Professional Linux Programming, 1st edition
Authors: Neil Matthew, Richard Stones
Venue:  (2000)

:As Linux increases its presence throughout the world as a target platform for professional application development, its growth as a powerful, flexible system offering many free development tools assures its place in the future. By giving you easy access to this comprehensive range of tools, supporting new and nascent technologies, at little or no cost, developing with Linux allows you to apply the solution that's right for you. In this follow-up to the best-selling Beginning Linux Programming, you will learn from the authors' real-world knowledge and experience of developing software for Linux; you'll be taken through the development of a sample 'DVD Store' application, with 'theme' chapters addressing different aspects of its implementation. Meanwhile, individual 'take-a-break' chapters cover important topics that go beyond the bounds of the central theme. All focus on the practical aspects of programming, showing how crucial it is to choose the right tools for the job, use them as they should be used, and get things right first time. Who is this book for? Experienced Linux programmers and aspiring developers alike will find a great deal of practical information in this book on libraries, techniques, tools and applications. You should be familiar with a simple Linux system, have a good working knowledge of programming in C, and a basic understanding of object-oriented programming with C++ for the Qt/KDE chapters. What does this book cover? Data storage in Linux - including coverage of PostgreSQL, MySQL and XML Implementation of Linux GUIs - covering both KDE and GNOME Web-based interfaces - using the PHP module for Apache Python - including extending and embedding the language Using RPC and CORBA to construct distributed object-based applications Versioning (with CVS), documentation, internationalization and project distribution Distributed hardware solutions such as diskless Linux and Beowulf clustering Richard Stones and Neil Matthew are the authors of the first edition of Beginning Linux Programming. They are both experienced software professionals with many years' experience using and programming UNIX and Linux. They are also co-authors of the Wrox Press title, Instant UNIX. The other contributors are a multi-author Wrox writing team of professional developers.
Analysis of Finite Element Methods and Domain Decomposition Algorithms for a Fluid-Solid Interaction Problem
Authors: Xiaobing Feng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

This paper is concerned with the finite element Galerkin approximations for a fluid-solid interaction model proposed in [X. Feng, P. Lee, and Y. Wei, Appl. Anal., submitted]. Both continuous-time and discrete-time approximations are formulated and analyzed. Optimal order a priori estimates for the errors in $L^\infty(H^1)$ and $L^\infty(L^2)$ are derived. The main difficulty for the error estimates is caused by the interface conditions which describe the interaction between a fluid and a solid on their contact surface, and it is overcome by using a boundary duality argument of Douglas and Dupont [Numer. Math., 20 (1973), pp. 213--237] to handle the terms involving the interface conditions. Parallelizable domain decomposition algorithms are also proposed and analyzed for efficiently solving the finite element systems.

Moore--Penrose Inverse of Matrices on Idempotent Semirings
Authors: S. Pati
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

We characterize matrices over an idempotent semiring satisfying some additional necessary conditions for which the Moore--Penrose inverse exists. The "(max,&times;) semiring," defined as the set of nonnegative real numbers ${\mathbb R}^+,$ equipped with the operations $a\oplus b= \max\{a,b\}\ \mbox{and}\ a\otimes b= ab$ is an example of such a semiring. The "(max,&times;) semiring,"', defined as the set of real numbers including $-\ity,$ equipped with the operations $a\oplus b= \max\{a,b\}\ \mbox{and}\ a\otimes b= a+b$ is another example. Some of our results generalize known results in the case of the binary boolean algebra (a trivial idempotent semiring). We give an algorithm to compute the Moore--Penrose inverse, when it exists. We also make comparisons with similar results over the conventional algebra.

From Gene Trees to Species Trees
Authors: Bin Ma, Ming Li, Louxin Zhang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

This paper studies various algorithmic issues in reconstructing a species tree from gene trees under the duplication and the mutation cost model. This is a fundamental problem in computational molecular biology. Our main results are as follows. A linear time algorithm is presented for computing all the losses in duplications associated with the least common ancestor mapping from a gene tree to a species tree. This answers a problem raised recently by Eulenstein, Mirkin, and Vingron [J. Comput. Bio., 5 (1998), pp. 135--148]. The complexity of finding an optimal species tree from gene trees is studied. The problem is proved to be NP-hard for the duplication cost and for the mutation cost. Further, the concept of reconciled trees was introduced by Goodman et al. and formalized by Page for visualizing the relationship between gene and species trees. We show that constructing an optimal reconciled tree for gene trees is also NP-hard. Finally, we consider a general reconstruction problem and show it to be NP-hard even for the well-known nearest neighbor interchange distance. A new and efficiently computable metric is defined based on the duplication cost. We show that the problem of finding an optimal species tree from gene trees is NP-hard under this new metric but it can be approximated within factor 2 in polynomial time. Using this approximation result, we propose a heuristic method for finding a species tree from gene trees with uniquely labeled leaves under the duplication cost. Our experimental tests demonstrate that when the number of species is larger than 15 and gene trees are close to each other, our heuristic method is significantly better than the existing program in Page's GeneTree 1.0 that starts the search from a random tree.

:Macroeconomics increasingly uses stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models to understand theoretical and policy issues. Unless very strong assumptions are made, understanding the properties of particular models requires solving the model using a computer. This volume brings together leading contributors in the field who explain in detail how to implement the computational techniques needed to solve dynamic economics models. A broad spread of techniques are covered, and their application in a wide range of subjects discussed. The book provides the basics of a toolkit which researchers and graduate students can use to solve and analyse their own theoretical models.
A Primal-Dual Algorithm for Solving Polyhedral Conic Systems with a Finite-Precision Machine
Authors: Felipe Cucker, Javier Peña
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

We describe a primal-dual interior-point algorithm that determines which one of two alternative systems, [ Ax = 0, \quad x \geq 0, \] and \[ A\transp y \leq 0, \] is strictly feasible, provided that this pair of systems is well-posed. Furthermore, when the second system is strictly feasible, the algorithm returns a strict solution y; when the first system is strictly feasible, the algorithm returns a strict forward-approximate solution x. Here $A \in {\mathbb R}^{m\times n}$ is given. Our algorithm works with finite-precision arithmetic. The amount of precision required is adjusted as the algorithm progresses and remains bounded by a measure of well-posedness C(A) of the pair of systems of constraints. The algorithm halts in at most ${\cal O}((m+n)^{1/2}(\log(m+n)+\log(C(A))+|\log\gamma|))$ interior-point iterations, where $\gamma\in(0,1)$ is a parameter specifying the desired degree of accuracy of the forward-approximate solution for the first system. If the feasible system is the second one, the term $|\log\gamma|$ in the bound on the number of iterations can be dropped.
