Subject: Software Release: emgr 5.3


Version 5.3 of emgr - EMpirical GRamian framework - has been released.

In system theory and control engineering the system Gramian matrices
of linear input-output systems have wide-spread use, for example:
model reduction, decentralized control, optimal placement or
sensitivity analysis. Empirical Gramian matrices correspond to the
linear system Gramians, but extend to parametric and nonlinear systems
due to their data-driven computation. The empirical Gramian framework
is an open-source Matlab toolbox, compatible with Octave and MATLAB,
which enables the computation of the following empirical system
Gramians:

- Empirical controllability Gramian
- Empirical observability Gramian
- Empirical cross Gramian
- Empirical linear cross Gramian (fast variant for linear systems)
- Empirical sensitivity Gramian (controllability of state and
parameters)
- Empirical identifiability Gramian (observability of state and
parameters)
- Empirical joint Gramian (observability of parameters and minimality
of state)

Subject: New Book, Computing Highly Oscillatory Integrals


Computing Highly Oscillatory Integrals
Alfredo Deano, Daan Huybrechs, and Arieh Iserles
x + 180 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611975-11-6 / List Price $79.00
/ SIAM Member Price $55.30 / Order Code OT155

Highly oscillatory phenomena range across numerous areas in science
and engineering and their computation represents a difficult
challenge. A case in point is integrals of rapidly oscillating
functions in one or more variables. The quadrature of such integrals
has been historically considered very demanding. Research in the past
15 years (in which the authors played a major role) resulted in a
range of very effective and affordable algorithms for highly
oscillatory quadrature. This is the only monograph bringing together
the new body of ideas in this area in its entirety.

The text is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students,
as well as applied mathematicians, scientists, and engineers who
encounter highly oscillatory integrals as a critical difficulty in
their computations.

Subject: New Book, Elementary Numerical Analysis: An Algorithmic Approach


Elementary Numerical Analysis: An Algorithmic Approach (Updated with
MATLAB), S. D. Conte and Carl de Boor
xxiv + 456 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611975-19-2 / List Price
$76.00 / SIAM Member Price $53.20 / Order Code CL78

This book provides a thorough and careful introduction to the theory
and practice of scientific computing at an elementary, yet rigorous,
level, from theory via examples and algorithms to computer
programs. The original FORTRAN programs have been rewritten in MATLAB
and now appear in a new appendix and online, offering a modernized
version of this classic reference for basic numerical algorithms.

The intended audience is upper-division undergraduates in engineering,
mathematics, and the sciences, including computer science. The book
has served well as a text book.

3. First-order scalar nonlinear ODEs; 4. Second-order equations and
damped oscillations; 5. Boundary-value problems; 6. Eigenvalues of

Subject: New Book, Fundamentals of Numerical Computation


Fundamentals of Numerical Computation
Tobin A. Driscoll and Richard J. Braun
xxx + 553 pages / Hardcover / ISBN 978-1-611975-07-9 / List Price
$104.00 / SIAM Member Price $72.80 / OT154

This is an advanced undergraduate-level introduction to the
mathematics and use of algorithms for the fundamental problems of
numerical computation: linear algebra, finding roots, approximating
data and functions, and solving differential equations. The book is
organized with simpler methods in the first half and more advanced
methods in the second half, allowing use for either a single course or
a sequence of two courses. The authors take readers from basic to
advanced methods, illustrating them with over 200 self-contained
MATLAB functions and examples designed for those with no prior MATLAB
experience. Although the text provides many examples, exercises, and
illustrations, the aim of the authors is not to provide a cookbook per
se, but rather an exploration of the principles of cooking.

Professors Driscoll and Braun have developed an online resource that
includes well-tested materials related to every chapter. Among these
materials are lecture-related slides and videos, ideas for student
projects, laboratory exercises, computational examples and scripts,
and all the functions presented in the book.
