Subject: Help with Bessel Functions
Dear colleagues,
I am interested in simplifying a function of the form (given in
Mathematica notation)
BesselI[-1/4, I a x^2] + I BesselI[1/4, I a x^2] Sign[x]
where 'I' is the imaginary unit, 'a' is a real parameter, 'x' is a real
variable and 'BesselI' is the modified Bessel function of the first
kind.
Are there any special properties of Bessel functions of orders +- 1/4
which could help in simplifying this expression? My hope would be to
obtain an expression possibly involving exponentials of polynomials of
x, but involving no Bessel functions. I fear that may not be possible,
though.
Thanks for any help,
Luis

Hi,
My name is Vinicio and I work for the Italian Weather Service. I am trying to
develop codes in matlab concerning geophysical fluid dynamics. I would like to
apply matlab in order to solve, and not make graphics, fundamental equations like
shallow water, quasigeostrophic and so on. Could you please help me to find
something already done in this field?
Best regards and greetings from Rome.

Subject: New Book, Introduction to Global Optimization
Introduction to Global Optimization (Second Edition)
by Reiner Horst, Panos M. Pardalos, and Nguyen Van Thoai
NONCONVEX OPTIMIZATION AND ITS APPLICATIONS 48
Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht
Hardbound, ISBN 0-7923-6574-7, October 2000, 368 pp.
NLG 300.00 / USD 147.00 / GBP 94.00
Paperback, ISBN 0-7923-6756-1, November 2000, 368 pp.
NLG 120.00 / USD 59.00 / GBP 38.00
Most of the existing books on optimization focus on the problem of
computing locally optimal solutions. Global optimization is concerned with
the computation and characterization of global optima of nonlinear
functions. Global optimization problems are widespread in the mathematical
modeling of real world systems for a very broad range of applications.
During the past three decades many new theoretical, algorithmic, and
computational contributions have helped to solve globally multi-extreme
problems arising from important practical applications.
Introduction to Global Optimization is the first comprehensive textbook
that covers the fundamentals in global optimization. The second edition
includes algorithms, applications, and complexity results for quadratic
programming, concave minimization, DC and Lipshitz problems,
decomposition algorithms for nonconvex optimization, and nonlinear
network flow problems. Each chapter contains illustrative examples and
ends with carefully selected exercises, which are designed to help the
student to get a grasp of the material and enhance their knowledge of global
optimization methods.
Audience: This textbook is addressed not only to students of mathematical
programming, but to all scientists in various disciplines who need global
optimization methods to model and solve problems.

Subject: Special Issue of Linear Algebra and Its Applications
Linear Algebra and Its Applications
Second call for papers for the Fourth Special Issue on
LINEAR SYSTEMS AND CONTROL
New deadline for submission: February 15, 2001
In the past, LAA has published three special issues devoted to
the field of Linear Systems and Control: 1983 (vol. 50), 1989
(vols. 122-124) and 1994 (vols. 203-204). More than six years
after the publication of the last special issue, it is time to
take stock of recent and current interactions between Linear
Algebra and Systems Theory.
The cross fertilization between these two fields has been very
fruitful in the past. While linear algebraic methods have been
instrumental for much of the development of linear systems
theory, many system theoretic concepts and constructions are now
part of the body of linear algebra. Today systems theory is a
place where methods from many different parts of mathematics are
combined. As a result linear systems theory has become a rich
source of linear algebraic problems. More recently, new
paradigms, new problems and areas of application have appeared
on the scene: the behavioural approach, coding theory, distance
problems and parameter uncertainty, the dynamic systems approach to=20
algorithms, computational complexity issues in systems theory and
discrete event systems.
These important subject areas have enriched linear systems theory
and will influence the future development of linear algebra, too.
We hope that the upcoming issue will further this process and we
encourage all authors working in these areas to submit their
contributions.
As in previous issues, this one will be open for all papers with
significant new results in Systems and Control Theory where
either linear algebraic methods play an important role or new
tools and problems of linear algebraic nature are presented.
Also survey papers are very welcome which illustrate specific
areas where the interaction of Systems Theory and Linear Algebra
has been particularly successful. Papers must meet the
publication standards of Linear Algebra and Its Applications and
will be refereed in the usual way.
Areas and topics of interest for this special issue include:
- Structure theory of linear systems and system families
- Stability theory
- Distance problems and analysis of uncertain systems
- Methods of robust control
- Approximation and interpolation problems arising in systems theory
- Geometric control theory and geometry of linear systems
- Linear behaviors
- Multidimensional systems and systems over rings
- Module theoretic techniques in system theory
- Coding theory with connections to systems theory
- Algorithms for linear systems
- Numerical issues in linear systems theory
- Computational complexity in linear algebra and systems theory
- Discrete event systems
The deadline for submission of papers is 15 February 2001, and
the special issue is expected to be published in 2002. Papers should be=20
sent to any of its special editors:=20
