Call for Papers: The 2006 IAENG International Workshop on Scientific
Computing and Computational Statistics

(Part of The International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer
Scientists IMECS 2006)

20-22 June, 2006, Hong Kong
http://www.iaeng.org/IMECS2006/IWSCCS2006.html

The IWSCCS’06 has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical
and applied scientific computing and computational statistics subjects
and their applications. It serves as good platforms for the scientific
computing and computational statistics community members to meet with
each other and to exchange ideas.

The IMECS 2006 multiconference has the focus on the frontier topics in
the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects.
It consists of 14 workshops (see the details at IMECS website:
www.iaeng.org/IMECS2006). The multiconference serves as good platforms
for the engineering community members of different disciplines to meet
with each other and to exchange ideas. The current conference committee
of the IMECS 2006 includes over 140 workshop co-chairs and committee
research scientists from over 20 countries, while a few of the
committee members are also experienced software development directors
and engineers.

All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 988-98671-3-3). The
abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases.
The Technology Research Databases (TRD) of CSA (Cambridge Scientific
Abstracts), DBLP and Computer Science Bibliographies have promised to
index the print proceeding in advance of its publication. And after the
publication of the proceeding, print copies will also be sent to
databases like IEE INSPEC, Engineering Index (EI) and ISI Thomson
Scientific for indexing. The accepted papers will also be considered
for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering
Letters. Some participants may also be invited to submit extended
version of their conference papers for considering as book chapters
(soon after the conference).

New mathematical twists

I would like to inform all of you that there is an interesting book recently published"New Mathematical Twists". This book is about a whole new way of thinking about mathematics. The solutions to the problems in the book will lead you to a hidden treasure. Who knows, the lucky winner may be one of the members of this board. On top of the hidden treasure, you will find many interesting facts about life in general. You can order a copy of the book on this website: www.mathtwists.com.

Exponent manipulation

Hi,
i am currently programming a numberical solution in matlab.
exponents in the solution result in numbers larger than the
double-percision floating point limit (~10^308).
expo = exp(2*g1*(L+x)/h1)
(L+x)/h1 is very small.
g1 is an array based on the properties of the system. the higher
elements of g1 cause the limit to be exceeded.
These exponents are then formed into a three-dimensional array.
is there any way to manipulate the numbers so that they do not exceed
the floating point limit?

I have tried
expo_1 = exp((2*g1*(L+x)/h1)/n)
expo = expo_1^n
but expo still exceeds the limit and also as n becomes larger, the
percision of the answer drops due to computing errors.

Thanks,
Chris

need help: non-linear optimization with linear constraint.

I am totally new to the field of linear/nonlinear programming. I only
have a rough idea about some basic concepts.

The funtion (about 100 variables) to be minimized doesn’t have a close
form. And evaluating it requires some sort of simulation. In another
word, first derivative is not avaiable. There are some linear
constraints on those variables.

Based on my readings, the simple solutions are simplex method or
Powell’s method.  However, I haven’t found any material on how to
handle constraint in those methods.

So, any suggestion, any pointer to readings or implementation will be

matrix examples

does anyone have any links of any site giving examples of any real or
complex matrices having repeat eigenvalues?

thanks

GMRES: what to use for MSOLVE, MATVEC

Please point me to a more appropriate group if this group
isn’t the right one to ask my question.

I grabbed GMRES Fortran code (specifically, single precision
SGMRES) from netlib.org. This code requires 2 user supplied
functions, MSOLVE and MATVEC. I was trying to find out what
functions people typically hook these up to, but searching
for more than one hour with Google didn’t turn up any info
that conclusively answered that question. I also checked the
online book at http://www.netlib.org/templates/templates.ps

Since MSOLVE is solving a system of linear equations, and
MATVEC is computing a matrix-vector product, I think that
I might be able to use the LAPACK routine SGESV for MSOLVE,
and the BLAS2 routine SGEMV for MATVEC.

I have only rudimentary Fortran skills, so I would like to
find out whether I am on the correct path before charging
in that direction. Any insights are much appreciated.

erf

Hi !

I would like to code the inverse of erf. Any pointers ?

Slow transport & turn-table-OUT are both UP.

$$Slow transport & turn-table-OUT are both UP.$$     "A clock moving OUT [ HORZ ] on a turn-table", moves UP.
$$Any HORiZONTAL clock "SLOW transport" is *UP* transport.$$
$$Where HORiZONTAL means something for a WORLD-line POiNT.$$     Where OUT and UP means something for a WORLD-line POiNT.
