product, elementwise multiplication and many others) using standard
MATLAB syntax, linear complexity in the dimension, reshape function
- Fast rounding procedure with a prescribed accuracy
- Advanced approximation and solution techniques:
- Approximate solution of linear systems and eigenvalue problems
- Cross methods to approximate ``black-box'' tensors
- Wavelet tensor train decomposition

function of a TT-tensor)
- Computation of maximal and minimal elements of a tensor
- and several others
New in Version 2.2
* Better documentation
* Mixed QTT-Tucker format (qtt_tucker class)
* reshape function for a TT-tensor/TT-matrix
* dmrg_cross method for black-box tensor approximation

Subject: New Book, Systems Theory
SYSTEMS THEORY : Regional Analysis of Infinite Dimensional Linear
Systems.
Authors A. EL JAI, L. AFIFI and E. ZERRIK
2012 / xx + 425 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-2-35412-140-2
Price 49 € /
This book fills a gap between theory-oriented investigations in
systems theory and practical motivations and approaches to usual
concepts in linear distributed parameter systems. Since distributed
parameter systems evolve in time and space, the research
investigations on their analysis and control focus on considering the
whole system domain for any study. We feel strongly that within this
research field, an important consideration was missing; that of
considering that the system may give raise to prescribed subdomains
(regions) where one has to achieve an objective. This is the case of
so many applications ranging from engineering to life sciences. For
that reason, covering classical prerequisite in analysis and control
areas, we have devoted the book to the extension of the classical
distributed parameter results to regional ones.
This book may be used by graduate students in mathematics,
engineering, physics, and even by students from other fields such as
life or environmental sciences. This book may also be used as an
information source for researchers and education professionals. We
assume that the readers already know the basic concepts of analysis
and control of distributed parameter systems.

Subject: Barnes-Hut Tree Codes, Switzerland, Mar 2012
Workshop on "Exploiting Modern High Performance Architectures with
Barnes-Hut Tree Codes", Univ of Lugano (Switzerland), March 20, 2012
Despite rapid development in supercomputer performance over the last
three decades, solving the N-body problem with direct summation and
O(N^2) complexity is and will be unfeasible for real-life
applications. Since hardware acceleration and/or parallelism can
postpone but never remove the bottleneck implied by such an
algorithmic complexity, much attention has been devoted to rapid
summation techniques such as the Barnes-Hut tree code. In this
workshop, we present and discuss new ideas aiming at the full
exploitation of modern and upcoming high performance architectures.

- Paul Gibbon, Jülich Supercomputing Centre, PEPC group
- Tom Quinn, University of Washington, ChaNGa group

Subject: DUNE Spring Course, Germany, Mar 2012
The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE) is a software
framework for the numerical solution of partial differential equations
with grid-based methods. Using generic programming techniques it
strives for both high flexibility (efficiency of the programmer) and
high performance (efficiency of the program). DUNE provides, among
other things, a large variety of local mesh refinement techniques, a
scalable parallel programming model, an ample collection of finite
element methods and efficient linear solvers.
This one week course will provide an dense introduction to the most
important DUNE modules. At the end the attendees will have a solid
knowledge of a typical simulation workflow from mesh generation and
implementation of finite element and finite volume methods to
visualization of computed results. Successful participation requires
knowledge of object-oriented programming using C++ including generic
programming with templates. A solid background on numerical methods
for the solution of PDEs is expected.
Up to now there are some places left, feel free to register for this
introductionary course with practical exercises from both academia as
well as R&D.
Registration deadline: Sunday February 26 2012
Dates: March 19 2012 - March 23 2012

Subject: Postdoc Position, United Arab Emirates Univ
One position is available for full time Post-Doctorate in the project
”Delay Differential Models in immunology and Infection Diseases in an
Individual”.
The duration of the project is 24 months. Many mathematical models
related to bioscience problems are governed by differential equations
that depend in part on the history rather than only the current
state. Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) are qualitatively and
quantitatively consistent with the phenomena mentioned above. They
also have rich mathematical framework compared with ordinary
differential equations. Our central concern is to investigate the
role of delay differential equations that plays in modelling immune
system and the infection diseases interactions. The research in this
project is focused on immunological dynamics for bacterial infections
and transmission of the diseases in humans. The research has three
directions: (i) To develop some mathematical models to represent the
dynamics of E.coli and Salmonella bacterial growth in a host; (ii) To
study interactions of antigens and immune system in an infected person
by a viral or bacterial disease; (iii) To find a best-fit mathematical
model that provides an accurate approximation to the observed (or
experimental) data. The models will be based on a wide range of delay
differential models.
Duties of the researcher: Collect available data related to Ecoli and
Salmonella bacterial infections, fit the data to the existing ODEs and
DDEs models and study sensitivity analysis and qualitative behavior of
the models.
Qualification: The applicant should have a PhD in
Mathematics. Familiar with Matlab and Fortran. Experience in
mathematical modelling, numerical treatments of ODEs and DDEs, and
parameter estimations with given real data and differential models.
Salaries and benefits will be granted according to the UAE University
regulations.
