We are proud to announce the
V International Workshop on Accurate Solution of Eigenvalue Problems
In cooperation with SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra (SIAG/LA)
June 28th - July 1st, 2004, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany

Organizers:

Jesse Barlow, The Pennsylvania State University, [e-mail]
Ivan Slapnicar, University of Split, Croatia, [e-mail]
Kresimir Veselic (local manager), Fernuniversität Hagen, Germany, [email, workshop relevant, personal ]

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts on accuracy issues in the numerical solution of eigenvalue problems. Contributions on neighbouring topics of Matrix Analysis and Computation are also welcome, in fact, our rather narrow conference title has proved to be a good amalgam for various related research fields.

This is the fifth in a series of workshops on the same topic ( Split 1996, Penn State 1998, Hagen 2000, Split 2002). The reports on these workshops written by Beresford Parlett were published in SIAM News ( October 1996, March 1999, February 2001, December 2002 ).

The workshop will have similar format as its predecessors: there will be no parallel sessions; research presentations will be 30 to 40 minutes each, with sufficient time for discussions. Specially titled discussion/working groups and a poster session will also be organized. The posters will be permanently exhibited in the Conference Room.

The tentative list of invited speakers includes:

Chris Beattie, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg,
James Demmel, University of California at Berkeley,
Zlatko Drmac, University of Zagreb,
Sergei Godunov, Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Novosibirsk,
Ming Gu, University of California at Berkeley,
Nick Higham, University of Manchester,
Ilse Ipsen, North Carolina State University,
Volker Mehrmann, Technische Universität Berlin,
Beresford Parlett, University of California at Berkeley,
Axel Ruhe, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Stockholm,
Sigfried Rump, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg,
Hubert Schwetlick, Technische Universität Dresden,
David Watkins, Washington State University,

Linear Algebra and Its Applications has published a special issue (LAA Vol. 309, April 2000) connected with IWASEP II at Penn State and IWASEP III in Hagen (LAA Vol. 358, 2002). A special issue in connection with IWASEP IV is planned (see the announcement).

Important remark: Immediately after the end of the workshop another, closely related, conference follows up ( July 2nd - 4th) on the same premises:

GAMM Meeting on Applied and Numerical Linear algebra entitled:
Applied and Numerical Linear Algebra
with special emphasis on Linear Algebra for Systems and Control Theory.
Organizer: Volker Mehrmann, TU Berlin

Thus, you might want to combine to attend both conferences in one tour.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Hagen!
