Subject: Compressed versus Uncompressed Files
I have received several complaints from people who do not have access to the
programs uncompress or zcat on their systems. Since I have been compressing
files as they come in (unless they already are compressed), I would like to
hear from people who cannot unpack these files. If enough people cannot deal
with the files, I will have to uncompress the files (or put both versions
out).

Subject: Call for Papers
This is a reminder that when you complete a multigrid paper, you can download
a copy to the repository faster than you can submit it for publication. There
ought to be a number of such papers just completed or about to be completed
since the papers for the Second Copper Mountain Iterative Meeting last month
are due at SIAM on May 15th.
For example, on a UNIX machine,
% ftp casper.cs.yale.edu => Initiate connection
User: anonymous => You type anonymous
Password: a => You type a (or your login name)
ftp> cd incoming => Change to the incoming directory
ftp> mkdir your_name => Make a directory for yourself
ftp> cd your_name => Change to your directory
ftp> hash => Print # symbols during transfers
ftp> put paper.abs => Put an abstract file (ascii, please)
ftp> binary => Binary transfer
ftp> put paper.dvi => Put the paper in some format
ftp> quit => All done
I keep the following entry in my .netrc file in my home directory:
machine casper.cs.yale.edu login anonymous password bells@watson.ibm.com
Then when I issue the ftp command, I can skip the user and password part of
the above.

I have just finished a code implementing "Balancing Domain Decomposition" that
I would like to inflict on the innocent public. It now works for sure on
SUN's and IBM RS6000's...

From: Piet Wesseling (NW)
Subject: tutorial multigrid software
I would like to put the file mglab.tar.Z in the multigrid network repository.
It contains the following read.me file, which should tell you enough.
MGLAB.FOR is a tutorial multigrid program. It solves elliptic boundary values
in one dimension. The user may choose various multigrid cycles, transfer
operators, smoothing methods, and nested iteration end defect correction.
Cell-centered and vertex-centered discretization and multigrid is included.
Documentation is included in the program. The program is written in portable
FORTRAN-77, and has run on MS-DOS PC's and Unix mainframes. The methods used
are fully described in the following book: An Introduction to Multigrid
Methods, Wiley, Chichester, 1992 by P. Wesseling.
MGLAB.FOR is the FORTRAN source of the tutorial multigrid program.
MGLAB.DAT is an example of an input file.
MGLAB.RES is the corresponding output.
Editor's Note: This is in the file wesseling/mglab.tar.Z now.

I've downloaded my paper
On The Multilevel Adaptive Iterative Method
to the mgnet repository. There is a file
mlai.abstract
containing the abstract, and a file
mlai.dvi.Z
containing the paper in compressed dvi format. This is the same paper that
has appeared in the preliminary proceedings of the 2nd Copper Mt. Conference
on Iterative Methods.

ABSTRACT
The core of the multilevel adaptive iterative method consists of a relaxation
scheme and an active set strategy. The active set is used to monitor where
the iteration efficiently reduces the error. It is incrementally updated
exploiting the current solution and the matrix structure. Arithmetic
operations are restricted to the active set. The concept can be extended to a
multilevel structure by additionally tracing the dependencies between unknowns
on different levels. It improves the robustness and efficiency of classical
multilevel methods; in particular it is an almost ideal supplement of adaptive
refinement techniques.
Keywords:
Sparse matrices, iterative methods, multilevel methods, adaptivity.
