Subject: Obituary: Jens Hugger

Jens Hugger, PhD, Associate Professor at Department of Mathematical
Sciences, University of Copenhagen, died on March 4, 2016 after
struggling with pancreatic cancer.

Jens grew up in Aalborg, Denmark.  He received his Master degree in
Mathematics from Aalborg University in 1983, and a PhD from University
of Maryland in 1990 with Ivo Babuska as thesis advisor.  In 1991 Jens
was employed as Assistant Professor (and from 1995 as Associate
Professor) at University of Copenhagen, where he served as head of a
number of study boards since 1996.

Jens taught and worked primarily in numerical analysis, specializing
in error estimation and adaptive mesh generation for the finite
element method.  One of his key interests was the development of a
framework for pointwise error estimation.  Since 2000 he was also
working in computational financial engineering and, in particular,
option pricing.

Jens was a very warm person and family man.  He liked soccer and
football, and he loved traveling the world and meeting new cultures.
He is survived by his wife, Ada Scupola, and three children.

June 7th - 8th, 2016, Imperial College London, UK

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together the Nektar++
developers and design time with users of any experience level within
the broader community.  This two day workshop will feature talks
providing an overview of Nektar++, discussions on the current design
roadmap, tutorials on how to use some of the more recently added
and/or requested features within Nektar++ (such as high-order mesh
generation and parallelism), and presentations by those adapting and
using Nektar++ for pushing the boundaries of their own scientific and

A Workshop on Nonlinear Optimization Algorithms and Industrial 
Applications will take place at the Fields Institute, Toronto, on June 2-4, 
2016. Everyone is welcome to attend the workshop, which will celebrate 
the 70th birthday of Andrew R. Conn. Thursday June 2 will be designated 
as Industry Day, with all talks focused on topics relevant to industry, so 
participants from industry and students interested in industrial careers are 
especially encouraged to attend on Thursday, and, if they wish, present a 
poster in the poster session. A limited number of travel grants are available 
for graduate students and early career researchers who present a poster.

Subject: Sparse Days at CERFACS, France, Jun 2016

The annual Sparse Days meeting will be held at CERFACS in Toulouse on
30th June and 1st July 2016.  These dates are one day later than
originally broadcast so that people can attend the VECPAR meeting
earlier that week in Portugal and also be able to attend the PMAA
meeting in Bordeaux the following week.

Because of this juxtaposition, the overriding theme will be one of
parallelism but as usual any talk that has an association with
sparsity is welcome. The default length for a talk plus questions is
30 minutes but a different time is negotiable.

Requests to speak (accompanied by a title and short abstract) should
be sent to Xavier Vasseur ([log in to unmask]) and registrations (that
are free) should be made to Brigitte Yzel
([log in to unmask]). Although the deadline for these are 31st
May 2016, earlier notice will help our organization of the Days.

plays a critical role in understanding electronic and optical
properties of materials and chemical systems, and in energy related
applications.  Numerical algorithms for excited state theory typically
suffer from high computational complexity. This conference aims at
bringing leading experts in the field to introduce recent developments
of numerical algorithms and applications of excited state theory, and
to stimulate discussion among conference participants.

Subject: Special issue of EJAM on PDE for data modelling and analysis

We are excited to announce that a forthcoming special issue of the
European Journal of Applied Mathematics (EJAM) will feature research
articles that involve partial differential equations (PDE) used in
data science.

PDE models have found their way into the data sciences, in a variety
of ways. They are used directly, for example for data assimilation,
image processing, image analysis, shape analysis, inverse problems,
computer vision, and modelling complex phenomena such as crowd motion,
opinion formation, and option pricing. PDE ideas also serve as an
inspiration to formulate and solve data problems on graphs and
networks, such as in the use of graph-discretised PDE for various
classification and community detection problems, and in the
application of Gamma-convergence to link graph and continuum
variational classification models, which is crucial for analysing
these models and for understanding their scalability. Submissions on
these and related topics are invited for this special issue.

The peer review of submissions for this special issue will be in
accordance with EJAM's mission to focus on mathematical models
inspired by real-world applications, while at the same time fostering
the development of theoretical methods with a broad range of
applicability. Further details on EJAM's mandate can be obtained from
their website: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?
jid=EJM

Papers are due no later than 19 October 2016. Authors should lodge
submissions online via the EJAM website, noting in a covering letter
that their paper is for consideration for this special
issue. Publication of the special issue is expected to be in autumn
2017.

Enquiries can be directed to Yves van Gennip
([log in to unmask]) (special issue), Carola-Bibiane
Schönlieb ([log in to unmask]) (special issue), or John King
([log in to unmask]) (general enquiries).
