It is currently available through Mosaic with the URL name of http://www.cerfacs.fr It will be available later this week by anonymous ftp (ftp.cerfacs.fr). Hopefully, people in Europe will be able to access this easier than the repository at Yale. I took this opportunity to re-organize where some things are stored on MGNet. For example, I moved all of the software packages from the top level directory to a new subdirectory called Codes. The new organization is as follows: Codes All software packages are stored in subdirectories in here. Conferences Information, abstracts, or papers from old conferences are stored in here. For example, CopperMtn93 has the proceedings from the April, 1993 Copper Mountain meeting in it. How2Submit.mgnet A short summary of commands that can be used to put something into the archives using ftp. INDEX.mgnet A summary of what is in the archives (and where). README Simple information to get started. Whois Who receives the digests by e-mail (to the best of my knowledge). bib The 2,000+ BibTeX database. conferences Announcements of future meetings. digests The old digests (all of them). incoming Where new things get put before being stored in the right place (only at Yale, not the mirror sites). papers Where lots of preprints are stored. There are some other files and directories, but they are only for operating MGNet. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 17 Oct 1994 18:36:11 +0200 (MESZ) From: Friedhelm Schieweck Subject: Meisdorf Meeting Abstracts Concerning the abstracts I have to say that only a part of them (27) is available on the computer (as LaTeX), the other part exists only as a paper. Please tell me if you are intersted in this LaTeX-part of the abstracts which I could send you by ftp and if yes please tell me the directory on the server.

The papers should be sent to the address below (or to any other editor of COMPUTING) until December 15, 1994. The "instructions to authors" are in every issue of COMPUTING (2 copies with summary, AMS subject classification, keywords, if possible German translation of the title and summary). The paper is to be sent to Prof Dr Wolfgang Hackbusch Editor of Computing Institut f"ur Informatik und Praktische Mathematik Christian-Albrechts-Universit"at D-24098 Kiel Germany Fax.++431-880 4054 e-mail: wh@informatik.uni-kiel.d400.de Please forward this information to interested colleagues. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 2 Oct 94 14:09:57 MET From: Graham Horton Subject: Time Parallel Paper Here is a "time-parallel" method that will appear in sisc next year. A SPACE-TIME MULTIGRID METHOD FOR PARABOLIC PDES G. HORTON and S. VANDEWALLE Abstract We consider the solution of parabolic partial differential equations. In standard time- stepping techniques multigrid can be used as an iterative solver for the elliptic equations arising at each discrete time-step. By contrast, the method presented in this paper treats the whole of the space-time problem simultaneously. Thus the multigrid operations of smoothing and coarse grid correction are defined on all of the space-time variables of a given grid-level. The method is characterized by a coarsening strategy with prolongation and restriction operators which depend at each grid level on the degree of anisotropy of the discretization stencil. Numerical results for the one- and two-dimensional heat equation are presented and are shown to agree closely with predictions from Fourier mode analysis.

C. Douglas, J. Douglas, Jr., and D. E. Fyfe In this paper, we extend some results from an earlier paper (SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 30 (1993), pp. 136-158) of the first two authors. We provide a unified theory for multilevel and multigrid methods when the usual assumptions are not present. For example, we do not assume that the solution spaces or the grids are nested. Further, we do not assume that there is an algebraic relationship between the linear algebra problems on different levels. What we provide is a computationally useful theory for adaptively changing levels. Theory is provided for multilevel correction schemes, nested iteration schemes, and one way (i.e., coarse to fine grid with no correction iterations) schemes. We include examples showing the applicability of this theory: finite element examples using quadrature in the matrix assembly and finite volume examples with non-nested grids. Our theory applies directly to finite difference, wavelet, and collocation based multilevel examples as well. (To appear in the East-West Journal of Numerical Mathematics, 1995.)
