The conference will aim to draw together the considerable community of researchers and practitioners who develop new mathematics of relevance to and which underpin applications in Operational Research (OR). It will take a comprehensive view, will showcase activity from across OR, and will welcome both contributions which have a clear application focus as well as those which are theoretically driven. Contributions will be expected to showcase both significant new mathematics and OR relevance. The conference will host plenaries from leading international experts. Invited Speakers: - Jeremy Bradley (Royal Mail) - Shane Henderson (Cornell University) - Rob Solly (Dstl) - Sven Leyffer (Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago) - Milan Vojnovic (LSE) Registration is now open via https://my.ima.org.uk/ If you are an IMA Member or you have previously registered for an IMA conference, then you are already on our database.

The goal of this summer school is to give the participants a basic introduction to the analysis and the numerics of phase fields. The focus will be on introducing the phase field concept including some physical applications, show how the phase field equation relate to other moving-boundary models, and numerical implementation. The summer school will therefore be amenable to mathematicians, engineers and scientists and will be presented in a genuine interdisciplinary context. The summer school will be open to participants having a basic knowledge in calculus and partial differential equations as they are taught to engineers and scientists. All sessions will be hands-on, meaning that sufficient time for exercises and their discussion is planned. The lectures will be given by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Carina Bringedal (Universitat Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Harald Garcke (Universitat Regensburg), Prof. Dr. Christian Rohde (Universitat Stuttgart) and Prof. Dr. Thomas Wick (Leibniz Universitat Hannover). More information and subscription procedures can be found on https://www.uhasselt.be/summer-school-phase-field-modeling-2019. Participation is free of charge! ------------------------------------------------------- From: Pamela Bye [log in to unmask] Date: April 05, 2019 Subject: Nonlinearity and Coherent Structures, UK, Jul 2019 10 - 12 July 2019, Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK CALL FOR PAPERS - still time to submit! Nonlinearity plays an important role in many fields of Science, Engineering and Technology.

The short course will cover both the fundamentals of peridynamics as well as advanced topics and applications, including a hands-on computational tutorial. Students, postdocs, as well as early-career and senior researchers are welcome to participate. The short-course description is given below. Title: Peridynamics Theory of Solid Mechanics: modeling, computation, and applications Instructors: - Dr. John Foster ([log in to unmask]) University of Texas at Austin - Dr. David Littlewood ([log in to unmask]) Sandia National Laboratories - Dr. Pablo Seleson ([log in to unmask]) Oak Ridge National Laboratory Description: Peridynamics is a nonlocal reformulation of classical continuum mechanics, based on integral equations, suitable for material failure and damage simulation. In contrast to classical constitutive relations, peridynamic models do not require spatial differentiability assumptions of displacement fields, leading to a natural representation of material discontinuities such as cracks. Furthermore, peridynamic models possess length scales, making them suitable for multiscale modeling. This course will provide an overview of peridynamics, including its mathematical, computational, and modeling aspects. The course will also review advanced research topics and software in peridynamics, and it will include a hands-on tutorial on 3D simulation of solid mechanics problems. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Sergey Matveev [log in to unmask] Date: April 04, 2019 Subject: Matrix Methods in Mathematics and Applications, Russia, Aug 2019 On behalf of Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics and Skolkovo Institute of Science and technology we would like to invite to participate in Fifth Conference on Matrix Methods in Mathematics and Applications (MMMA-2019).
