Subject: Announcement of release of BOBYQA
This Fortran software seeks the least value of a function of several variables
without requiring any derivatives of the objective function. It was developed
from my NEWUOA package for this calculation in the unconstrained case. The
main new feature of BOBYQA, however, is that it allows lower and upper bounds
on each variable. The name BOBYQA denotes Bound Optimization BY Quadratic
Approximation.
Please send an e-mail to me at mjdp@cam.ac.uk if you would like to receive a
free copy of the Fortran software. As far as I know BOBYQA is the most
powerful package available at present for minimizing functions of hundreds of
variables without derivatives subject to simple bound constraints. There are
no restrictions on its use. I would be delighted if it becomes valuable to
much research and many applications.

Subject: New book, Introduction to Derivative-Free Optimization
We are pleased to announce the book
Introduction to Derivative-Free Optimization,
A. R. Conn, K. Scheinberg, and L. N. Vicente,
MPS-SIAM Book Series on Optimization, SIAM, Philadelphia, 2009
It provides a contemporary, comprehensive treatment of optimization
without derivatives, and it covers most of the relevant classes of
algorithms from direct-search to model-based approaches.
The book is intended for anyone interested in using optimization
on problems where derivatives are difficult or impossible to obtain
and is readily accessible to readers with a modest background in
computational mathematics.
Introduction to Derivative-Free Optimization contains:
- A comprehensive description of the sampling and modeling
tools needed for derivative-free optimization that allow the
reader to better understand the convergent properties of the
algorithms and identify their differences and similarities.
- Analysis of convergence for search-poll direct-search, modified
Nelder-Mead, and implicit-filtering methods, as well as for
model-based methods such as wedge methods and methods based
on minimum-norm Frobenius models.

Subject: Distributed & Unified Numerical Environment (DUNE) Course, Mar 2009
IWR, University Heidelberg, Germany
http://conan.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/dune-workshop/
In many areas of science and engineering numerical simulation is an
important tool for research and development. Current simulation
trends range from multiscale-/multiphysics modelling to the usage of
parallel machines with PetaFlops performance. The Distributed and
Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE) tries to fit these
heterogeneous requirements inside a single environment with novel
numerical techniques as well as state-of-the-art software development
methods.
By participating in this course scientists have the opportunity to get
a hands-on introduction to the DUNE framework. Main focus is to give a
detailed introduction to the DUNE core modules: the grid interface
including IO methods with its numerous grid implementations and the
iterative solver module ISTL. In the exercises elliptic and hyperbolic
model problems will be solved with various methods.
In addition, a course on advanced C++ programming will be held
before the DUNE workshop on March 23-24, 2009.

Subject: Spring School on Fluid Mechanics and Geophysics, Singapore, Apr 2009
The Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of
Singapore will host the Spring School on ``Fluid Mechanics and Geophysics
of Environmental Hazards ''during 19 April -- 2 May, 2009 and fund support
for students are available.
Overview:
Environmental hazards, such as tsunamis triggered by earthquakes, tropical
cyclones, monsoon flooding, volcanic eruptions and landslides, are all too
familiar in Asia and the Pacific region, and have been the cause of
catastrophic disasters. These hazards are a consequence of mechanical
processes in the earth, ocean and atmosphere, and in order to understand
them and hence to develop well-informed strategies for the mitigation of
future disasters, it is necessary to develop sound scientific theory based
on geophysical observations and data, the principles of fluid and solid
mechanics, and an appropriate combination of mathematical and
computational analysis.
This School is intended to focus on fluid mechanical aspects, and is aimed
at students who have already graduated in mathematics, physics or
engineering, and who wish to undertake research in
this broad area. It is intended to bring students rapidly to current
research frontiers in the fluid mechanics of environmental hazards. The
School will start with introductory and motivational lectures on the
fundamentals of geophysical fluid dynamics, and on geophysical hazard and
risk in atmosphere and ocean contexts, and will then focus on four
specific environmental hazards: (i) typhoons and tropical cyclones; (ii)
monsoons and flooding; (iii) tsunamis; and (iv) pollution of atmosphere,
ocean and the urban environment.
The School will include workshop activity in which groups of students will
study key papers cited by the lecturers, and will be encouraged to
identify and formulate new model problems that need to be solved in each
of the above four areas. In this way, it is envisaged that the students
will be fully involved in active and collaborative research activity.
Fund support for students:
Student registration is now invited. Grants to cover travel and local
subsistence costs will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applications
from students resident in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Korea,
Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as
Singapore, are particularly encouraged. Limited places may be available
for applicants from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or further afield.

Patient-specific modeling of blood vessel anatomy and hemodynamics is a
promising tool that may aid clinicians in their decision-making and, as
such, it is a current hot-topic in computational life-sciences. In this
summer school we will focus on two tools, VMTK for creating
patient-specific geometries and FEniCS for performing flow computations.
Particular emphasis is put on hands-on sessions in which participants will
learn to master the tools under guidance by their very creators.

The Institute of Applied Mathematics at the Technische Universitaet Dortmund
(Germany) offers a position for a researcher at the Chair of Scientific
Computing (Professor H. Blum, http://www.mathematik.uni-dortmund.de/lsx).
Salary will be according to TVL 13 (100%) on the German salary scale for the
public service. The position is limited for 2 years, an extension will be
possible.
The successful candidate will work on a project in the newly established
Collaborative Research Centre SFB / TR 73. Major duties include the
development, analysis and implementation of finite element based methods for
problems in forming technology, whose efficiency relies on an adaptive choice
of the underlying physical model.
Required qualifications include a M.Sc. or Diploma in mathematics or an allied
field and knowledge about mechanical modelling and discretisation techniques
for the corresponding partial differential equations in the context of the
finite element method. Further, some experiences of programming with object
oriented programming languages is required. Additionally, knowledge of the
mathematical theory and analysis of adaptive methods and of elastoplastic
deformation of metallic materials would be an advantage. We expect the
successful candidate to cooperate in an interdisciplinary way with engineers
from different areas of forming technology.
Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. M. Stiemer, Technische
Universitaet Dortmund, Fak. Mathematik, LS X, D-44221 Dortmund (e-mail:
