Subject: Second release of VSDP, Verified SemiDefinite Programming

We are happy to announce the second release of VSDP (Version 2012).

VSDP is a software package that is designed for the computation of
verified results in conic programming. The current version of VSDP
supports the constraint cone consisting of the product of semidefinite
cones, second-order cones and the nonnegative orthant.

It provides functions for computing rigorous error bounds of the true
optimal value, verified enclosures of epsilon-optimal solutions, and
verified certificates of infeasibility. All rounding errors due to
floating point arithmetic are taken into account.

VSDP is completely written in MATLAB. It uses INTLAB, and thus
interval input data are supported as well. Via its interface, VSDP
provides an easy access to the conic solvers CSDP, SeDuMi, SDPA,
SDPT3, as well as LPSOLVE and LINPROG.

In the User's Guide we also present detailed numerical results for the
NETLIB LP library, SDPLIB, DIMACS and Kocvara's test library for
problems from structural optimization. Many of these test problems are
challenging real-world problems of large scale.

The software and the manual can be downloaded from
http://www.ti3.tu-harburg.de/jansson/vsdp/

Subject: DUNE PDELab Spring Course, Germany, Mar 2013

DUNE PDELab Spring Course, Heidelberg (Germany), March 11-15, 2013

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 introduction to the most
important DUNE modules and the PDELab finite element framework based
on DUNE. At the end the attendees will have a solid knowledge of the
simulation workflow from mesh generation and implementation of finite
element and finite volume methods to visualization of the
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.

Registration deadline: Sunday February 24 2013
Dates: March 11 2013 - March 15 2013

Course venue: Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing
University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 350/368 69120

Subject: Symposium on FPDE's, USA, Jun 2013

We are pleased to announce that the International Symposium on
Fractional PDE's: Theory, Numerics, and Applications will take place
on June 3-5, 2013 at the Salve Regina University, Newport, RI.

Fractional Partial Differential Equations (FPDEs) are emerging as a
powerful tool for modeling some of the most difficult types of complex
systems, i.e., systems with overlapping microscopic and macroscopic
scales, and systems with long-range time memory or long-range spatial
interactions. They offer a new way of accessing the mesoscale using
the continuum formulation and hence extending the continuum
description for multiscale modeling of viscoelastic materials, control
of autonomous vehicles, transitional and turbulent flows, wave
propagation in porous media, electric transmission lines, and speech
signals.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leaders in the
theory, numerical methods, and advanced applications of FPDEs to
highlight the current state of this important topic and point forward
to new developments.

A tentative list of speakers include D. Baleanu, K. Burrage, W. Chen,
Y. Chen, W. Deng, K. Diethelm, R. Gorenflo, E. Hanert, B. Henry,
S. Holm, F. Liu, F. Mainardi, W. McLean, M. Meerschaert, S. Momani,
