Nearly conservative multivalue methods for separable Hamiltonian problems
No full textThis talk investigates the canonical properties of general linear methods for long time integration of Hamiltonian problems. It is known that
the classical symplecticity property is important for the accurate numerical solution of Hamiltonian problems and this is only possible for "canonical"
Runge-Kutta methods. Even if general linear methods cannot be symplectic (see [3]), it is possible to lead them inherit a nearly canonical behavior
from their nonlinear stability properties. This is done by imposing a further algebraic constraint on their coecient matrices, known as G-symplecticity
[1], which is a rst requirement to obtain an accurate conservation of the invariants of an Hamiltonian problem. Special attention will be given to the
numerical treatment of separable Hamiltonian problems: to this purpose, the family of G-symplectic partitioned general linear methods is introduced [2]. Due to their multivalue nature, partitioned general linear methods generate parasitic components of the numerical solution which needs to be properly removed: we discuss how G-symplectic partitioned general linear methods free from parasitism can be constructed. We also consider the eects of G-symplecticity on the order of convergence of the derived methods, by exploiting the theory of B-series. Numerical experiments on a selection of separable Hamiltonian problems are discussed. This is a joint work with J. C. Butcher from the University of Auckland

Rosemary Butcher: choreography/collisions/collaborations
No full textMonograph, co-edited with Rosemary Butcher; Middlesex University Press, October 2005. The work also includes a chapter by Melrose: 'Always Innovate', pp.170-203. The editorial collaboration enabled the pursuit of wholly separate but complementary roles in this publication: the shared aim was to realise a visually and intellectually distinctive volume with an orientation to a wide audience, by combining independently-commissioned design features focused on the history of choreographic/visual arts practices of a signature practitioner, with more conventional 'performance writing' from a range of writers (including Susan Leigh Foster and Janet Lansdale, and visual artist Robert Ayers), exploring both 'academic' and more popular registers. The work asks how one might best 'document' the practices of a major contemporary practitioner in such a way as to enable readers to move between what are often disjoined textual registers, while retaining the strongest emphasis possible on the expert practitioner's work in choreography and the visual arts

Rosemary Butcher: the digital archive
No full textThe online archive, 'Rosemary Butcher: The Archive', represents the realisation of the final major research target of my AHRC Fellowship. In research terms, the archive looks not simply at questions of memory, formative experience, and the development of artistic signature, but equally at how these may be realised online, while allowing other viewers to explore more than three decades of creative practice. It takes up currently urgent issues of archiving performance practices (see for example AHDS on issues of documentation), and focuses on how, after the event, 'creative process' and decision-making might be recalled. The online archive looks at and realises my sense of the most effective means to provide a wider audience with a timeline, producing a (reassembled) history of creative activity over a 'professional lifetime'. It suggests how that creative practice resonates with 'performance histories' of contemporary dance from the 1970s onwards. The digital medium allowed me to work constructively with digital design (Why Not Design), to provide a photographic gallery framed by visuals from my most recent works (e.g. Hidden Voices), plus performance details, reviews, and 5 DVDs exploring different thematic clusters - e.g. 'body as site' - which emerged at key historical moments. The research enquiry into how memory can be unfolded took me to a number of key artistic sites and museum-holdings in the US and UK, visiting accounts of the work of Bill Viola, Yvonne Rainer amongst others, with which my own creative practices resonate. It suggests that creative practice can be triggered by exposure to 'new work' by other practitioners, and it suggests that the specifics of 'signature' emerge from ways of seeing and doing that are singular (Massumi) but also coherent with that other work in contextual terms

Just in Time: Rosemary Butcher, making memories and marks
No full textWhat is at stake in the relatively recent urge to document, annotate or archive decision-making processes in creative practices? Others have posed this sort of question (not least Derrida's Archive Fever, 1995), but, ironically enough, they tend to have done so through the written text—just as we are, in part, constrained to do here. Who or what has driven the historically specific urge to document—and who has benefited from it? Writer-researchers tend to be blissfully expert in the sorts of fields that collocate around performance decision-making—not least where university researcher holds sway. Yet surely what some of us may want—almost desperately—to capture, still evades that attempt at wording? What is it that holds centre-field, while researchers run around? Besides, what does the artist or maker really want?
What do researchers want from ‘the artist’ when we use the words ’document’, ‘record’, ‘annotate’ and ‘archive’? When do we want it? Plainly Butcher has made the work, but ‘the work’, here, tends to signal the history of the made, rather less than the story of the making. In historical terms, most of Butcher's making processes pre-date this urge to document—except in her own mind, which bears their marks. What does Butcher remember? Perhaps her memories are the work's archive—hence, for whom do we archive, document and annotate, and how? In Derrida, concern was with time (in the beginning, in the end), and the command (do this! do that!), whereas what Butcher seems to recall is a series of questions, for which she continues to have few answers: the apparently simple ‘What was I doing then?’ signals an ongoing enquiry that image, writing and record fail to satisfy
Aleiodes (Hemigyroneuron) arabiensis Butcher & Quicke, 2015, sp. nov.
No full textAleiodes (Hemigyroneuron) arabiensis sp. nov. (Figs 2–3) Holotype female: “Arabia, Lith, 10m. inland. 1.1945, Dr. B.P. Uvarov” (BMNH). Length of body 5.8 mm, of fore wing 5.7 mm; antennae broken. Remaining part of left antenna with 38 flagellomeres; 1 st flagellomere approximately 1.2 × longer than wide and 1.2 × longer than the 2 nd and 3 rd separately. Eyes very large, sharply and deeply emarginated opposite antennal sockets; width of head: width of face: height of eye = 3.5:1.0: 2.3. Face irregularly rugulose. Ocelli extremely large, posterior ocelli hardly separated from eye. Occiput coriaceous. Occipital carina complete but irregular mediodorsally, joining hypostomal carina remote from base of mandible. Mesosoma 1.67 × longer than high. Mesoscutum coriaceous becoming rugulose posteriorly between weakly indicated notauli. Scutellar sulcus wide. Mesopleuron and mesosternum largely shiny with punctures at base of setae, with some fine striation dorsally and near episternal scrobe; precoxal sulcus not impressed nor indicated by change in sculpturation. Propodeum rugulose, with complete but weak and irregular midlongitudinal carina. Fore wing. Lengths of veins r-rs: 3 RSa: 3 RSb = 1.0: 1.5: 4.1. Veins 1 -M and m+cu approximately equal in length and each slightly longer than (RS+M)b. Subbasal cell with strongly enlarged, ovoid apical part, demarked basally by a tubular cross-vein running posteriorly from M+CU to approximately half way across the cell; swollen part with small medial sclerome, largely setose except for quadrant antero-distal to sclerome. Vein 1 cu-a strongly curved and distally expanded. Hind wing. Vein M+CU 1.15 x 1 M. Vein m-cu entirely absent. Vein R more or less interstitial. Lengths of fore femur: tibia: tarsus = 1.0: 1.05: 1.05. Lengths of hind femur: tibia: tarsus = 1.0: 1.15:1.0. Hind femur robust 4.5 × longer than maximally deep. Claws with two strong pectin spines. Metasomal tergites 1, 2 and basal half of 3 finely longitudinally striate-coriaceous. Tergites 1-5 densely setose. Tergite 2 with distinct midbasal triangular area and weak but complete midlongitudinal carina; 2 × wider posteriorly than medially long, 1.15 × longer than tergite 3. Coloration. Ochreous yellow, stemmaticum black, posterior metasomal tergites piceous. Wing venation pale brown but pterostigma (except extreme base), vein r-rs and veins forming the swollen distal part of the fore wing subbasal cell dark brown. Etymology. Name based on the type locality. Notes. The new species keys easily in Butcher & Quicke (2011) to couplet 16 which leads to three species (A. (H.) plurivena Butcher & Quicke, glandularis Butcher & Quicke and sharkeyi Butcher & Quicke) that have a spur running posteriorly from fore wing vein M+CU demarking the basal end of the swollen part of the subbasal cell, and is clearly most closely related to A. (H.) plurivena in that the spurious transverse vein is tubuar, the precoxal sulcus absent, strongly striate axillae and very large eyes and ocelli. It can easily be separated from this and other species of the subgenus by its far more swollen distal part of the subbasal cell which is more than twice as high as the first subdiscal cell, by the differentiated distal part of fore wing vein M+CU greater than 0.65 x the length of the unmodified basal part as opposed to being at most 0.42 x in other Afrotropical species, and by the glabrous part of the subbasal cell being limited to the part anterodistal to the sclerome.Published as part of Butcher, Buntika A. & Quicke, Donald L.
