Willem Hundsdorfer, passed away last Friday, Nov. 10, at the age of 63. Since 1984, Willem was affiliated with CWI, first in the department numerical mathematics where he built up an international reputation in this field; he continued fundamental research in this field until now. Since 2002, he was part of the group Multiscale Dynamics at CWI, where he shared his expertise for developing simulations of electric discharges that by now are widely recognized. Since 2009, he was also full professor in part-time at the Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen. He was a sharp and driven researcher, and he acted as journal editor and conference organizer. And he was a social and caring person towards PhD students and colleagues, with a fine humor and a tendency to understatement. He was head of CWI's works council twice, and he was CWI's internal person of trust for 12 years. We will miss him deeply. The ceremony before the cremation will take place on Thursday, November 16 at 14:00 at the aula of crematorium Westerveld, Duin- en Kruidbergerweg 2-6, 1985 HG Driehuis, near IJmuiden, https://www.bc- westerveld.nl/directions. After the ceremony condolences can be offered at De IJmond Brasserie en Restaurant, Seinpostweg 40, 1976 BT IJmuiden.

The goal of MFEM is to enable high-performance scalable finite element discretization research and application development on a wide variety of platforms, ranging from laptops to exascale supercomputers, see http://ceed.exascaleproject.org. It has many features, including: - 2D and 3D, arbitrary order H1, H(curl), H(div), L2, NURBS elements. - Parallel version scalable to hundreds of thousands of MPI cores. - Conforming/nonconforming adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), including anisotropic refinement, derefenement and parallel load balancing. - Galerkin, mixed, isogeometric, discontinuous Galerkin, hybridized, and DPG discretizations. - Support for triangular, quadrilateral, tetrahedral and hexahedral elements, including arbitrary order curvilinear meshes. - Scalable algebraic multigrid, time integrators, and eigensolvers. - Lightweight interactive OpenGL visualization with the MFEM-based GLVis tool, http://glvis.org. Some of the new additions in version 3.3.2 are: - High-order mesh optimization with the target-matrix optimization paradigm (TMOP) by Knupp et al. - Implementation of the community policies of the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Development Kit (xSDK). - Integration with the STRUMPACK parallel sparse direct solver and preconditioner. - Several new linear interpolators, five new examples and miniapps. - Various performance, discretization and solver improvements, including physical-to-reference space mapping capabilities. - Continuous integration testing on Linux, Mac and Windows. MFEM is being developed in CASC, LLNL and is freely available under LGPL 2.1.

Anastassiou, Ioannis K. Argyros Functional Numerical Methods: Applications to Abstract Fractional Calculus, SPRINGER 2018 This short monograph is regarding applications of Newton-like and other iterative methods for solving abstract functional equations that involve abstract fractional derivatives. The functions we are dealing with are Banach space valued of a real domain. These are studied for the first time in the literature, and chapters are self-contained and can be read independently. Various issues related to the modeling and analysis of fractional order systems have gained an increased popularity and the purpose of our book is to provide a deeper and formal analysis on some issues that are relevant to many areas for instance: decision making, complex processes, systems modeling and control. The above are deeply embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics, economics, social and life sciences. An extensive list of references is given per chapter. The monograph is suitable for researchers, graduate students, and seminars of the above subjects, also to be in all science and engineering libraries. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Max Gunzburger [log in to unmask] Date: November 21, 2017 Subject: Surrogate Models for UQ in Complex Systems, UK, Feb 2018 Registration for this workshop is open through to 5 December 2017. Our modern treatment of predicting the behavior of physical and engineering problems relies on approximating solutions in terms of physical and stochastic domains, particularly in the case of uncertainty quantification (UQ), where the input data (coefficients, forcing terms, boundary conditions, geometry, etc) are affected by randomness. For higher resolution and accuracy, simulations must increase the number of deterministic and stochastic variables, and expend more effort resolving smooth or even discontinuous behavior within each individual component. Simulating the entire complex system at the level of fidelity that truly predicts the solution, remains elusive outside of idealized situations. To combat this resulting explosion in computational effort, surrogate models are employed to quickly and efficiently predict the input-output map of many complex simulations. As such, this workshop will be organized around a set of themes in which surrogate models have become an essential tool in enabling and accelerating UQ for a variety of problems, including: 1. High-dimensional stochastic systems; 2. Inference, optimization, and control in the presence of uncertainty; 3. Stochastic multi-scale and multi-physics problems; and 4. Design of physical and computational experiments; However, constructing accurate surrogates for such problems and computing their predictions along with the uncertainties they introduce, constitute additional challenges. This workshop will explore a variety of approaches that have been developed to address such challenges, including Gaussian processes, sparse interpolation and projection, discrete least squares, compressed sensing, dimension reduction, multi-fidelity formulations, Bayesian inference, homogenization techniques, and atomistic to continuum coupling methods. In addition to invited talks, a poster session will be organized, as well as a two panel discussions. Please see the workshop webpage for a list of speakers and tentative titles, and for registration details.

Which method should be utilized to construct the reduced order basis for the flow dynamics, from which we can reconstruct the solution for a new scenario, based on available input conditions? What are relevant quality criteria for the ROM in the context of aerodynamics of wind turbines, and how can the approximation properties of the ROM be optimized?
