The goal of SWIM is to bring together researchers and practitioners
working on interval methods and their applications, in the broader
sense, providing a forum to review and discuss the state-of-the-art in
this area and fostering cross-fertilization between different
approaches.

The workshop is mainly focused on theory and applications of interval
methods in various disciplines, e.g., Constraint programming and
global optimization; Computer aided proofs; Verification; Robotics;
Planning and control; Data analysis

SUBMISSIONS are now open. A submission requires 1-2 page abstract
submission according to the given template, to be found on the
submission page: http://swim2016.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit .
Submission deadline: May 16, 2016.

SPECIAL ISSUE: After the workshop, a special issue in an international
journal will be considered.

Subject: Singularly Perturbed DEs, Canada, Jul 2016

Registration is now open for a short course and workshop on the
numerical analysis of singularly perturbed differential equations,
organized by the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical
Sciences Collaborative Research Group in Numerical Analysis and
Scientific Computing, from July 25th-29th, 2016 in Halifax, NS,
Canada.

The meeting will consist of a 2-day short course on Numerical Analysis
of Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations taught by leading
expert Dr.  Niall Madden (National University of Ireland, Galway),
research level talks by experts in the field, and talks by academic
and industrial researchers with applied problems who have an interest
in applying these techniques.  The final part of the workshop will be
interactive, linking the applied researchers with numerical analysis
experts to investigate the process of introducing parameter-robust
techniques to their simulations.

Confirmed speakers include Andrew Bernoff (Harvey Mudd College),
Adriana Dawes (Ohio State University), Natalia Kopteva (University of
Limerick), Torsten Linß (University of Hagen), and Martin Stynes
(Beijing Computational Science Research Centre).

We invite participation from researchers who are interested in either
the development of advanced algorithms for simulation of singularly
perturbed differential equations or the use of these algorithms in
their work.  Partial funding to support travel and/or local expenses
for students and early- career researchers is available.

Subject: FEM for Eigenvalue Problems, USA, Aug 2016

Aug. 10-14, 2016 Michigan Technological University
http://www.math.mtu.edu/~jiguangs/IMAPIConf/Welcome.html

Eigenvalue problems arise in many scientific and engineering
applications.  Finite element methods (FEM) have successfully been
applied to eigenvalues of partial differential equations across
disparate fields, due to their ability to handle complex structures
and rigorous underlying theoretical framework.  The program aims to
mix leading researchers and local faculty in computational mathematics
together to infuse graduate students with the fundamentals of finite
element methods and cutting-edge PDE and matrix eigenvalue
problems. The students will be trained to set up and solve classical
PDE eigenvalue problems, to understand convergence theory, and to
grasp modern techniques for large sparse non-Hermitian matrix
eigenvalue problems. The lectures are arranged so that students will
obtain a complete picture of how finite element methods can be used to
solve eigenvalue problems: from the theory to implementation, from
classical results to active research topics.

Aug. 10: Fundamentals on FEM for Eigenvalue Problems; Laplace
Eigenvalue Problems; Implementation
Dr. Mark Gockenbach, Michigan Technological University

Aug. 11-12: Large Scale Matrix Eigenvalue Problems, Non-Hermitian
Eigenvalue Solvers, Arnoldi Method
Dr. Rich Lehoucq, Sandia National Laboratories

Aug. 13-14: Maxwell's Eigenvalue Pproblems; Mixed Finite Element
Methods for Eigenvalue Problems; Advanced Topics for Eigenvalue
Problems

Subject: Faculty Positions, Mathematics, Univ Otago

The department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of
Otago invites applications for two positions in Mathematics. The
appointments are expected to be made at the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer
level. The U.S. equivalent level of appointment is Assistant Professor
(Lecturer) and Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer). We welcome
applications from candidates with research expertise in any area of
Mathematics. Research areas of current Mathematics staff include
algebra, complex analysis, fractional calculus with applications,
functional analysis, graph theory, mathematical biology, mathematical
physics, operator algebra, polar-marine physics, ring theory and
stochastic PDE. Our expectation is that one position will be offered
in pure mathematics and the other in applied mathematics. Otago has
consistently been among the top-ranked research universities in New
Zealand, with Pure and Applied Mathematics research at Otago topping
the most recent national ranking assessment. The University values
research and research-informed teaching, and teaching assignments and
loads are structured accordingly. The University is located in the
vibrant southern city of Dunedin, which is a gateway to the beautiful
Otago region of New Zealand. We encourage academics to establish and
maintain international research connections, and we support this with
generous research/sabbatical and conference leave.

Candidates for this position should have a PhD in Mathematics or
equivalent, a demonstrated commitment to ongoing mathematical research
with a potential to develop a research program of international
repute, and demonstrated success and/or aptitude in teaching
Mathematics. The successful applicant will be capable of teaching the
full range of our Mathematics courses at the undergraduate level, from
first-year to Honours courses, and will supervise postgraduate
research students. The position is full time and permanent subject to
the satisfactory completion of the confirmation-path objectives for
new appointees.  The confirmation-path process is similar to the
process of gaining tenure but is entirely internal with predetermined
objectives. We welcome international candidates and provide financial
assistance for relocation and visa applications. There is a wealth of
practical information available for migrants considering a move to New
Zealand and Dunedin.

Specific enquiries about this position may be directed to the Head
of Department Professor Robert Aldred. Applications quoting
reference number 1600643 will close on Friday, 20 May 2016.
