Hyperbolic Problems, Theory, Numerical Methods and Applications - Second International Conference, RWTH Aachen, March, 14-18, 1988 Last Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------------- Objective The first international conference on Hyperbolic Problems was held in St. Etienne, in 1986. The proceedings were published in the series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics (Springer, Heidelberg 1987). Systems of nonlinear hyperbolic problems play an important role in science and technology, e.g. aerodynamics, multiphasic flows with cavitation, nonlinear waves in solids, flow in porous media, plasma physics, astrophysics, combustion problems, nonequilibrium flows, extraction, biology. In the last few years, significant advances have been made in the exact and approximate solution of systems of nonlinear hyperbolic equations and their applications. The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists in the field for a presentation of recent results and to discuss future research. The main topics are: 1. Theory of nonlinear hyperbolic systems 2. Numerical methods for solving these systems 3. Applications. Invited Lectures A.M. Blokhin K.W. Morton S. Charkravarty S. Osher R.J. DiPerna O. Oleinik J. Engelbrecht M. Pandolfi J. Glimm B.L. Rozhdestvensky V.P. Maslov Y. Shokin Call for Papers At the conference we will have invited 40 minutes lectures and contributed 40 minutes lectures and 20 minutes talks. Contribu- tions are sought in the above mentioned areas. The abstract should be at least two pages and at most 4 pages including figures and references. 40 minutes lectures have to be of interest for all par- ticipants of the conference. The scientific committee will select the papers. When submitting the abstract please note that we intend to provide the participants at the beginning of the conference with the abstracts. Hence it would be helpful to give pertinent referen- ces as well as information which is difficult for the audience to write down during your presentation. If after the refereeing process changes of the abstracts are neces- sary the final version should be in our hands by January 20, 1988. Scientific Committee Y. Zhu, Academia Sinica, Beijing Z.

Henrici Memorial Fund The Peter K. Henrici Memorial Fund has been established at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Income from the fund will be used to support and encourage the research and scholarly activities of young pre or post-doctoral scholars in applied and computational mathematics. The intent is to honor and keep alive the memory of Peter and his remarkable qualities as a teacher and scholar. The source of the money for this fund will be gifts from friends and colleagues of Peter. It is hoped that a substantial fund can be built as a permanent memorial. Contributions may be sent to John A. Pfaltzgraff, Chairman Mathematics Department Box 3250 University of North Carolina Chapell Hill, NC 27514 Checks should be made payable to: Peter Henrici Memorial Fund. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Sep 87 19:50:52 EDT From: Kurt Fickie (IBD) <fickie@BRL.MIL> To: na@score.stanford.EDU Subject: Seeking software for bifurcation and inverse conduction. I would like to know the availability of a program called AUTO? It is a bifurcation code written in FORTRAN. I used it as a graduate student about five years ago and it worked very well. I recently saw a reference to the code as AUTO86. I am particularly interested in a copy for a Sun or an Alliant (i.e., UNIX port). Another request. Does anyone know of a code which solves inverse heat conduction problems? I would think those who engineer heat shields would have several computer models. ------------------------------ Date: 11 Sep 87 10:54:00 EDT From: "SIAM" <siam@wharton.upenn.edu> Subject: Leshner to speak at Denver SIAM meeting To: "na" <na@score.stanford.edu> Reply-To: "SIAM" <siam@wharton.upenn.edu> Alan I.

To: golub@score.stanford.edu I am wondering if anyone could direct me to software (or people who know how) to solve linear systems with rational coefficients exactly. I have gone through TOMS and the last reference I could find was the one by Sasaki and Murao in 1982. Is there more recent work? The problems we have in mind are very large (like 1000 by 1000), non-square, rank-deficient, and very sparse. Of course, such problems can be handled with available symbol manipulation languages, but I am trying to find more special purpose type packages that make use of the special structure, and can solve larger problems than e.g., REDUCE could.
