D and 3D problems).

A generic framework is proposed for assembly procedures making very easy to
write finite element discretization for arbitrary terms even for non-linear
partial differential equations.

A Matlab and Python interface is also provided.

This is a major update to getfem++, which make some backward-incompatible
changes. Major changes are :
- Full support of vectorial and hermite elements (RT0, nedelec elements,
Argyris triangle, HCT triangle and hermite elements in dimension 1, 2 and 3
are now available). A bilaplacian problem is provided as a test program.
- New tools to deal with Xfem or fictitious domain methods: Level-set,
integration methods adapted to discontinuity and singularities, discontinuous
fields across a level-set.
- A mature model-brick system: a fast way to build PDE problems approximation.
- Partial parallelization (work still in progress).
- Mesh refinement.

The package is freely available at the Web address :

Subject: SUNDIALS v2.2.0 released

SUNDIALS (Suite of nonlinear and differential/algebraic equation
solvers) consists of the following four solvers:

* CVODE solves initial value problems for ordinary differential equation
(ODE) systems.
* CVODES solves ODE systems and includes sensitivity analysis
capabilities (forward and adjoint).
* IDA solves initial value problems for differential-algebraic equation
(DAE) systems.
* KINSOL solves nonlinear algebraic systems.

The SUNDIALS solvers provide robust time integrators and nonlinear
solvers that can easily be incorporated into existing simulation codes.
The solvers are independent of the data representation and can be used
both on serial and parallel computers. All solvers can be built in
single, double, or extended precision. They are written in ANSI C, with
CVODE, IDA, and KINSOL also providing a Fortran to C interface. In
addition, sundialsTB provides a Matlab interface to CVODES and KINSOL.

We are pleased to announce the new release of SUNDIALS v2.2.0.

Subject: New book, Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics:A Dynamical Systems Approach
Wassim M. Haddad, Vijay Sekhar Chellaboina, and Sergey G. Nersesov

This book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to
harmonize it with classical mechanics. Using the highest standards of
exposition and rigor, the authors develop a novel formulation of
thermodynamics that can be viewed as a moderate-sized system theory as
compared to statistical thermodynamics. This middle-ground theory involves
deterministic large-scale dynamical system models that bridge the gap
between classical and statistical thermodynamics.

The authors' theory is motivated by the fact that a discipline as cardinal
as thermodynamics--entrusted with some of the most perplexing secrets of our
universe--demands far more than physical mathematics as its underpinning.
Even though many great physicists, such as Archimedes, Newton, and Lagrange,
have humbled us with their mathematically seamless eurekas over the
centuries, this book suggests that a great many physicists and engineers who
have developed the theory of thermodynamics seem to have forgotten that
mathematics, when used rigorously, is the irrefutable pathway to truth.

This book uses system theoretic ideas to bring coherence, clarity, and
precision to an extremely important and poorly understood classical area of
science.

Subject: New book, General Theory of Algebraic Equations

General Theory of Algebraic Equations
Etienne Bézout
Translated from the French by Eric Feron

This book provides the first English translation of Bezout's masterpiece,
the General Theory of Algebraic Equations. It follows, by almost two hundred
years, the English translation of his famous mathematics textbooks. Here,
Bézout presents his approach to solving systems of polynomial equations in
several variables and in great detail. He introduces the revolutionary
notion of the "polynomial multiplier," which greatly simplifies the problem
of variable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations. The
major result presented in this work, now known as "Bézout's theorem," is
stated as follows: "The degree of the final equation resulting from an
arbitrary number of complete equations containing the same number of
unknowns and with arbitrary degrees is equal to the product of the exponents
of the degrees of these equations."

The book offers large numbers of results and insights about conditions for
polynomials to share a common factor, or to share a common root. It also
provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the theories of integration and
differentiation of functions in the late eighteenth century, as well as one
of the first uses of determinants to solve systems of linear equations.
Polynomial multiplier methods have become, today, one of the most promising
approaches to solving complex systems of polynomial equations or
inequalities, and this translation offers a valuable historic perspective on
this active research field.

Subject: New book, Dynamic Models in Biology

Princeton University Press is proud to announce the publication of a new
textbook, DYNAMIC MODELS IN BIOLOGY by Stephen P. Ellner and John
Guckenheimer.

From controlling disease outbreaks to predicting heart attacks, dynamic
models are increasingly crucial for understanding biological processes. Many
universities are starting undergraduate programs in computational biology to
introduce students to this rapidly growing field. In DYNAMIC MODELS IN
BIOLOGY, the first text on dynamic models specifically written for
undergraduate students in the biological sciences, ecologist Stephen Ellner
and mathematician John Guckenheimer teach students how to understand, build,
and use dynamic models in biology.

Developed from a course taught by Ellner and Guckenheimer at Cornell
University, the book is organized around biological applications, with
mathematics and computing developed through case studies at the molecular,
cellular, and population levels. The authors cover both simple analytic
models--the sort usually found in mathematical biology texts--and the
complex computational models now used by both biologists and mathematicians.

Linked to a Web site with computer-lab materials and exercises, DYNAMIC
MODELS IN BIOLOGY is a major new introduction to dynamic models for students
in the biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering.

Subject: New book, Honors Calculus

Honors Calculus
Charles R. MacCluer

This is the first modern calculus book to be organized axiomatically and to
survey the subject's applicability to science and engineering. A challenging
exposition of calculus in the European style, it is an excellent text for a
first-year university honors course or for a third-year analysis course. The
calculus is built carefully from the axioms with all the standard results
deduced from these axioms. The concise construction, by design, provides
maximal flexibility for the instructor and allows the student to see the
overall flow of the development. At the same time, the book reveals the
origins of the calculus in celestial mechanics and number theory.

The book introduces many topics often left to the appendixes in standard
calculus textbooks and develops their connections with physics, engineering,
and statistics. The author uses applications of derivatives and integrals to
show how calculus is applied in these disciplines. Solutions to all
exercises (even those involving proofs) are available to instructors upon
request, making this book unique among texts in the field.

* Focuses on single variable calculus
* Provides a balance of precision and intuition
* Offers both routine and demanding exercises

Subject: Announcing Conference on Adaptive Model Reduction Methods, May 06

Announcing a Conference on
Adaptive Model Reduction Methods for PDE Constrained Optimization
Rice University, Houston, Texas, May 17-19, 2006
http://www.caam.rice.edu/~amr2006/

PDE constrained optimization arises in many science and engineering
applications in the form of optimal design, optimal control, or
parameter identification problems. Often, applications involve
multiple physics and are characterized by behavior on a hierarchy of
spatial and/or temporal scales. Computational models of these systems
that can be used in optimization have to adequately represent the
input-output relation between optimization parameters and objective/
constraint functions, they have to be solved efficiently, and they
have to adapt to the progress of the optimization.

Adaptive model reduction methods such as adaptive finite element
methods, multiscale methods or balanced truncation model reduction
are key tools for computational reduced order model generation in
the optimization context. The development of such model reduction
methods, their analysis, and their integration into optimization
is an active and promising research area. This conference brings
together experts to foster exchange on the development of different
adaptive model reduction approaches and their integration into
optimization methodology.

Organizers: Matthias Heinkenschloss and Danny C. Sorensen (Rice U.).

Invited speakers: John E. Dennis (Rice U.), Serkan Gugercin (Virginia
Tech), Max Gunzburger (Florida State U.), Ronald Hoppe (U. of Houston
and U. of Augsburg), Tim Kelley (North Carolina State U.),
