CONTRIBUTED ANNOUNCEMENT:

SUBJECT: IMA Special Year

=========================================================================
                      Applied Linear Algebra Year
          Institute for Mathematics and its Applications(IMA)
                        University of Minnesota
     
     
     
         The Board of Governors of the IMA has approved a program on
         Applied Linear Algebra for the year 1991-1992. The program is
         under the organization of: Richard A. Brualdi, George
         Cybenko, Alan George, Gene Golub, and Paul van Dooren. The
         plans are to focus the program on three themes as indicated
         below:
     
         Fall quarter: DISCRETE MATRIX ANALYSIS, with emphasis on the
         mathematical analysis of sparse matrices and combinatorial
         structure;
     
         Winter quarter: MATRIX COMPUTATIONS, with special emphasis on
         iterative methods for solving systems of linear equations and
         computing the eigenvalues of sparse, possibly structured
         matrices;
     
         Spring quarter: SIGNAL PROCESSING, SYSTEMS AND CONTROL, with
         emphasis on the matrix analysis and computations that arise
         in this area of application.
     
         We expect there to be considerable fluidity between the
         various parts of the program, which is still evolving.
     
         The following workshops are being planned:
     
         Fall quarter: (1) Sparse Matrices,
                       (2) Combinatorial and Qualitative Matrix
                           Analysis
     
         Winter quarter: (1) Iterative Methods for Dense Problems,
                         (2) Markov Chains, Networking, and Queuing.
     
         Spring quarter: (1) Signal Processing Applications of Linear
                             Algebra,
                         (2) Systems and Control Applications of
                             Linear Algebra.
     
         In addition we expect that there will be opportunities for
         minisymposia on other special topics of interest in linear
         algebra and its applications. To a considerable extent the
         activity at any time during the year will be influenced by
         the interests of the people in residence then at the IMA.
         ( At non-workshop periods this has been averaging for past
         programs to be 30-35.) Specialized seminars on topics in both
         core and applied linear algebra will be held throughout the
         year.  It is anticipated that twelve postdoctoral fellowships
         will be awarded for the year 1991-1992. In addition there
         will be a very limited amount of money available for senior
         people who will spend one or more quarters at the IMA with
         preference given to persons with sabbatical leaves,
         fellowships or other stipends. This does not include money
         available for expenses for those invited to be in residence
         for one month or less, in particular for workshop
         participants.
     
     
         The organizers believe that 1991-1992 will be an exciting
         time at the IMA for linear algebraists. We encourage people
         who have sabbaticals coming up to consider spending that
         sabbatical at the IMA in 1991-1992.
