Dear Colleagues:
Let me make a contribution to the preservation of our forests. In the
future, rather than sending out lots of (p)reprints of my papers blindly to many
people, I propose a different approach. Since almost all engineering and
science academics are meanwhile reachable by EMail, I'll simply post the
titles of recent papers on a few bulletin boards, and anyone who wishes to
receive a reprint of one or the other of these papers, can mark the list up and
EMail it back to me. I shall repeat this procedure once every dozen papers or
so. In this way, I can make sure that only those who are truly interested and
plan to read the articles receive (p)reprints.

Electronic Publication of "Toeplitz and Circulant Matrices: A Review"
A latex version of the Technical Report "Toeplitz and Circulant Matrices:
A Review," by R. M. Gray, first printed in June 1971 and revised and
reprinted in April 1977, may be obtained by anonymous ftp to
decaf.stanford.edu cd to the pub/toeplitz directory and read the README
file for a description. The report was an attempt to provide relatively
simple proofs asymptotic properties of Toeplitz matrices in terms of
circulant approximations. In particular, it was the author's intent to
make some of the results in Grenander and Szego's classic book on the
subject more accessible to engineers who have not had functional analysis.
As I continue to get requests for the now exhausted last printing, a
latex version has been made available to allow cost free distribution.
Some minor fixes were made in 4/93. I hope to do a more thorough
revision during the summer.

Call for benchmark examples in systems and control:
---------------------------------------------------
The Working Group on Software WGS, which consists of a number of experts in
both control theory, numerical analysis and software design from Belgian,
Dutch, English and German Universities, Research Institutes and Industry,
develops in cooperation with the Numerical Algorithms Group NAG from Oxford
a Subroutine Library In COntrol Theory, called SLICOT.
The original goal of the SLICOT endeavor is the realization of a portable
library of basic, high-quality routines for systems and control theory and
signal processing, particularly with respect to numerical reliability and
computational efficiency. The current release 2.0 includes about 90
user-callable Fortran 77 subroutines mainly for the analysis, synthesis and
design of linear time-invariant systems.
Since numerical robustness and efficiency are the basic requirements for all
contributions to future releases, the group is looking for good benchmark
examples for the evaluation and testing of numerical algorithms in this area.
We are particularly interested in examples which represent ill-conditioned
problems and examples which test the limits of the numerical methods with
respect to parameters like accuracy and speed.
Special areas of interest are the following:
Reduction to state space forms, minimal realization
Filtering problems
Riccati, Sylvester and Lyapunov equations
Pole placement problems
identification problems
variable coefficient problems
descriptor systems in control
robust control problems
adaptive control
These examples will be collected in a test set, which will be available on
request, and used for our testing purposes.
Examples in the form of FORTRAN subroutines, MATLAB m-files or hardcopy papers
are welcome. They should contain values for all used parameters as well as
a reference solution for which the accuracy is known.
The benchmark examples should be sent to :

Title: APPROXIMATE KALMAN FILTERING
Editor: Guanrong Chen, University of Houston, Texas, USA
Publisher: World Scientific Pub., ISBN 981-02-1359-X, $58, Summer 1993.
Abstract:
The standard Kalman filtering algorithm gives optimal (linear, unbiased and
minimum error-variance) estimates of the unknown state vectors of a linear
dynamic-observation system, under regular conditions such as perfect data
information, complete noise statistics, exact linear modeling, etc. In practice,
however, some of these conditions may not be satisfied, so that ``approximate
Kalman filtering'' becomes necessary. In the last decade, a great deal of
attention has been focused on modifying and/or extending the standard Kalman
filtering technique to handle various irregular cases. It has been realized that
approximate Kalman filtering is even more important and useful in applications.
This book is a collection of several tutorial and survey articles summarizing
the state-of-the-art development and recent contributions to the field, along
the line of approximate Kalman filtering with emphasis on both its theoretical
and practical aspects.

MARKOV CHAINS AND STOCHASTIC STABILITY
authors: Sean P. Meyn and Richard L. Tweedie
University of Illinois and Colorado State University
publisher: Springer Verlag
------------------------------ Back cover of the book:
This book describes the modern theory of general state space Markov
chains, and the application of that theory to operations research, time
series analysis, and systems and control theory. It is intended as an
advanced graduate text in any of these areas, as well as being a
research monograph incorporating a new and thorough treatment of the
stability of general Markov chains.
There are several key themes in this book which interweave to a
surprising extent in both the mathematics and its implementation.
There is the use of the splitting technique , which provides an
approach to general state space chains through regeneration methods;
the systematic use of ``Foster-Lyapunov'' drift criteria , both in
improving the theory and in enabling the classification of individual
chains; the delineation of appropriate continuity conditions to
link the general theory with the properties of chains on, in
particular, Euclidean space; and the development of control model
approaches, enabling analysis of models from their deterministic
counterparts.
The applications cover storage systems, including some networks models
as well as more traditional GI/G/1 queues and dam models; vector ARMA
models including those with random coefficients and bilinear models;
and both linear and non-linear state space systems with and without
controls.
To enhance accessibility, each chapter begins with a development of
countable state space chains if appropriate. The general state space
theory is then developed in close analogy, and where possible the
theory is then specialized to chains on a topological state space, such
as $\Re^n$, so that the special structure of such spaces can be
explored.
The book is divided into three parts. Chains which are
$\psi$-irreducible are the focus of this book, and it is in Part~I
that this class of chains is initially developed. Numerous
applications are described, and the foundations and basic
definitions are developed directly, and illustrated through these
applications.
In the second part a description of the possible stable regimes for a
Markov chain are described. The dichotomies which exist between
transience and recurrence are developed here, and positive recurrence
is described for general state space chains. Drift criteria are
introduced to enable practical verification of the various forms of
stability for specific models.
In Part~III existing and new ergodic theory is presented, and here the
drift criterion approach makes its full impact. Total variation norm
limit theorems, laws of large numbers, and functional central limit
theorems are obtained through the combined use of drift criteria
and splitting techniques.
Many of the theoretical results appear here for the first time, and
much of the theory and the models which are used to illustrate the
theory, and to provide extensions of the theory in special cases, have
not previously been brought together in book form.
This book thus provides a readable account of the development over the
last two decades of a fundamental and applicable area of stochastic
processes, and as such will be of value not only in probability theory
but in the many discplines where these models form the basis of
analysis.

* From the Back Cover:
Loop Transfer Recovery (LTR) theory is a subject dealing with the recovery,
while using only measurement feedback controllers, of target open-loop or
closed-loop transfer functions which incorporate all the desirable design
objectives in a multivariable control system. Consideration of when and
how such a recovery is possible, different controller structures and the
available design freedom and the design methods for accomplishing such a
recovery, are the main topics of discussion in LTR. This book deals with
all such issues in general continuous and discrete-time systems.

Call for Papers
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis
Scope:
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal
for the publication of significant new and important developments in numerical
analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with
the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical
linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that
discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for
current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are
numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the
algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent
State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational
Mathematics at Kent State University. Mathematical Reviews will receive all
papers accepted for publication in the journal and review them as appropriate.
ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613.
Dissemination:
On a quarterly basis, accepted manuscripts will be posted in a directory which
is publicly accessible through Internet. The titles and abstract of these
manuscripts will be e-mailed to registered departments and individuals and
posted on public bulletin boards such as NA-digest. An individual who wishes
to obtain a copy of a current or back manuscript can get a copy through
anonymous FTP or by using a netlib-type mailer. We also plan to install
Gopher. All manuscripts will be available in Post Script format. The first
issue of ETNA will appear September 1, 1993. Funds made available by the
Kent State University Library and the Kent State University make free
subscription possible for at least three years. After this time period we
may have to charge an annual fee from institutional subscribers. Since the
operating costs for the journal are low, we envision that this fee will not
be above $100 for institutional subscribers. Everybody at the subscribing
institution will have access to ETNA by FTP, a netlib-type mailer or Gopher.
In addition, articles in ETNA can be obtained through interlibrary loan from
Kent State University Library.
To register to receive ETNA's quarterly titles and abstract lists, please send
an e-mail message to etna@mcs.kent.edu. The subject of the message should be:
ETNA registration. Titles and abstracts of papers published in ETNA will be
e-mailed quarterly to the return addresses of all such requests. Inquiries for
further information should also be e-mailed to etna@mcs.kent.edu.
Submission, Acceptance and Refereeing:
Authors will normally submit papers for publication via e-mail, and they will
be required to submit their manuscript in LaTeX or TeX using macros we provide.
Requests for macros can be sent by e-mail to etna@mcs.kent.edu. All papers will
be refereed. As soon as a paper has been accepted for publication in ETNA, it
will be entered into the ETNA data base. There are no annual page limitations,
and, therefore, we are in a position to publish accepted manuscripts faster
than many other journal. Manuscripts can be submitted NOW by sending them to
the address etna@mcs.kent.edu.

Speakers' Breakfast
Speakers and session chairs and co-chairs are invited to
breakfast on the day of their session, from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. on
Thursday and Friday. All speakers should plan to attend because
session chairs use this opportunity to make final arrangements
for the sessions and to learn about the background of the
speakers.
Reception and Banquet
A dinner and reception will be held on Thursday evening,
August 26, 1993 in the Grand Ballroom. The reception begins at
6:30 p.m. in the adjoining Continental Room. A complimentary
ticket for one drink is included with your registration packet.
The banquet commences at 7:30 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom.
One banquet ticket is included with the regular registration
package; students' registration does not include banquet tickets.
Additional banquet tickets for accompanying persons and guests
should be purchased in advance, since only a limited number
may be available on-site. It is customary for the registrants who
do not plan to attend the banquet to leave their tickets at the
registration desk so students may use them.
