冯康独辟蹊径创始辛几何算法
来源:科学时报
20世纪60年代，数学家、我国计算数学事业的主要奠基人和开拓者、中国科学院院士冯康，独立于
西方创始了有限元方法。20世纪80年代，他在花甲之年毅然进入一个应用前景广阔的全新研究领域
——哈密尔顿系统的辛几何算法。是什么促使他作出这一决定呢？
在1991年中国物理学会年会上，冯康提出了一些关于动力系统的科学问题：在遥远的未来，
太阳系呈现什么景象？地球会与其他星球相撞吗？他说，也许有人认为，只要利用牛顿定律，按现有
的计算方法编个程序，用超级计算机进行计算，花费足够的时间，总能得到结果。但结果可信吗？
实际上，对这样复杂的计算，计算机或者根本得不出结果，或者得出一个错误的结果。这是计算方法
问题，机器性能再好也无济于事，编程技巧再高也是无能为力的。
动力系统问题不同于椭圆边值问题，有限元方法已不能很好地解决此类问题。应该用什么样
的计算方法来计算动力系统问题呢？冯康在创始有限元方法的过程中已体会到，同一物理过程的
各种等价的数学表述可能导致不等效的计算方法。有限元对椭圆边值问题的成功是因为选择了适
当的力学体系和数学形式。有限元不能很好地解决动态问题则是由于拉格朗日力学体系不能很好
地反映其本质特征。
于是，冯康又回到了物理原理。在数学物理方程中列于首位的经典力学方程，有三种等价的数
学形式体系：牛顿力学体系、拉格朗日力学体系和哈密尔顿力学体系。其中，哈密尔顿体系一直是
物理学理论研究的出发点，其应用涉及物理、力学和工程的众多领域。
冯康发现唯有哈密尔顿力学体系才是可供选择的研究动态问题的最适当的力学体系。辛几何
是哈密尔顿体系的数学基础，冯康抓住了设计哈密尔顿系统数值方法的突破口——辛几何方法。
他组织研究队伍对哈密尔顿系统的辛几何算法进行系统的理论研究和广泛的数值实验，经过十余
年的努力，成果丰硕。
现在已知，传统的算法除了少数例外，几乎都不是辛几何算法，因此不可避免地带有人为耗散
性等歪曲体系特征的缺陷。而冯康等人提出的辛几何算法却保持了体系结构，特别是在稳定性与
长期跟踪能力上具有独特的优点，已在我国的动力天文、大气海洋、分子动力学等领域的计算中成
功应用。深入的理论分析和大量的数值实验表明，辛几何算法解决了久悬未决的动力学长期预测
计算问题。
1997年，哈密尔顿系统的辛几何算法获得国家自然科学一等奖。

日本计算出圆周率小数点后25769亿位数 创新纪录
来源：中国新闻网
据日本共同社报道，日本筑波大学计算科学研究中心8月17日宣布，该中心使用超级计算机计算
出圆周率小数点后25769.8037亿位数，创下新的世界纪录。此前的纪录为小数点后12411亿位，
2002年由东京大学和日立制作所的共同研究小组计算得出。新纪录提高到2倍以上。筑波大学已
于8月10日申报吉尼斯世界纪录。
该数据由研究中心副教授高桥大介计算出。此次使用的是美国制造、连接640台电脑、最快计算速度
可达每秒95万亿次的超级计算机“T2K筑波系统”，于今年4月分两次进行主要计算和验证计算，
耗时73小时36分。与2002年耗费的约600小时相比，只有其八分之一。
预计计算中使用的部分程序今后将向普通民众公开，高桥称“运用此次成果可以大幅提高物理学
和化学领域的计算速度”。

Subject: International workshop on biomolecules, Beijing, September 14 - 16.
Dear colleagues,
Our workshop on continuum modeling of biomolecules will be held in
just one month in Beijing; see
http://lsec.cc.ac.cn/~wcmb/
We will have 20 interesting talks in three days, covering many topics
(continuum electrostatics, biomolecular diffusion, molecular dynamics
simulations, scaleed particle theory, hydrophobic interactions,
density functional theories, geometrical models of solvation,
variational models of solvation, Monte Carlo simulations, multiscale
models and methods, proteins, membranes, ion channels, etc.). I am
helping Benzhuo Lu schedule all the talks. Hopefully in a few days, we
can put the schedule on the web.
If you will be around in Beijing during the workshop, you are most
welcome to join us for talks and discussions. If you have postdocs and
students who are interested in such a workshop, please let us know.
They can contact us directly.
Best regards,
