Uli Ruede Editor's Note: in mgnet/papers/Ruede/mctmam-refs.bib ------------- ------------------------------------------------------- From: Daniel Baltzer Date: Tue, 7 Dec 1993 15:51:41 +0100 Subject: Special Issues of Advances in Computational Mathematics Call for Papers: The journal Advances in Computational Mathematics would like to announce a special issue which is to be concerned with practical and theoretical aspects of multiscale techniques. Advances in Computational Mathematics is a new journal devoted to all aspects of computational mathematics, including basic theory, applications, algorithms and software. The journal is published by Baltzer Publishing from Basel, Switzerland, and currently has more than forty members on its editorial board, representing all areas of computational mathematics. John Mason of the Royal Military College of Science, Shrivenham, UK, and Charles A. Micchelli of T.J. Watson IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA serve as editors-in-chief. Multigrid algorithms and multilevel methods are very prominent and perhaps the most important recently developed concepts in a central area of computational mathematics, namely the numerical treatment of partial differential equations. The concept of wavelets arose from rather different sources but turns out to be closely related. In fact, while wavelets have found their primary applications in signal processing, image analysis and data compression, recent investigations indicate their promising potential for the numerical treatment of operator equations as well. Summarizing all these techniques under the term multiscale techniques is perhaps justified by their many common features. Their enormous overall impact on computational mathematics as well as perpetually fruitful feedback between applications, theory and development of tools make it an excellent topic for a special issue of a journal with the above profile which we hope could help synthesizing the ideas, aspects and directions of research. Therefore we cordially invite you to submit high quality, unpublished manuscripts on any mathematical or algorithmic aspect of multiscale techniques and their applications. We particularly welcome manuscripts on wavelet and multiscale techniques for the numerical treatment of operator equations, fast numerical linear algebra, inverse problems and statistics or applications to geometric modelling. All submitted papers will undergo the usual process of peer review. We hope to publish a large number of submissions and will strive to ensure that each paper receives careful and prompt consideration. If you would like to submit a paper to this special issue please send three copies of the manuscript to: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Dahmen, Guest Editor, Special Issue on Multiscale Techniques, Institut fur Geometrie und Praktische Mathematik, RWTH Aachen, Templergraben 55, 52056 Aachen, Germany. E-mail: dahmen@igpm.rwth-aachen.de The deadline for submissions is June 30, 1994. We anticipate that the special issue will appear early in 1995.

Unless the book has not yet been announced by Slobodan Mijalkovic I would ask for the following announcement in your mgnet-news. Thank you in advance Wolfgang Joppich Multigrid Methods for Process Simulation by W. Joppich and S. Mijalkovic Gesellschaft fuer Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung, Sankt Augustin, Germany and University of Nis, Nis, Yugoslavia This book combines both research in multigrid methods and a particular application field, here -- process simulation. It is the declared intention of this book to convince by practically demonstrating the power of the multigrid principle and to establish an example of fruitful interdisciplinary interaction. The introduction to multigrid is therefore strictly directed towards the goal to provide the algorithmical overview one needs to compose optimal multigrid algorithms for evolution problems of process simulation and similar applications. The necessary explanation how and why multigrid works is derived from the roots. So the book preassumes no advanced familiarity with numerical analysis. Additionally a complete strategy to implement different algorithmical components on an adaptive multilevel grid structure is presented. The outlined principle of grid refinement and adaptation is based on the control of errors and is reliable as well as general. Last but not least the described strategies are applied to ``real life'' problems of process simulation. Consequently this book is an important contribution to the interdisciplinary challenge of improving numerical techniques for diffusion problems of process simulation.

I have a lot of copies of a NASA report which I have to carry to your house along with your Christmas cards, boxes, and catalogs. Do you mind if I wait until after the 25th? They are bulky and kind of heavy. Next time, please ask them to mail these things a different month (August is a good month; I am on vacation then). Thanks! Editor's Note: Thanks Duane for the proceedings. They are mostly here by ------------- the 31st. This is the weirdest e-mail message to MGNet yet. ------------------------------ End of MGNet Digest **************************
