Householder Award V (1990) In recognition of the outstanding services of Alston Householder, former Director of the Mathematics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Professor at the University of Tennessee, to numerical analysis and linear algebra, it was decided at the Fourth Gatlinburg Symposium (now renamed the Householder Symposium) in 1969 to establish the Householder Award. This award is in the area in which Professor Householder has worked and its natural developments, as exemplified by the international Gatlinburg Symposia [see A. S. Householder, The Gatlinburgs, SIAM Review 16:340-343 (1974)]. Recent recipients of the award include James Demmel (Berkeley), Ralph Byers (Cornell), and Nicholas Higham (Manchester). The Householder Prize V (1990) will be awarded to the author of the best thesis in Numerical Algebra. The term Numerical Algebra is intended to describe those parts of mathematical research which have both algebraic aspects and numerical content or implications. Thus the term covers, for example, linear algebra that has numerical applications or the algebraic aspects of ordinary differential, partial differential, integral, and nonlinear equations. The thesis will be assessed by an international committee consisting of Chandler Davis (Toronto), Beresford Parlett (Berkeley), Axel Ruhe (Gothenborg), Pete Stewart (Maryland), and Paul Van Dooren (Phillips, Belgium). To qualify, the thesis must be for a degree at the level of an American Ph.D. awarded between 1 January 1987 and 31 December 1989. An equivalent piece of work will be acceptable from those countries where no formal thesis is normally written at that level. The candidate's sponsor (e.g., supervisor of his research) should submit five copies of the thesis (or equivalent) together with an appraisal to Professor G. W. Stewart Department of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 USA by 28 February 1990. The award will be announced at the Householder XI meeting and the candidates on the short list will receive invitations to that meeting. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Reposted by Prof. Kenneth R.
