Some 23 years ago, on 27-Oct-1991, I began the cleanup of three bibliography files that Tony Hearn had long maintained to record publications about the Reduce algebra system and its applications. I continue to maintain those files, and some others, all of which can be found at these URLs: http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/redextra.bib http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/red-a-f.bib http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/red-g-l.bib http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/red-m-z.bib http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/redbooks.bib http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/redextra.bib http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/reduce.bib Change the suffix ".bib" to ".html" for a version that looks the same on the screen, but has live hyperlinks. Those bibliographies are part of a large collection in the TeX User Group and BibNet Project archives that now holds 1.05 million BibTeX entries that have undergone substantial cleanup from their original data. For many of the hundreds of journals in those archives, coverage is complete from the first issue forward. This past summer's work has produced a large expansion in the areas of probability and statistics, and you can see what is covered there by searching for the first instance of "prob" or "stat" in the Web page at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/ Nightly cron jobs mine the combined archives to find new entries that are candidates for updates to the many subject-specific bibliographies, of which Reduce is one small area. There is also coverage of other algebra systems, including Axiom, Magma, Macsyma (and Vaxima and Maxima), Maple, and Mathematica, as well as coverage of two journals corresponding to the latter two. There is also coverage of the Matlab and Simulink systems in matlab.bib. This posting today has three purposes: (1) To draw your attention to the archives, in the event you are not familiar with them (the first section of the last URL, and of this one http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet , contain instructions for mirroring all, or selected parts, of the archives. The more archive mirrors we have, the safer we are.). (2) To request that in your `copious free time', that you check your own Reduce-related publication lists to see whether the Utah archives are missing any entries, and if so, to alert me to them. I'll do any needed data cleanup, so simple cut-and-paste operations at your end should be just fine. (3) To draw your attention to a new Reduce-related article that corrects a previous one; BibTeX entries for both are given below. Because "Reduce" is a common, and commonly-used, noun, as well as a proper noun meaning our computer-algebra system, it is difficult to search databases for Reduce publications related to computer algebra. There are similar problems with Maple, where searches also find "maple leaf", hockey, "maple syrup", and "maple urine diseases, swamping the few algebra-related entries,, and also with the names of other algebra systems listed above. @String{j-MATHEMATICA-J = "Mathematica Journal"} @Article{Kampas:2005:TUR, author = "F.

This article corrects the program in \cite{Kampas:2005:TUR}, which computes the solution of Karush--Kuhn--Tucker equations. Our main goal, however, is to provide a program to compute the set of all Nash equilibria of a bimatrix game. The program works well for ``small'' games (i.e. $ 4 \times 4 $ or smaller games); thus, in particular, it is suitable for constructing classroom examples and as an additional tool to empower students in classes using game theory. \ldots{}", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
