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. - Per Christian Hansen, DTU Compute ------------------------------------------------------- From: Mathias J Krause [log in to unmask] Date: March 10, 2016 Subject: Release Note, OpenLB Version 1.0 The OpenLB developer team is very happy to announce that a new release of the open source Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) code is available for download on the project website http://www.openlb.net.

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. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Weber [log in to unmask] Date: March 07, 2016 Subject: Advances in Continuous Optimization, Poland, Jul 2016 Please be reminded that the deadline for abstract submission to XIVth EUROPT 2016 Workshop on Advances in Continuous Optimization will be due on Mar., 15th, 2016.

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). ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
