Subject: TDS-CONTROL, MATLAB Release


TDS-CONTROL is an integrated MATLAB package for the analysis and
control of linear time-delay systems. The package can deal with delay
systems of retarded and neutral type. These systems are assumed in
state-space form, although functionality is provided to convert a
transfer matrix representation. Firstly, the package offers various
methods to analyze LTI time-delay systems. More specifically, it
contains methods for computing the spectral abscissa, the H-infinity
norm, the pseudospectral abscissa, and the distance to instability. As
TDS-CONTROL is designed with neutral equations in mind, it has the
appealing feature that the sensitivity of certain quantities (such as
the spectral abscissa and H-infinity norm) with respect to
infinitesimal delay perturbations is explicitly taken into
account. Secondly, TDS-CONTROL contains functionality to design
fixed-order dynamic output feedback controllers for which the order of
the controller may be smaller than that of the plant. These
controller-design algorithms are based on optimizing the spectral
abscissa, the H-infinity norm or a combination of both. For example,
to design a (strongly) stabilizing controller the (strong) spectral
abscissa is minimized. Furthermore, structure can be imposed on the
controller, which enables the design of decentralized and PID
controllers. Finally, by allowing the plant to be described in delay
descriptor form (i.e. by delay differential-algebraic equations),
Pyragas-type, acceleration and delay-based feedback controllers can be
considered.

TDS-CONTROL has been written by P. Appeltans, under the supervision of
H. Silm and W. Michiels. The software is available from
https://gitlab.kuleuven.be/u0011378/tds-control

The manual has been conceived to provide also a tutorial on spectral
properties and control of time-delay systems, by means of 32 examples:

Subject: New Book, Algorithms for Sparse Linear Systems, Open Access


We are pleased to announce the publication of our new open access book

Algorithms for Sparse Linear Systems
by Jennifer Scott and Miroslav Tuma

Necas Center Series, Birkhauser Cham, April 2023
Softcover ISBN: 978-3-031-25819-0
eBook ISBN: 978-3-031-25820-6
Number of pages: XIX, 242
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-25820-6
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-25820-6

Large sparse linear systems of equations are ubiquitous in science,
engineering and beyond. This open access monograph focuses on
factorization algorithms for solving such systems. It presents
classical techniques for complete factorizations that are used in
sparse direct methods and discusses the computation of approximate
direct and inverse factorizations that are key to constructing
general-purpose algebraic preconditioners for iterative solvers. A
unified framework is used that emphasizes the underlying sparsity
structures and highlights the importance of understanding sparse
direct methods when developing algebraic preconditioners. Theoretical
results are complemented by sparse matrix algorithm outlines.

The book is aimed at students of applied mathematics and scientific
computing, as well as computational scientists and software developers
who are interested in understanding the theory and algorithms needed
to tackle sparse systems. It is assumed that the reader has completed
a basic course in linear algebra and numerical mathematics.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Sapienza Univ of Rome, Italy


The Department of Basic and Applied Sciences for Engineering at
Sapienza University of Rome is looking for a post-doctoral researcher
in numerical analysis. The project will focus on boundary integral
methods for Stokes flow.

In recent years, the boundary integral method (BIM) has proved itself
to be a valuable tool for the solution of many physical and
engineering problems. One of the main advantage of this approach is
that the equations are defined only at the boundary, which then plays
a key role. We are interested in those problems with large surface to
volume ratio, where the dynamic at the interface is very important and
it is then natural to consider integral equations. The project will
focus on how electric fields can affect the dynamics of drops: this
effect is studied with the Leaky Dielectric model, that we solve using
a BIM, that is also used to solve the Stokes equations. Special
attention will be spent for dealing with non-smooth surfaces.

We are please to announce that we are seeking strong postdoctoral
candidates for the project Krylov subspace methods for non-symmetric
PDE problems: a deeper understanding and faster convergence. The
positions will start as soon as possible after July 1, 2023. The
project concerns the solution of linear systems arising from the
numerical discretisation of partial differential equations (PDEs),
which are critical to simulations in a swathe of applications. The
methods of choice for these systems are often preconditioned Krylov
subspace methods, but for nonsymmetric problems theory for
preconditioners and solvers is still lacking. The overarching aim of
this research is to develop novel theory that underpins preconditioner
design and efficient solvers for systems with nonsymmetric coefficient
matrices. The investigators are Jennifer Pestana at the University of
Strathclyde (Glasgow) and Kirk M. Soodhalter at Trinity College,
Dublin. The project is funded by the UK Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland.

The postdoctoral researchers will have opportunities to work with a
range of international experts on fundamental problems in numerical
linear algebra, and will apply novel methods to applications in wave
problems and wind farms. The funding will support postdoctoral
research associates' travel to select conferences and visits to
related researchers so that the postdoctoral associates can benefit
from a wide array of knowledge and perspectives about the researched
topics, as well as for networking purposes. The funding will also
bring colleagues to both Strathclyde and Trinity for collaboration,
and it will further support two related workshops, one at Trinity and
one at Strathclyde.

One postdoctoral research associate will be appointed to work in each
of Strathclyde and Trinity College for three years each, with
substantial interaction and collaboration between the two groups. A
formal advertisement will be placed on www.jobs.ac.uk in the near
future.

If you are interested in one of these positions (or if you know
someone who may be interested) please contact Jennifer Pestana
([email protected]) Kirk M. Soodhalter
([email protected]) or pass this announcement on as appropriate.
