Subject: RE: c++ class for linear algebra

We use RogueWave's Math.h++ and Lapack.h++ and we are very
happy with them. They are commercial, of course. There is a
public version of Lapack from Oak Ridge but I believe they
are in the process of changing the interface. We used to use
the Oak Ridge version but decided to switch to a commercial
package for obvious reasons.

Hope that helps.

Hi, Robert,

versuch mal LAPACK++

        http://math.nist.gov/lapack++/

Sollte demn"achst aber von Template Numerical Toolkit ersetzt werden.

Sehr viel sch"oner f"ur die konkrete Arbeit sind nat"urlich die
NumericPython-Module, die ebenfalls LAPACK f"ur Matrixobjekte
wrappen. Infos unter:
        http://www.sls.lcs.mit.edu/jjh/numpy/

Das ganze ist in den MolecularModellingToolkit von Konrad Hinsen
integriert (http://starship.skyport.net/crew/hinsen/mmtk.html), so da"s
viele CompChem-Sachen schon vorliegen.

Cheers,

There is something called blitz++ -- but I've never used it.

It is well spoken of by those who have.

You may use the IMSL Library in FORTRAN 77.
You want to use the code written in c++. well OK !!

In Linux Sistem is the conver fortran-c f2c command that can help you to
pass tha routines in fortran to c or c++ I think.

The computer algebra program, Maple, can generate C code for any
desired operations.  Presumably, Mathematica will do the same.

Dear Dr Franke,

In response to your query we have a couple of suggestions which might be
useful.

The C++ Library of Efficient Datatypes and Algorithms (LEDA) is very good.
Its free within academia, and has a linear algebra class. The homepage
is:

http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/LEDA/

Also

NAG

http://www.nag.co.uk

NAG do not provide c++ classes but do sell libraries of FORTRAN and C
functions for a wide range of maths applications

          ---------------------------------------------
                       Summer School
                       ITQB, Oeiras, Portugal
                       June 15 to 27, 1998

This summer school is part of a program on "Spatio-temporal coherence in
the solid state and in living matter"  promoted by the Institute for
Scientific and Technological Advanced Studies- Portugal (ISTAS -
Portugal), and financed by the TMR programme of the European Community.

 - Scope: 

The phenomenon of energy transduction, that is, the manner in which energy
is stored, transported and used to perform work in biological systems, is
fundamental for the understanding of many biological processes. This
school will reflect the many approaches that can be used in order to study
energy transduction in biological systems. It will include lectures on the
biological detail of specific systems, as well as some of the experimental
techniques used in their study. 

Furthermore, theoretical frameworks will also be described, ranging from
the detail which can be obtained in molecular mechanics and molecular
dynamics simulations, to the identification of functional modes and the
hierarchies in biological organization. 

The level of presentation is appropriate for young post-docs and advanced
PhD students, interested in biology, who can have a variety of
backgrounds, such as biological, physical, chemical or mathematical.

- Topics

- Single molecule studies of muscle contraction - Energy transduction from
fluctuations and electromagnetic fields - Electron and proton transfer in
cytochrome c oxidase - Effects of long range interactions and
two-dimensional energy transfer - Proteins as quantum mechanical and
nonlinear machines - Effects of electron (ion) conformational interactions
on charge and
  energy transport in biological systems - Proton migration and energy
transduction in proton pumps - Energy transduction by Photosytem Two: a
balance of regulation and
  efficiency - Acid-base reactions as driving-force in metabolism, ATP
synthases and
  ion-motive ATPases - Dynamical hierarchies in biological function -
Coherent control of chemical reactions: applications to photosynthetic
  centers - Molecular ratchets in nonequilibrium statistical environments
- Electroconformational coupling and biological energy transduction - The
Lipid bilayer as a modulator of protein function - The Redox-Bohr effect:
a model for energy transduction mechanisms

Subject: QCISD energy lower than QCISD(T) energy!
Cc: Anthony.Scott@anu.edu.au




We recently have such a case. The molecule in question is CaO. Both G94,
molpro96 and ACES2 agree on this, although the molpro results are different
>from the G94 and ACES2. (we are investigating this still).

The basis used is 6-311+G(3df,2p).

When the 6-311G** or 6-311+G** basis is used the QCISD energy is lower than
the QCISD(T) energy as I would normally have expected.

Can someone shed some light on this strange result. Is such a result even
physically meaningful? and if so what exactly does it mean?

A possible reason is linear dependency in the large basis set, however for
BeO and Ca(OH)2 such a strange thing does not happen.

Thanks for your help.

My favorite C programming book is "C Programming:  A Modern Approach" by
K.N. King.  Below is a review I wrote for J. Chem. Inf. Computer Sci.  Hope
this is helpful.

Eric Walters

---------

C Programming.  A Modern Approach.  By K.N. King.  W.W. Norton & Company:
New York.  1996.  661 pp.  $39.95.  ISBN 0-393-96945-2.

	Changing one's programming language is a little like changing one's
religious convictions--not something to be done on a whim.  A few years
ago, I decided to switch from Fortran (which I had used for over 20 years)
to C.  I purchased about a dozen different books purporting to explain how
to use the C language.  Most were densely unreadable, few had a usable
index, and some were riddled with errors.  The learning curve was
unnecessarily steep.
	Now comes the book I really wanted, by Prof. Kim King of Georgia
State University.  It is apparent that this book was written by someone who
has spent time teaching the subject.  The writing style is entertaining and
clear.  There are many good examples throughout the book.  Each chapter
includes a "Q & A" section which addresses frequently asked questions as
well as tangential issues which would detract from the flow of the text.
There are frequent cross-references to related material in other parts of
the book.  Source code for the book's programs, as well as errata, are
available on the author's World-Wide Web page.  And each chapter has a
variety of exercises, enabling the reader to evaluate the learning process.
Best of all, the index takes you right to the part of the book you
need--it's not too sparse, and it's not cluttered with tangential
references.
	The first time I picked up this book I quickly found the solution
to a file-reading bug which had perplexed me for months.  I am placing this
book at the top of my heap of programming texts, and I am recommending it
to all of my programming colleagues.

Subject: Which one is better for geometry optimization, B3LYP/4-31G or HF/6-31G*?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit



Hi,


I have been doing calculations on geometry optimizing of some organic
molecules with great ring constraints. I tried some semi-empirical
methods, for example, MNDO and PM3, but the results were rather
different with the corresponding XRD crystal datas. So I have to use
non-empirical ab initio methods to do the same work.

My question is which method is better, B3LYP/4-31G or HF/6-31G*?

With best wishes

Y. Fan

Subject: Dock 4.0 successful compilation under Irix 6.4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit



Thanks to the many people who volunteered advice
concerning Dock 4.0 compilation under Irix 6.4.
In case others encounter problems, here are some
things which need to be done for successful 
compilation:
(1)  There is a problem with the number of continuation
lines in the elements.h file under Irix 6.4. 
(Note that there are two elements.h
files, one in the database directory and one in the accessories
directory).  You need to edit both of these and change the number
of lines by placing the last data entry on one line e.g.
     +                252.00000,257.00000,258.00000,259.00000,260.00000/


(2) There are several old object files which 
are not deleted by "make clean".  You will need to hand delete these
files.
They include writeSDF.o  and readSDF.o in the accessories directory.

(3) You will need a -n32 flag on the compile and will need to add this
to all
the Makefiles.  You may not need this if you figure out #2 above first
and
delete all the old object files.  I got a fatal linker error because it
was
trying to link old 32-bit objects with -n32 links.  This could have been
because
there were some old remaining object files.

I still received some warnings on compilation, and will have to see how
serious
they are once I begin playing with the program.

Again, thanks to all those who gave me advice.
