### How to Run MPI-3.0 in shared memory mode like OpenMP

I am parallelizing code to numerically solve a 5 Dimensional population balance model. Currently I have a very good MPICH2 parallelized code in FORTRAN but as we increase parameter values the arrays ...

### Sequential approach to solving coupled PDEs

I'm dealing with a coupled system of three transient, non-linear convection-diffusion equations. Let's just say to simplify the problem that they take the following form:  -\nabla\cdot(D_{1}(u_{2},...

### Comparing Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods for nonlinear iterations

It is well known that for certain linear systems Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iterative methods have the same convergence behavior, e.g. Stein-Rosenberg Theorem. I am wondering if similar results exist for ...

### Operator Splitting methods for DAEs

After doing some research, I've found that most of the literature on operator splitting methods (e.g. Strang Splitting, Fractional Step, etc.) are specifically designed for a standard problem type of ...

### Optimized open source BLAS / LAPACK package

I was wondering what is a more optimized open source BLAS/LAPACK package with respect to modern multi-core processors (Haswell and beyond). Is there any distribution that can attain performance close ...

### Fast Eigenvalue and SVD Solver for Structured Matrices

I am looking for a fast Eigenvalue and SVD solver for small dense structured matrices (Hankel and Toeplitz). I have searched for efficient implementations in libraries like MKL but I am not able to ...

### Benchmark problems for eigenvalue reordering algorithms sought

Every real matrix $A$ can be reduce to real Schur form $T = U^T A U$ using an orthogonal similiary transform $U$. Here the matrix $T$ is quasi-triangular form with 1 by 1 or 2 by 2 blocks on the main ...

### DG local equation, how to interpret mean-averaged test function

In the paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045782509003521, an HDG element-local equation is described on page 584 equation (4), with one of the equations taking the following ...

### Are there any standardized file formats for point group character tables?

Character tables are an important tool for symmetry analysis in many computational chemistry software packages. Are there any standardized file formats for point group character tables? This may seem ...

### Imbalance of variables in Mixing Newton's method and Linear solver for a Non-linear system

Problem Solving a non-linear system of equations. The number of variables is the same as the number of equations. When I fix a set of variables (say $\vec{y}$) and keep another set free (say \$\vec{...

### Fast Automatic Differentiation for numpy?

I would like to use automatic differentiation to calculate gradients to function written in numpy. I've come across a number of packages, including autograd tangent chainer But none of them seem ...

### Review of modern homotopy methods and practical techniques

I'm hoping someone can recommend recent literature concerning homotopy methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. Already by the time of Layne Watson's 1986 paper there were a lot of methods,...

### Eigenvalue with largest imaginary part

Iterative eigensolvers such as ARPACK, give the option to find a subset of the eigenvalues which have the largest imaginary part. My question is how do these algorithms work. As I understand it, ...
