Born on Aug 26, 1937 in Tokyo, graduated from Department of Applied Physics, University of Tokyo in 1961, got the doctoral degree on the topic of nuclear physics from the university in 1967, he turned his academic interest to numerical analysis, in particular to numerical integrations and application of complex analysis. His world-known achievement to establish the double-exponential transformation and its application to highly accurate and efficient numerical integration can be seen in M. Mori, Discovery of the double exponential transformation and its developments, Publ.the Res. Inst. for Math. Sci., 41 (2005) (4), 897-935 doi:10.2977/prims/1145474600, ISSN 0034-5318. (http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~okamoto/paper/Publ_RIMS_DE/41-4-38.pdf) For long time Prof, Mori was engaged with Faculty of Engineering of University of Tokyo, Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences (RIMS) of Kyoto University, Institute of Information Sciences and Electronics of University of Tsukuba and Tokyo Denki University, where he advised many students and researchers. During 1998 to 2001, he served as Director of RIMS and at the same time since 1998 to 1999 President of JSIAM (Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathemaics), whose establishment in 1990 he gave all the efforts for. He conrtributed much to developments of mathematical sciences in Japan, and at the same time greatly served the international community of applied mathematicians. Prof. Mori is survived by his wife Namiko, the son Taketoshi and two daughters Michiko and Hiroko. For almost half century he is my dearest senior colleague. We missed a respected numerical analyst. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Andrew R Conn [log in to unmask] Date: February 27, 2017 Subject: Philip S. Wolfe Dr. Philip Starr Wolfe died on December 29, 2016. He was one of the founding fathers of optimization as a subject in its own right. His interests were broad, including game theory, computational economics, linear and nonlinear optimization. At the beginning of his career he interned with George Dantzig at the Air Force's Project SCOOP in the Pentagon. After receiving his PhD from UC Berkeley in 1954 he accepted a position at Princeton University where he and Marguerite Frank did pioneering research on quadratic programming^*. In 1957 Philip joined RAND's computing group a along with George Dantzig, Ray Fulkerson, and Lloyd Shapley. In particular, with George Dantzig he developed an influentially important decomposition method to solve linear programming problems that had only a few constraints linking variables of several smaller LP problems. In addition, they developed a method that only needed to generate LP matrix columns as they were required in the computation, which was fundamental in scaling to large structured problems. In 1964 Ralph Gomory, then Director of Mathematical Sciences at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Laboratory in Yorktown Heights, NY, encouraged him to join IBM research, where he spent the rest of his career. Philip Wolfe published many important articles on optimization, both on the practical and theoretical side. In 1970 he and a group of distinguished colleagues were instrumental in starting the journal Mathematical Programming and the Mathematical Programming Society and shaping its formative years. Both are now pillars for the field of optimization (Philip later served as chairman of the society). In 1992, Philip and his friend and colleague Alan Hoffman were awarded the John von Neumann Theory Prize by ORSA and TIMS as recognition for their contributions to the intellectual foundations of mathematical programming. On presenting the prize, George Nemhauser praised Wolfe for the sixty-plus papers on mathematical programming that he published. Wolfe served as an adjunct professor at Columbia University and, following his retirement in 1996, taught courses at the New York Polytechnic Institute, Columbia University, and the City University of New York. He is survived by his wife, Hallie Flanagan Wolfe, his daughter Sarah of Whitehorse, Canada, and grandchildren Duncan and Sidney. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Dmitri Kvasov [log in to unmask] Date: February 22, 2017 Subject: Khwarismi International Award to Professor Sergeyev Distinguished Professor Yaroslav D.

The foundational methods in numerical algebraic geometry were motivated by the solving of polynomial systems arising from kinematics and robotics. For example, versions of homotopy continuation implemented on computers were already being used to solve kinematics problems in the early 1960s. This interplay continues over 50 years later with new algorithms being developed motivated by kinematics and robotics, and novel problems solved using these algorithms. The first two days will feature prominent speakers, both academics and practitioners in industry, who will highlight successes and challenges from different viewpoints. The last day will feature a poster session in which all attendees are strongly encouraged to present their research to the community.

The corresponding forward problem maps the physical quantity to the measurements. In most realistic situations the solution of the inverse problem is challenging, complicated by incomplete and noisy measurements, as well as non-invertible forward operators which render the inverse problem ill-posed (that is lack of stability and/or uniqueness of solutions). Inverse problems appear in many practical applications in biology, medicine, weather forecasting, chemistry, engineering, physics, to name but a few, and their analysis and solution presents considerable challenges in mathematics and statistics. This conference will bring together mathematicians and statisticians, working on theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems, and engineers, physicists and other scientists, working on challenging inverse problem applications. We welcome industrial representatives, doctoral students, early career and established academics working in this field to attend. Conference topics: Imaging; Regularisation theory; Statistical inverse problems; Sampling; Data assimilation; Inverse problem applications Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 300 word abstract for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts should be submitted by 30 April via https://my.ima.org.uk/ For further information on this conference, please visit the conference webpage: http://ima.org.uk/conferences/conferences_calendar/inverse-problems.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences [log in to unmask] Date: February 24, 2017 Subject: Variational Methods, UK, Sep 2017 Attend this workshop at the Isaac Newton Institute and interact and engage while working on the review, exchange and promoting of recent advances in variational models for imaging and vision, new theories, and fast algorithms as well as discuss the outstanding challenges in the fast growing field.

The goal of this RTG is to address the challenges of rigorous analysis of data, particularly with very large data sets, by integrating three crucial areas: (i) statistics, (ii) computational mathematics, and (iii) applied harmonic analysis. Examples of research questions to be addressed by the synergy of these disciplines include (but are certainly not limited to): 1) finding and analyzing efficient and adaptive data collection strategies in sequential experimental design, 2) reconstructing a signal or image from incomplete or noisy data sources, 3) devising measurement and other data collection strategies that optimize the value of the data in subsequent statistical tests or estimators, and 4) developing new computationally efficient mathematical and statistical models and procedures for exploring and analyzing very large data sets. Summer research support is provided for the first two summers of the appointment along with an allowance for professional travel. The duties of this position involve research in an area of statistics and/or applied mathematics that is consistent with the goals of the RTG along with a teaching load that is two courses per year. Consistent with NSF's eligibility guidelines for the RTG award, the successful candidate must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States by the time of appointment.
