Castillo [log in to unmask] Date: April 18, 2018 Subject: Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, Cuba, Jun 2018 The IX PanAmerican Workshop in applied mathematics and computational science will be held in Varadero, Cuba June 11-18 2018 The objective of these workshops is to create cooperative research activities based on international collaboration and to promote the development of applied and computational mathematics in Latin America. To accomplish these goals, we must bring together practicing applied mathematicians and computational scientists in the Americas to exchange research information, and create a forum for researchers to refine, enhance and implement research activities. The purpose is to continue to center in areas of applied and computational mathematics, such as, computational fluid dynamics, numerical optimization, high-performance computing, grid generation, computer algebra, and dynamical systems aimed to evaluate data related to areas of environmental, social and economic development in the Americas. http://www.csrc.sdsu.edu/panam2018/index.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Ronald Haynes [log in to unmask] Date: April 20, 2018 Subject: Domain Decomposition Methods (DD25), Canada, Jul 2018 The 25th International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods (DD25) will be held at Memorial University, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada from July 23 to 27, 2018.

The key behind our construction is the Godunov method and the Rankine-Hugoniot condition. We will show in details the construction of an upwind HDG framework and its application to constructively derive HDG methods for a large class of partial differential equations (PDEs) including elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic, and mixed-types PDEs. The participants will learn how to apply this framework to derive HDG methods for convection-diffusion-reactions equations (and its subsets), Maxwell equations, and linearized shallow water equation. The well-posedness of the HDG framework will be discussed and the well-posedness analysis of the HDG formulation for the convection-diffusion-reaction will be carried out in details. The participants will learn a step-by-step convergence analysis of the HDG method for the linearized shallow water equations. We will discuss the extension to nonlinear systems and active research topics. At the end of the short course, participants will, without wary, be able to construct HDG methods for their applications of interest. They will learn how HDG is implemented in practice and accompanied HDG Matlab codes will be provided at end of the short course. Outline of the course: 1) Introduction to the Discontinuous Galerkin method for hyperbolic PDEs; 2) Derivation of the upwind HDG framework for hyperbolic PDEs; 3) Application of the upwind HDG framework to convection-diffusion- reaction equations; 4) Application of the upwind HDG framework to Maxwell equations; 5) Application of the upwind HDG framework to linearized shallow water equations; 6) Well-posedness of the HDG framework and its application to the convection-diffusion-reaction equations; 7) A convergence analysis for the upwind HDG method for the linearized shallow equations; 8) Extension of the HDG framework to nonlinear PDEs and active research topics; 9) Implementation aspects and the details of Matlab codes for convection- diffusion-reaction equations. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Laurent Plagne [log in to unmask] Date: April 21, 2018 Subject: Julia Summer School, France, Jul 2018 The CEA-EDF-INRIA summer school: "An introduction to machine learning and high performance with Julia" will take place from 2 to 6 July 2018 at UPMC in Paris.
