Subject: Richard Weiss

Richard Weiss died on 31 July, shortly after his 51st birthday. Although he
had been suffering from various ailments for a number of years, which greatly
reduced his capacity for scientific work, much to his distress, his unexpected
death came as a shock for his friends and colleagues.

Richard's principal contributions to numerical analysis were in the area of
singularly perturbed differential equations. As early as 25 years ago, he
realized that analytical information was critical for the development of well-
behaved algorithms; with various co-workers he published some of the seminal
paers in this area. After ha had become a professor at the Technical University
of Vienna at the age of 34, he and his students (P.Markowich, Ch.Ringhofer,
Ch.Schmeiser, and others) extended these ideas to semiconductor modelling and
computation and to related problems. His ideas on dynamical systems were taken
up and further developed by P.Szmolyan and other students.

His friends around the globe will keep him in their memories as a hard-working,
lively, and good-natured person with whom they enjoyed to be associated.

Re: Academic Conferences On Web

In a recent NA Digest (Monday, August 11, 1997, Volume 97, Issue 32) Mr. Xin Yu
<yu@cfm.brown.edu> advertised a method to participate in "Conferences on the
Web." His instructions direct the reader to go to some kind of Web
yellow pages which has nothing to do with scientific research nor conferences
on the Web. In fact, the instructions lead one to Mr. Yu's personal page which
advertises what may be a pyramid scheme.

I hope in the future Mr. Yu is not allowed to post in NA Digest.

Regards,
Richard K. Skora


[Editor's Note: Richard is absolutely right that such postings do not belong
in the NA Digest. I'm sorry that I wasn't more careful with this one.

Subject: Solver for Local Nonlinear Optimization Problems

S o l v O p t
v. 1.1 (June, 1997)

is a collection of the M-files for use with Matlab, FORTRAN and C source codes.

SolvOpt (Solver for local optimization problems) is concerned with
minimization or maximization of nonlinear, possibly non-smooth objective
functions and solution of nonlinear minimization problems taking into account
constraints by the method of exact penalization.

SolvOpt is a freeware and comes with no warranty.

Platforms:
MS Windows 3.xx, '95, HP Unix.

Compilers (required products):
Matlab 4.2 (MS Windows, UNIX), Matlab 5.0 (UNIX),
MS Visual C++, HP-UNIX C,
MS FORTRAN Optimizing Compiler 1.0, HP-UNIX FORTRAN-90.

Manuals:
the complete manual on SolvOpt is available as an Adobe 3.0 PS-file,
the online reference manual on SolvOpt is a shortened version of the
complete one.

Benchmarks:
the results illustrating the performance of the program
are presented on the web (but not given in the manual).

All this stuff is available for downloading from the URL:
http://bedvgm.kfunigraz.ac.at:8001/alex/solvopt/index.html

What is new in version 1.1?
- the program itself calculates suitable penalty coefficients,
- the step size strategy has been improved essentially,
- the termination criteria have become more strict,
- the code is better adapted to minimization of badly scaled,
almost "flat" and extremely "steep" functions,
- the routine does not stop at a point, where no function value
is available or it equals infinity, or gradient is zero,
unless it fails to find a way to pass a "bad" area,
- the manual is completed by including the chapters specific
for a programming language,
- warning messages come every time when the program detects
an irregular (complicated) case, so the user is aware of
possible failures.
- The FORTRAN and C versions are fully tested now.

However,
- still no information about Lagrange multipliers is computed,
- FORTRAN-77 is no more supported,
- the authors plan no further improvement to the code by the end of
the academic year 1997-1998.

Subject: Research Postion at Danish Supercomputing Center

Ph.D. Project
Object-Oriented Software for Large-scale Environmental Models

A 3 year Ph.D. position is available from the Danish Research
Academy in cooperation with the National Environmental Research
Institute, the Danish Supercomputing Center (UNI-C) and the Department
of Mathematical Modelling at the Technical University of Denmark.

The solution of different environmental problems is becoming more
and more important for the society. However, if all physical processes
are carefully described in the model it is difficult to handle such
problems numerically and it becomes necessary to use flexible software
in order to benefit from the progress which is continuously made in
numerical methods for PDEs and ODEs. The purpose of the project is to
investigate the use of object-oriented software design for large-scale
environmental models. The initial task will be to form a library of
building blocks for the Danish Eulerian model using an object-oriented
language and subsequently to extend the functionality to supporting 3D
as well as refined grid simulations. The main issues to be addressed
are parallelism and choice of numerical methods.

The salary for the first two years will be dkr. 171.504 and for the
third year dkr. 189.369. On top of this it will be possible to earn
approximately dkr. 52.000 a year.

The application must be received by the Danish Research Academy no
later than October, 1st, 1997. An application form as well as a
supplementary description of the project can be obtained from
