                        LAST ANNOUNCEMENT FOR
      THE HOUSEHOLDER SYMPOSIUM XI MEETING ON NUMERICAL ALGEBRA

   The Householder Symposium XI on numerical  algebra  will  be  held
during the week of  June 18-22, 1990 at  Tylosand,  Halmstad  on  the
west coast of Sweden. This meeting  is  the  eleventh  in  a  series,
previously called the Gatlinburg Symposia.  It  has  been  agreed  to
rename  all  subsequent  Gatlinburg  Symposia  to  honor  Alston   S.
Householder, one of the pioneers  in  Numerical  Linear  Algebra  and
organizer of the first four Gatlinburg meetings. The  meeting  is  an
international  conference  of  experts  in  the  field  of  Numerical
Algebra. The format of the meeting is a sequence  of  invited  papers
during the day and special workshops organized by the participants in
the evening. There is no formal  program,  but  traditionally  a  few
topics are emphasized. For this meeting  they  will  be  large  scale
nonsymmetric linear  algebra  problems,  least  squares,  and  matrix
inertia and stability.

   The meeting is being organized by the  Householder  committee,  in
co-operation with the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra  and  the
International  Linear  Algebra  Society  (ILAS).   Chairman  of   the
committee for  this   meeting,   and   in   charge   of   the   local
organization is Ake Bjorck of Linkoping University, Sweden.

    The traditional format of the Householder Symposia requires  that
the attendance is  limited.  The  organizing  committee  invites  all
qualified persons to apply to attend. The application should  consist
of a vita and an extended abstract (about two pages) of a  paper  you
would present if invited to speak. The latter will  be  used  by  the
committee in planning the program. Material  should  be  sent  before
November 1, 1989 to

                    Ake Bjorck
                    Department of Mathematics
                    Linkoping University
                    S-581 83 Linkoping, SWEDEN

   The Gatlinburg Conferences  are  international  workshops  on  the
theoretical  and  numerical  aspects  of  linear  algebra   and   its
application. They were started by Alston S. Householder and initially
held at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, approximately once every three  years.
After the first four meetings it was decided to hold the  conferences
under the same name at varying locations. The custom  has  become  to
have every third meeting in Europe.  For  a  review  of  the  earlier
meetings see an article in SIAM Review [1977].  A  complete  list  of
previous meetings is given below:

I.   April    1961  Gatlinburg, Tennessee          A. S. Householder
II.  October  1963  Gatlinburg, Tennessee          F. Olver
III. April    1964  Gatlinburg, Tennessee          A. S. Householder
IV.  April    1969  Gatlinburg, Tennessee          A. S. Householder
V.   April    1972  Los Alamos, New Mexico         A. S. Householder
VI.  December 1974  Hopfen am See, Germany         F. L. Bauer
VII. December 1977  Asilomar, California           G. H. Golub
VIII.July     1981  Oxford, England                J. H. Wilkinson
IX.  July     1984  Waterloo, Canada               J. A. George
X.   October  1987  Fairfield Glades, Tennessee    G. W. Stewart

   The Gatlinburg meetings brings together  theoreticians,  numerical
analysts, and application researchers from all over the world. During
the day, there are lectures (no parallel sessions) by  people  judged
to be doing especially  interesting  work  in  their  areas.  In  the
evenings, the participants organize special sessions or  minisymposia
over areas of current interest. Traditionally the interaction is very
open and intense, and many  workers  attribute  some  of  their  best
results to ideas that originated  at  a  Gatlinburg  conference.  The
meetings have played an important part in the evolution of scientific
computing, and it is hard to overstate  the  role  these  conferences
have played in fostering and sustaining international cooperation  in
numerical algebra.

   Attendance at the Gatlinburg Conferences  is  by  invitation,  and
procedures have been  devised  that  hopefully  insure  that  a  fair
selection is made. It is anticipated  that  100-120  people  will  be
invited to the present meeting. Even though several open meetings are
held in linear algebra, these conferences are unique in that here the
best people in the field from all countries  have  a  chance  to  get
together and interact informally.

   Hotel Tylosand is situated by the sea on the west coast of Sweden.
The hotel has  recently  been  renovated  and  modernized  and  is  a
conference center of the best international class.  The  location  is
removed from any big cities and offers  excellent  opportunities  for
physical exercise. Room and buffet  breakfast  is  approximately  $65
single and $60 double occupancy. It is hoped that the meeting can  be
run with the same modest registration fee $50 as the previous meeting
at Fairfield Glades.
