So far we've compiled 35 of the examples, and you can see them at https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/AppendixB.pdf. We ask your help in cooking up the other 65! If you take a look you'll see that each is an ODE IVP or BVP, scalar or system, and in each case we solve the problem with a couple of lines of Chebfun code and show the result in a plot about 1 inch square. Five or six example fit on each page. We don't know of any collection like this, and ask your help in making it as interesting as possible. Once published next year, the book will be freely available online. ------------------------------------------------------- From: JS Hysing [log in to unmask] Date: June 15, 2017 Subject: Multipysics and FEM Simulations with FEniCS and FEATool GUI Announcing an update patch for the FEATool Multiphysics Matlab and Octave toolbox allowing models to be directly converted and exported as FEniCS python script and Dolfin xml mesh files. With the new update and the FEATool GUI, setting up and solving FEniCS multiphysics and finite element models have never been easier. The patch allows for FEniCS, export, solving, and, solution import direcly from the FEATool Matlab/Octave GUI and also CLI command lines.

In the new book "Modern Solvers for Helmholtz Problems", the latest developments of this topic are presented. It was motivated by the TU Delft workshop on "Recent developments in Fast Helmholtz Solvers", which took place in the spring of 2015. A number of speakers at the workshop and other experts contributed to the book, and shared their unique insights into the topic of the Helmholtz solvers. Various contributions of the book were based on the complex shifted Laplace preconditioner, which was introduced in a seminal paper from 2006, written by Yogi Erlangga, Kees Oosterlee and Kees Vuik. This preconditioner has proven to be a major breakthrough in the research of fast Helmholtz solvers. Using this preconditioner, the linear systems derived from the Helmholtz problems can be solved significantly faster. The chapters of the book describe new variants of the complex shifted Laplace preconditioner, in order to accelerate the current Helmholtz solvers. These variants are based on domain-decomposition techniques, Taylor-series expansions, deflation techniques, and multi- level approaches. Also, advanced implementations and the industrial application of the Helmholtz solvers are discussed in detail. The book is published by Birkhauser, and can be purchased as an eBook or a hardcover from the Springer website: http://www.springer.com/br/book/9783319288314 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Isabella Wiegand [log in to unmask] Date: June 20, 2017 Subject: Summer School Phase Field Models, Germany, Jul-Aug 2017 Summer School: Phase Field Models Technical University of Munich, Dept. of Mathematics Monday, 31.

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.
