Subject: 3rd Parallel Circus
The 3rd Parallel Circus was held at IBM in Kingston on May 6-7. There
were no clowns nor elephant dropings but lots of good discussions on
parallel processing. Approximately 50 people attended during the two
days of the Circus. The first day, chaired by Gene Golub, was devoted
to linear algebra. Martin Schultz chaired the second day sessions
which finished up the linear algebra talks and covered particle methods.
Gene has set-up a NAnet address for the Parallel Circus so that comments,
questions, etc. can be sent to parallel_circus@na-net.stanford.edu.
Following are some comments, a list of the talks and list of attendees.
Any omissions or typos in names or addresses are unintentional; flames to

Comments made by attendees during the course of the circus were
favorable and unanimously in favor of continuation of the circus in
the future. Some distinct advantages are the exposure to as yet
unpublished work or work that will not be seen for some time. As a
specific example Craig Douglas's presentation covered material that is
accepted for publication but will not appear until December.
The informal nature of the Circus did not at all detract from the
quality of the presentations. Future meetings should consider having
shorter talks combined with longer breaks. Having non-stop talks is
too 'intense' and precludes the ability to talk one-on-one to
colleagues, which in many cases is more informative than the talks
themselves.
The next Circus is tentativley being planned for this Fall at Rutgers
with a spring '89 meeting at RPI. Stay tuned to na-net for details.
Thanks are to be extended to the IBM Center for Scientific Engineering
Computations and Enrico Clementi for providing the facilities for the
meeting. A special thanks goes to Vijay Sonnand for tending to the
organizational details.

Subject: Need Sparse SVD Code
I would like to know if there is a code to determine the SVD of a large sparse
matrix of order 729 with 85000 non-zero entries. This is an unsymmetric
matrix stored as a vector of values, column pointer and row start pointer.
Replies to me on NATILAK@VAX.OX.AC.UK or Dan Howard on HOWARD@VO.RL.AC.UK.
Use of the code will be gratefully acknowledged in the usual form.

Subject: LAA Special Issue on Matrix Valued Functions
LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Special Issue on
MATRIX VALUED FUNCTIONS
Recently there has been considerable progress in the subject
of matrix valued functions. This advance has been motivated
by the intrinsic mathematical interest in such functions as
well as their use in such applied areas as linear systems
theory and signal processing. The high level of current
activities in this subject is evident from the recent special
issues of LAA on Linear Systems and Control (volume 50 and a
forthcoming issue), the book Linear Algebra and its Role in
Systems Theory(AMS Contemporary Mathematics series, volume
47), the volume on Matrix Pencils (Springer Lecture Notes in
Mathematics, volume 973), a forthcoming issue of Operator
Theory : Advances and Applications, and from the perusal of
many mathematical and engineering journals.
Contributions for this special issue are invited on any
topic, theoretical or applied, in which matrix valued
functions and their structure play a significant role.
Besides linear systems theory and signal processing mentioned
above, these topics include numerical analysis(in particular
computation of structural invariants of matrix valued
functions), function and operator theoretic aspects of matrix
valued functions, and special classes of matrix valued
functions. Papers on operator valued functions will be
considered provided they have a finite dimensional flavor.
Papers should meet the usual publication standards of LAA and
will be refereed in the usual way. Both original research
papers and survey articles are invited. The deadline for
submission is July 1989 with expected publication in the
summer or fall of 1990. Papers may be sent to any of the
special editors of the issue:

Subject: October Workshop on Iterative Methods
INVITATION TO ATTEND AND SUBMIT A PAPER TO
Workshop on Practical Iterative Methods for Large Scale Computations
Sun. Oct. 23 (evening) through Tues. Oct. 25, 1988
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
Sponsored by the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together computer scientists,
applied mathematicians, physical scientists, and engineers to present
their latest results and discuss their computational approaches for
solving the largest and most computational intensive problems with
iterative methods. The emphasis will be on large linear systems and
eigenvalue problems. Some of the applications that will be represented
are chemical reactions, device simulation, electron scattering, fluid
dynamics, reservoir simulation, and structural engineering; and the
algorithms of interest include conjugate gradient and Lanczos methods,
domain decomposition, multigrid techniques, and preconditioning.
