More generally, SDP is a special case of programming over cone constraints. Recently, there has been great interest in this area due to applications in e.g.: finding bounds and good feasible solutions for hard combinatorial problems; min-max eigenvalue problems; matrix norm minimization; and control and systems theory. Mathematical Programming Series B is dedicating a special issue to Semidefinite Programming in recognition of the current interest and progress in this area. Authors should note the benefits of publication in a special issue --- a collection of high-quality related papers in one volume, plus a guarantee of publication of accepted papers with minimal time delay. Manuscripts are solicited on all aspects of semidefinite programming, including theory, applications, and numerical algorithms. Authors should send four copies of their submission to one of the guest editors Michael Overton Courant Institute of Math Science Computer Science Department New York University 251 Mercer Street New York NY 10012 Henry Wolkowicz Fax: (519) 725-5441 University of Waterloo Tel: (519) 888-4567 ext. 15589 Dept of Comb and Opt email: henry@orion.uwaterloo.ca Waterloo, Ont.

All manuscripts will be promptly and carefully refereed according to the normal Mathematical Programming editorial process. Publication standards follow the same criteria as for Mathematical Programming Series A. ------------------------------ From: Ulrich Hornung Date: Mon, 12 Sep 94 20:03:04 +0200 Subject: Newsletter on Homogenization and Optimal Design ANNOUNCEMENT A new Newsletter on HOMOGENIZATION and OPTIMAL DESIGN is be available.

In parallel, many very efficient algorithms for numerically solving these optimization problems have been developed. At this time, a large number of control problems have been recognized to be reducible to LMI-based optimization problems, and efficient software tools for solving these optimization problems exist. Papers are solicited for a special issue of the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, scheduled for July 1995, on LINEAR MATRIX INEQUALITIES IN CONTROL THEORY AND APPLICATIONS. Recent advances in applying LMI techniques to control theory and applications, including, but not restricted to the following topics are of interest: Control system modeling and identification Control system analysis and design Practical applications Software tools and packages SIX copies of the manuscripts, should be submitted to Ragu Balakrishnan or Eric Feron by JANUARY 1, 1995 for review. Manuscripts must not be longer than 6000 words of text, such that the length of the paper including figures, tables, and reference is within 10 pages of the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control. For author guidelines, please refer to a recent issue of the IJRNC, or contact the guest-editors.

Hardcover DM 128. ISBN 3-540-57111-6 Springer-Verlag Berlin ISBN 0-387-57111-6 Springer-Verlag New York This book deals with the numerical approximation of partial differential equations. Its scope is to provide a thorough illustration of numerical methods, carry out their stability and convergence analysis, derive error bounds, and discuss the algorithmic aspects relative to their implementation. A sound balancing of theoretical analysis, description of algorithms and discussion of applications is one of its main features. Many kinds of problems are addressed. A comprehensive theory of Galerkin method and its variants, as well as that of collocation methods, are developed for the spatial discretization. These theories are then specified to two numerical subspace realizations of remarkable interest: the finite element method and the spectral method. Table of Contents Part I.
