Subject: ScalFMM, New Release 1.2.1
We are pleased to announce the release 1.2.1, as an open-source
software, of ScalFMM.
ScalFMM is a scalable kernel independent fast multipole method. The
design of the library separates the FMM-core (octree management, data
structure, parallelism, ...) and the kernels that allow you to easily
introduce new kernel. We provide as well as a kernel independent
method based on Chebyhev interpolation and different implementations
for Poisson kernel (spherical expansion with rotation and BLAS
optimizations). The library offers shared memory (OpenMP) and hybrid
distributed/shared memory (MPI/OpenMP) parallelization.
The project Home page is http://scalfmm-public.gforge.inria.fr where
instructions for obtaining the source code are provided. Installation
instructions and a User Guide are also available.
Contributions and feedback from users are welcome.

html
This event builds upon a very successful series of previous
conferences. From the first event held in Bath in 1985 to the most
recent one held in Birmingham in 2012 as successful as its
predecessors, the organising committee is delighted to announce the
10th IMA International Conference on Mathematics in Signal Processing
to be held 15 – 17 December, 2014.
Signal processing constitutes an important area for the application of
mathematical concepts and techniques fuelled, for example, by
developments in mobile communications, networks, multimedia system,
genomics and bioengineering, neural signal processing, and big data
processing. The subject is still advancing rapidly in areas such as
non-linear signal processing and systems, compressive sampling,
digital communication systems, iterative estimation, blind
deconvolution/signal separation, broadband systems, compressed sensing
and novel sampling schemes. The aim of the conference is to bring
together mathematicians, statisticians and engineers with a view to
exploring recent developments and identifying fruitful avenues for
further research. It is hoped that the meeting will help to attract
more mathematicians into this important and challenging field.

Subject: Hierarchical matrices, Germany, Mar 2015
Winter school on Hierarchical matrices
Date: March 2nd to 6th, 2015
Place: RWTH Aachen, Templergraben 55, Aachen
Registration: starts immediately
Speakers: Wolfgang Hackbusch, Lars Grasedyck, Steffen Börm
Website: http://www.igpm.rwth-aachen.de/winterschool
Hierarchical matrix techniques can be used to treat dense matrices
efficiently. Applications include
- the construction of preconditioners for elliptic PDEs,
- the discretization of integral operators,
- the evaluation of matrix functions and
- the approximation of solutions of matrix equations.
The key idea is to use a data-sparse representation of the dense
matrix and perform operations like the matrix-vector multiplication,
matrix multiplication, factorization or inversion preserving this
representation.
The winter school consists of lectures and exercises. The lectures
present the fundamental concepts of hierarchical matrices, e.g.,
compression techniques and algorithms for algebraic operations. The
exercises offer participants the opportunity to experience
hierarchical matrices in a number of applications, e.g., by
constructing an approximation of an integral equation or a
preconditioner for an elliptic PDE.

Topical Workshop: Computational Geometric Topology in Arrangement
Theory (July 6-10, 2015)
http://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw15-4-cgtat/
This workshop will bring together mathematicians working on
combinatorial, geometric and topological properties of
arrangements. In addition to fundamental open problems in the area, we
will emphasize connections to tropical geometry, configuration spaces,
and applications (coding theory, statistical eco-nomics, topological
robotics), building bridges between those working on different aspects
of the area. The main aim of the workshop is to discuss computational
issues that arise in studying topological and combinatorial invariants
of arrangements.
The workshop will be comprised of two main activities: A series of
short courses by leading experts and research or expository talks. The
short courses will be aimed at a broad audience; in particular they
will be appropriate for advanced graduate students and early career
mathematicians. In addition to theory, talks will highlight
computational aspects of the problems, and the state of the art on the
main open conjectures in the field. We will also have a pair of
research talks each afternoon.
Application review begins on March 9th, 2015.

Numerical Methods for Large-Scale Nonlinear Problems and Their
Applications (August 31 - September 4, 2015)
http://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw15-5-nmlnp/
Over the last 20 years or so, Newton-Krylov methods have developed to
maturity, allowing effective fully-coupled treatment of a broad range
of large-scale nonlinear problems. This development has set the stage
for addressing more difficult problems with more challenging
features. Additionally, applications for which state-of-the-art
Newton-Krylov approaches are inapplicable have recently exposed
several basic research questions. At the same time, there remain many
problem-specific methods and legacy codes that are still useful and
can be regarded as a resource for further development.
This workshop will include mathematicians and computer scientists who
work on algorithm design, implementation, and analysis, together with
disciplinary scientists and engineers who use the algorithms in
applications and have a working knowledge of their capabilities,
weaknesses, and limitations. The major foci of the workshop will be
acceleration methods, in particular Anderson acceleration; methods for
nonlinear problems that have significant stochastic aspects; methods
for nonsmooth problems; and various techniques for improving
robustness, such as nonlinear preconditioning.
