He was 76 years old, and is survived by his wife, Phyllis, and two children, Chris and Meredith. He was born August 27, 1918, served for five years during World War II (much of it as an Army Air Corps weather observer in North Africa), and earned all of his degrees at UCLA, receiving the PhD in 1952. He taught at the University of Connecticut for one year, and returned to the Numerical Analysis Research project at UCLA. He also taught numerical analysis courses in the UCLA Extension, and, in 1957, married one of his students, Phyllis van Liew. His subsequent career, from the beginning of the space age, was at Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation and its successors, Space Technology Laboratories and TRW. He devised a very useful algorithm for scaling of matrices in eigenvalue computations. He was a cheerful fellow, always laughing. He retired in 1985. In 1992 he was happy to see many of his old friends from the early days at a reunion in Los Angeles during SIAM's 40th Anniversary Meeting.

These include the following subdirectories: Goodwin finite-element, fluid mechanics problem, from Ralph Goodwin, Univ. of Illinois Hamm circuit simulation matrices from Steve Hamm, Motorola Mallya chemical engineering matrices from Jayarama Mallya, Univ. of Illinois. Portfolio a financial portfolio optimization problem, acquired by Ed Rothberg, Silicon Graphics Shyy CFD matrices from Wei Shyy, Univ. of Florida Simon CFD matrices from Horst Simon, NASA Wang semiconducter device simulations, from Song Wang, University of New South Wales Zitney chemical engineering matrices from Steve Zitney, Cray Research, Inc. The largest matrices (from Shyy, Mallya, and Simon, and in the Portfolio subdirectory) are about 70,000-by-70,000, with up to 1.7 million nonzeros. These include both symmetric and unsymmetric matrices. Each subdirectory contains a README file that gives more information about the matrices. I'll be adding to this collection as new matrices arrive. If you would like to add to this collection, please contact me (davis@cis.ufl.edu, phone 1 (904) 392-1481). Adding your matrix to this collection has the potential of improving the performance of future sparse matrix algorithms for your type of matrices, by making them available to any sparse algorithm developer. Other useful collections of sparse matrices include the Harwell/Boeing collection (anon. ftp to orion.cerfacs.fr) and SPARSKIT2 (anon. ftp to ftp.cs.umn.edu). Tim Davis Univ. of Florida Gainesville, FL, USA ------------------------------ From: Yin Zhang Date: Tue, 11 Oct 1994 13:22:52 -0400 (EDT) Subject: MATLAB Toolkit for Linear Programming I am pleased to announce the Beta release of LIPSOL -- Linear programming Interior-Point SOLvers. -- What is LIPSOL? -- LIPSOL is a MATLAB toolkit that uses Matlab's sparse-matrix data structure and MEX utilities to achieve both programming simplicity and computational efficiency. The primary goal of this software is to provide researchers and their students in the field of interior-point methods a convenient and yet powerful tool for quickly experimenting and comparing various ideas and algorithms on nontrivial LP problems. The current release is Beta-version. It can solve a large majority of LP problems in the Netlib collection, mostly within seconds on a fast workstation such as SGI Indigo 2. LIPSOL is still under active development. Some effective techniques are still to be implemented, such as dense-column handling. Highly expandable, LIPSOL may also be used as a teaching tool, or even to solve real-world problems of tens of thousands of variables. -- What platforms are supported? -- The Beta version contains binary files without sources and is therefore machine-dependent. It includes distributions for DEC (Ultrix), SGI (IRIX 4.1 and 5.2) and Sun Sparcs (SunOS 4) workstations. Future releases will be including sources and be more portable. -- Where to obtain LIPSOL? -- LIPSOL Beta-version is free and may be downloaded through anonymous FTP from the site: ftp.math.umbc.edu in the directory: pub/zhang/lipsol (also available through WWW from the URL: http://math.umbc.edu/~zhang/). There are 2 subdirectories: matlab_4.1 and matlab_4.2, containing LIPSOL distributions constructed using Matlab 4.1 and Matlab 4.2 MEX utilities, respectively. A draft of a User's Guide is also available both as a compressed Postscript file and a compressed DVI file (compressed by gzip). The installation and use of LIPSOL are simple. See the README files for further information.
