A recent Ph.D. thesis should have been completed within the last year.
If you (or your student) qualifies, then you can get good publicity,
and help educate the numerical mathematics community, by submitting
a one paragraph abstract, along with the name of the student, associated
institution/department, advisor's name, and thesis approval date, to:
Thomas F. Coleman, SIGNUM Board Member

Subject: Submatrices with the Best-Bounded Inverse
SUBMATRICES WITH THE BEST-BOUNDED INVERSE
Lately I came across the next "pure linear algebra" problem.
Suppose we have r columns of an orthogonal matrix
of order n, that is, U is n-by-r and such that U^tr * U = I,
and we want to find an r-by-r submatrix in U which has
the best-bounded inverse.
In other words, let S denote the set of all U as above,
and M(U) the subset of all U's r-by-r submatrices. Let
t(r,n) = 1 / min_{U belongs to S} max_{P belongs to M(U)} s(P)
where s(P) means the minimum singular value of P.
What is a good upper bound for t(r,n)?
I can easily prove that t(r,n) is no greater than the square root
of C^r_n ( the number of r-combinations among n things ).
But I quess that there should be much better estimate like
t(r,n) .LE. n^{1/2}. (*)
We have had some numerical experiments, and saw that (*) was never
violated. Interesting, that we noticed that
t(2,n) .GT. (n-1)^{1/2}.
So a "nice" question arose of whether (*) holds or not.
Even the case r = 2 is not clear.
I will appreciate any advice.
Sincerely,
Evgenij Tyrtyshnikov (tee@adonis.ias.msk.su )

Subject: FTP Site at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Now available by anonymous ftp:
Internal reports and (p)reprints of the research group SISTA
(Signals, Identification, System Theory and Automation) of the
division ESAT (Electronics, Systems, Automation, Technology) of the
department of Electrical Engineering of the
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven (=Louvain), Belgium.
SISTA is the group of Prof. Joos Vandewalle and Prof. Bart De Moor,
and contains some 25 researchers working on topics in numerical linear
algebra, system identification, control system design, neural nets and
nonlinear systems.
1. Create an FTP connection from wherever you are to machine
"gate.esat.kuleuven.ac.be". The internet address of this machine is
134.58.56.20 , for those who need it.
2. Log in as user "anonymous" with your own e-mail address as password.
This is not because we want to monitor you, but because we like to know
when somebody is interested in our reports.
3. Change remote directory to "/pub/SISTA/<author>/reports", i.e. type:
cd /pub/SISTA/<author>/reports
where <author> is the name of the guy whose paper you are interested in.
Of course one can get a listing of the authors by typing:
ls /pub/SISTA
4. Get the report or (p)reprint you are interested in, typing:
get <report>
Here <report> is the name of the report, typically in the format
*.ps.Z (compressed Postscript). One can use the unix command 'uncompress'
to uncompress them.
A listing of the reports of <author> may be obtained by typing:
ls /pub/SISTA/<author>/reports
This directory also contains a file ABSTRACTS, where you find abstracts
and some other info on each report
Note:
The exact FTP commands you should use may depend on your local FTP program.
Remember to use the binary transfer mode for compressed files.
All of this is also contained in more detail in the file /pub/SISTA/README

position. The appointment is available in the fall of 1993. The successful
candidate will participate in the development of extensions to the theory of
variable-length signal processing in the context of Fourier and wavelet analyses
to achieve more powerful and flexible options for discrimination, detection,
speaker identification, anti-jamming, etc. Computational facilities are of the
highest caliber and are continually being expanded.
Minimum requirements are (1) U.S. citizenship; (2) a Ph.D. in electrical
engineering, mathematics, or computer science; and (3) knowledge of Fourier
analysis, wavelet analysis, and signal processing. Salary is commensurate

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at Manchester
Numerical Analysis Postdoctoral Position at Manchester
The Science and Engineering Research Council are funding a three
year Research Assistantship for a project titled
``Parallel Eigenvalue Computations''.
The successful applicant will join the Numerical Analysis group at the
University of Manchester, and will work closely with grant holder
N. J. Higham.
The aim of the project is to develop parallel algorithms
for the nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem.
Excellent computing facilities are available, including a MasPar
MP-110 in the Department of Mathematics, and a Kendall Square KSR1 in
the Centre for Novel Computing.
The appointment will be made at the RA 1A level, with a current
starting salary of 14,962 pounds sterling per annum.
The start date is no more than six months after 1st June 1993.
Applicants should hold, or expect to complete before the start date,
a PhD, and should have a strong background in numerical analysis
and linear algebra, preferably with parallel computing experience.
Applications and requests for further information should be sent
as soon as possible to
Dr N. J. Higham
