There was also some confusion about the last issue's addendum, so I am re-running the extra items here. My apologies for the duplication for those who have received them twice. ---> As always, MGNet always needs new material. Please contribute! <--- Updates to the Copper Mountain Conference on Iterative Methods or preprints from other relevant conferences are welcome. Many of you have noticed that the Yale repository of MGNet is still not accessible. An effort is underway there to rectify this. Please continue to use www.mgnet.org or one of the mirrors instead. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 12:31:11 -0500 From: Craig Douglas Subject: Abstracts Due at 10th GAMM Workshop on Multigrid Methods Important date: May 15th for abstracts to the 10th Anniversary International GAMM - Workshop on Multigrid Methods October 5 - 8, 1998 at Bonn (Germany). For further information: http://wwwwissrech.iam.uni-bonn.de/mg10 ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 13:33:13 -0700 (PDT) From: "Randolph E. Bank" Subject: Pltmg8.0 PLTMG 8.0 is a package for solving elliptic partial differential equations in general regions of the plane. It is based on continuous piecewise linear triangular finite elements, and features adaptive local mesh refinement, multigraph iteration, and pseudo-arclength continuation options for parameter dependencies. The package includes an initial mesh generator and several graphics packages. Full documentation is provided in PLTMG: A Software Package for Solving Elliptic Partial Differential Equations - Users' Guide 8.0 (ISBN 0-89871-409-5), available from SIAM Publications. PLTMG is provided as Fortran (and a little C) source code, in both single and double precision versions. The included X-Windows GUI uses the default Athena Widget set, and makes calls to standard library routines of the X-Windows system, which must be loaded along with the PLTMG software. PLTMG is available from Netlib and MGNet. Editor's Note: The previous version (7.2) is still on MGNet, but will be ------------- deleted eventually. You can find version 8.0 either in www.mgnet.org/mgnet-codes.html or in mgnet/Codes/pltmg. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 16:38:54 +0000 From: "M.Buecker" Subject: Copper Mountain 98 paper This is to inform you that I put an abstract and a ps-file of my Copper Mountain 98 paper into the directory ... at ftp www.mgnet.org. The paper differs slightly from the one printed in the preliminary proceedings.

I also put there a note which I wrote recently (note.ps). Although I didn't talk about it formally in Copper, I wonder if you could put it on the virtual proceedings as well.

Objective of the work is a collaboration with the Italian federal research center CNR/CNUCE (Pisa) on the improvement of the structural analysis code NOSA, which has been developed by CNUCE for the simulation of historic buildings. Parallel, adaptive and hierarchical sparse matrix solvers will be integrated into NOSA and new solvers will be developed.
