I am hoping to find a 3-D stationary Navier-Stokes solver for

I'm solving some moderate size banded Ax=b
problems (say 4500 rows, bandwidth 250) and I'd like to run them on a
multiple processor shared-memory machine, say a Sun with 4 or 8
processors, not a massively parallel machine. I would increase my size
with a faster solver.
Any pointers to a solver that would help me out?
Please email replys to me directly.

Subject: Software Sought for Meshing in 3D
Can anyone help me with public domain software for dividing a set V
in 3D space into tetrahedra (or other convenient elements) ?
One may assume that the set V is closed, bounded and connected, but
not necessarily singly connected (so, there can be holes in V).
In fact, the boundary of V consists of a finite number of triangles.
The tetrahedral mesh to be generated should be consistent with these
boundary triangles.
Please contact me if you have (or know of) such a code.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCMENT
Title: Numerical Integration IV
(Proceedings of the Conference at the
Mathematical Research Institute,
Oberwolfach, November 8-14, 1992),
(Internat. Ser. Numer. Math., vol. 112)
Editors: H. Brass, G. Haemmerlin
Publisher: Birkhaeuser Verlag
ISBN: 3-7643-2922-X (Basel...)
0-8176-2922-X (Boston)
===============
From the preface: 'After the conferences in 1978, 1981 and 1987
(Proceedings in ISNM 45, 57, 85), a fourth symposium on numerical
integration was held at Oberwolfach November 8-14, 1992. 46
mathematicians from 16 countries participated. This volume contains
27 refereed papers presented at the conference.
Algorithms for the numerical computation of definite integrals
have been proposed for more than 300 years, but practical consi-
derations have lead to problems of ever increasing complexity, so
that, even with current computing speeds, numerical integration may
be a difficult task. High dimension and complicated structure of
the region of integration and singularities of the integrand are
the main sources of difficulties.
The construction of new rules was therefore a central theme of
the conference. Another line of reasearch attempts to study the set
of all rules of a class with regard to the error or another charac-
teristic. The theory of information-based complexity introduced new
concepts and results into the discussion. The widening of the notion
of optimality to the average case setting seems to be of great in-
terest. As it has been the case in the former conferences, the
Gaussian rule and its relatives have continued to be important ob-
jects of the study.
Many open problems were discussed in Oberwolfach, showing live-
liness and actuality of the theory, nine of these problems could be
given precise formulations; they are collected at the end of this
volume.'

Subject: Block Elimination Codes Available
Mixed Block Elimination Codes available through NETLIB
The problem
In many computational problems linear systems with coefficient
matrix in block form
( A B )
M = ( )
( C^T D )
arise naturally. Here A is a large square matrix ( n by n )
and matrices B, C, D comprise a border whose width m is
much smaller ( m << n).
Often solvers for A and A^T are relatively easy to construct
because of the structure or sparsity type of A (symmetric,
banded,sparse,...). One wants to use these solvers to solve
linear systems with M and M^T. This can be done by
block elimination in several ways; unfortunately stability
is usually lost in the process. The critical case is when
A is nearly singular but M is reasonably well - conditioned.
The BEMW code
A collection of Fortran subroutines helps remedy this situation.
It is called BEMW (Block Elimation Mixed for Wider borders) by
its authors W. Govaerts (University of Gent, Belgium) and
J. D. Pryce (Royal Military College of Science, England).It
is a reverse communication code of modest size : less than
16Kb including an example program, full documentation and
3 BLAS core subroutines. For simplicity the driver program
is a trivial example (n=m=2) but the code is known to work
well for large discretized boundary value problems with
nearly singular A.
Availability
The codes are contained in the Unix shar file
linalg/bemw.shar distributed through netlib from where it
can be obtained by ftp, e-mail or xnetlib in the
usual way. This file contains real, double precision
and complex versions of BEMW and a special
version for real symmetric M.
What the user should know
The calling program has to provide solvers for both A and
A^T. The BEMW routines do not care about them, as long
as they are stable in the usual backward sense. The
elements of A are not referred to. The matrices B, C, D
have to be stored in a specific but natural way. The
BEMW routines will then solve systems with M and M^T
also in a backward stable way, even for very
ill - conditioned A.
Theoretical foundation
Theory and numerical examples are given by W. Govaerts
(Stable solvers and block elimination for bordered
systems, SIAM J. matrix anal. appl. 12 (1991) 469 - 483)
and W. Govaerts and J. D. Pryce (Mixed block elimination
for linear systems with wider borders, IMA J. Numer.
Anal. 13 (1993) 161 - 180). Further tests in a dynamical
systems context are given by W. Govaerts (Solution of
bordered singular systems in numerical continuation and
bifurcation, to appear in J. Comput. Appl. Maths).
