He was 74 years ago. Benyu received his B.S degree from Shanghai University of Science and Technology in 1965 and self-studied numerical analysis during the period of cultural revolution. During 1979 to 1981, he was a visiting scholar at INRIA in France under the guidance of late Professor J.L. Lions. He served as President of Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and executive vice- president of Shanghai University. Since 2001, he had been a Chair Professor at Shanghai Normal University. Benyu was a prolific researcher with nearly 300 peer reviewed publications. He made important contributions in many areas, including finite-difference methods for weather prediction and solitary waves, stability theory for nonlinear approximations and numerical analysis of spectral methods for PDEs. He has trained over 30 Ph.D students, many of them are active researchers in various academic institutions. He received numerous prestigious awards, including a honorary doctoral degree from Sanford University in England. A memorial service for Benyu was held on May 11 and was attended by over 300 of his colleagues, friends and students. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Robert van de Geijn [log in to unmask] Date: June 25, 2016 Subject: MOOC on linear algebra (LAFF) offered again In Spring 2014, we first offered "Linear Algebra: Foundations to Frontiers" (LAFF) on the edX platform (edx.org).

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). ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kathryn Roberts [log in to unmask] Date: June 23, 2016 Subject: Contents, IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, 36 (2) Contents, IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, 36(2) IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis Links to all articles in this issue are available online at: http://www.oxfordjournals.org/page/6803/21 Broken Sobolev space iteration for total variation regularized minimization problems, Sören Bartels Numerical meshes ensuring uniform observability of one-dimensional waves: construction and analysis, Sylvain Ervedoza, Aurora Marica, and Enrique Zuazua Error estimates for a numerical approximation to the compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations, Thierry Gallouët and Raphaèle Herbin, David Maltese and Antonin Novotny Instance optimal Crouzeix-Raviart adaptive finite element methods for the Poisson and Stokes problems, Christian Kreuzer and Mira Schedensack Explicit construction of rectangular differentiation matrices, Kuan Xu and Nicholas Hale High-order accurate, fully discrete entropy stable schemes for scalar conservation laws, Hamed Zakerzadeh and Ulrik S.
