Subject: LA Software Survey of Freely Available Software to be Updated


We are planning to update the survey of freely available software for
the solution of linear algebra problems. The current version of the
survey can be found at: http://bit.ly/la-sw-survey-2021

The aim is to put in "one place" the source code that is freely
available for solving problems in numerical linear algebra,
specifically dense, sparse direct and iterative systems and sparse
iterative eigenvalue problems. Please send Dalal Sukkari
sukkari@icl.utk.edu updates and corrections. We will post a note on
the na-digest when the new list is available.

Thanks,
Jack Dongarra and Dalal Sukkari

Subject: New Book, Constructive Fractional Analysis with Applications


George A. Anastassiou
Constructive Fractional Analysis with Applications, SPRINGER 2021
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-71481-9

Constructive and Computational Fractional Analysis recently are more
and more in the center of mathematics because their great applications
in the real world. In this monograph all presented is original work by
the author given at a very general level to cover a maximum number of
cases in various applications. The author applies generalized
fractional differentiation techniques of Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and
Canavati types and of fractional variable order to various kinds of
inequalities such as of Opial, Hardy, Hilbert-Pachpatte and on the
spherical shell. He continues with E. R. Love left and right sides
fractional integral inequalities. They follow fractional Landau
inequalities, of left and right sides, univariate and multivariate,
including ones for Semigroups.These are developed to all possible
directions and right side multivariate fractional Taylor formulae are
proven for the purpose. It continues with several Gronwall fractional
inequalities of variable order. The last part of book includes
constructive approximation theory, it presents: ordinary and
fractional approximations by positive sublinear operators, and high
order approximation by multivariate generalized Picard,
Gauss-Weierstrass, Poisson-Cauchy and Trigonometric singular
integrals. This book results are expected to find applications in many
areas of pure and applied mathematics. As such this monograph is
suitable for researchers, graduate students, and seminars of the above
disciplines, also to be in all science and engineering libraries.

https://ima.org.uk/16590/ima-mathematics-2021-online-series-week-two/

For a number of years, the IMA has been running a series of
conferences to promote mathematics with the aim of demonstrating to
both mathematicians and non-mathematicians the many uses of modern
mathematics. Following last summer's very successful IMA
Mathematics 2020 series collaboration with the Newton Gateway to
Mathematics, we are pleased to announce two events for 2021 taking
place this May. The first talk at the 6 May event will be from Nick
Higham who has been awarded the Gold Medal award in recognition of
outstanding contributions to mathematics and its applications. This
will be followed by Jane Leeks and David Abrahams discussing future
developments in mathematical sciences knowledge exchange. (See the
event page for further details) On Tuesday 25 May, we will have two
talks which feature the work of V-KEMS (Virtual Forum for Knowledge
Exchange in Mathematical Sciences). Presentations will feature the
work of two very successful virtual study groups, which ran in the
earlier this year, on Reducing the Risk of Covid-10 Transmission on
Trains and Modelling Solutions to the Impact of COVID-19 on
Cardiovascular Waiting Lists. (See the event page for further
details).

Registration for both weeks is currently open at
https://my.ima.org.uk/. Registration closes on 3 May for Week One and
21 May for Week Two.

within the minisymposium. You can indicate one talk as a 50 minute
keynote talk, all remaining talks will be 25 minute
talks. Minisymposia may be held in English or German.

The scientific committee will decide on the minisymposia. To apply
for a minisymposium send an email to dmv-oemg-2021@uni-passau.de .
