Mitchell died on October 15, 2019 at age 64 after a year-long struggle with cancer. Bill retired in 2018 following 25 years of service to the Applied and Computational Mathematics Division of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. Bill was a fixture in the multigrid and adaptive grid refinement research communities.Over his career he published 50 technical papers and gave more than 100 talks. He was the author of several well-engineered and widely distributed software packages, including GENCOL, MGGHAT, PHAML, and f90gl. And, his experimental comparisons of the many techniques for h and hp adaptive refinement published in ACM TOMS have provided valuable guidance to mathematical software developers. A full accounting of Bill's technical accomplishments can be found on his web page, https://math.nist.gov/~WMitchell. Outside of work, Bill was an avid vegetable gardener, bowler, and home brewer. He was also an accomplished hammered dulcimer player. He and his wife Becky of 35 years (on the violin) were also a performing duo known as Peat and Barley, who entertained at weddings and wineries. Peat and Barley produced several CDs of music, some of which are still available; see http://www.peatandbarley.com/. Bill will be fondly remembered not only for his scientific contributions, but for the joy he brought to his many friends and colleagues. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Nils-Arne Dreier [log in to unmask] Date: October 19, 2019 Subject: Ext Deadline, Advanced Solvers for Modern Architectures, Germany, Nov 2019 7th Applied Mathematics Symposium Munster Advanced Solvers for modern Architectures 2019 November 11-13, 2019 Munster, Germany https://www.uni-muenster.de/AMM/num/solvers2019/ EXTENDED DEADLINE: 27th October For exascale applications an increasing communication overhead and as well as local concurrency pose the major challenges to obtain a significant portion of the overall peak performance. In the last years these problems have gained a lot of attention and different techniques were developed to improve the scalability of linear and non-linear solvers. This workshop wants to gather experts to discuss topics like communication avoiding Krylov methods asynchronicity in solvers non-linear preconditioning strong preconditioners (GMG and DD) blocked and enriched Krylov methods. All these approaches aim at increasing local costs and reducing or hiding global communication costs, which will contribute to better scalability. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Pamela Bye [log in to unmask] Date: October 18, 2019 Subject: Cryptography and Coding, UK, Dec 2019 16 - 18 December 2019, St Anne's College, University of Oxford The mathematical theory and practice of both cryptography and coding underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage.

Post-Doctoral Research Project University of Sao Paulo at Sao Carlos ICMC - Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Location: Sao Carlos - Sao Paulo State-Brazil Title: Normal Forms and Centre Manifold reductions for Networks Supervisor: Tiago Pereira Job description/Requirements: A network encodes a structure of individual units (the nodes), together with the information of how these units depend on each other. We project focus on qualitative changes in the dynamics of networks as one or more parameters vary. One can, for example, think about the emergence of steady state points or periodic orbits, or the phenomenon whereby multiple cells in a network start displaying identical dynamical behaviour (synchronisation). Due to the nature of network structures, the symmetries are often more "exotic" than compact groups; equivariance of a dynamical system will often mean with respect to the action of a finite monoid (i.e. a group without inverses) and the representations in question will often be of semigroups. The project deals with such normal form reduction to understand how collective dynamics appear with such systems. Ofter such collective motion are only revealed through the hidden symmetry. The successful applicant will participate of a collaborative effort being developed by the Brazilian team headed by Prof. Tiago Pereira and an English team headed by Prof. Jeroen Lamb. A doctoral degree in Applied Mathematics, Engineering or a related area is required, together with strong background on dynamical reduction techniques, such as normal form theory, Lyapunov-Smith reduction and center manifold reduction.
