Sampaio [log in to unmask] Date: February 07, 2020 Subject: DEFT-FUNNEL release, a derivative-free global optimization solver I am glad to announce the release of DEFT-FUNNEL, a free open-source global optimization solver for constrained grey-box and black-box problems in Matlab. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.12637 Github repos: https://github.com/phrsampaio/deft-funnel DEFT-FUNNEL builds local (at most fully quadratic) interpolation models from known function values for the black-box functions. It solves the nonlinear problem using a SQP trust-region-based algorithm where an active-set method is applied for handling the bound constraints and where the convergence is driven by a funnel bound on the constraint violation. In order to find the global minimum, it makes use of a clustering-based multistart technique called Multi-Level Single Linkage to select the starting points of the local searches done by the SQP algorithm. Please feel free to give any feedback. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Umberto Villa [log in to unmask] Date: February 04, 2020 Subject: Introducing hIPPYlib, a python-based inverse problems solver library We are pleased to announce the availability of hIPPYlib, an extensible software framework for solving large-scale deterministic and Bayesian inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) with (possibly) infinite-dimensional parameter fields. The development of this project is being supported by the National Science Foundation. The current version of hIPPYlib is 3.0 and can be downloaded from: https://hippylib.github.io This computational tool implements state-of-the-art scalable adjoint-based algorithms for PDE-based deterministic and Bayesian inverse problems. It builds on FEniCS for the discretization of the PDE and on PETSc for scalable and efficient linear algebra operations and solvers.

The last decade has seen tremendous improvements in ML methods and achievements in many application areas including (bio-) medical sciences, computer vision and finance to name but a few. Remarkably, while ML relies on mathematical models and tools, many ML algorithms do not have a rigorous mathematical foundation. One reason for this is that ML has been historically developed as a subfield of computer science rather than mathematics. Fundamental analysis questions are open, such as convergence and convergence rates, or the topology and geometry with which data should be studied. It is essential that the mathematical community contributes to ML and provides a solid underpinning of ML methods. This Symposium will advocate the connection between ML and many mathematical disciplines, such as numerical analysis, inverse problems, optimisation, statistics, optimal transport, dynamical systems and partial differential equations, in order to shed light into the mysterious mathematical pathways of ML. Call for Posters: In addition to the invited speakers, there is an opportunity for early career researchers to attend the Symposium and contribute a poster presentation. To apply, please submit a 1 page abstract here by 13th March 2020. Please note that places are limited, and notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 10th April 2020. Please note that participants presenting a poster are responsible for their own accommodation, subsistence and travel costs. However, there is no registration fee for participation. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Tibor Csendes [log in to unmask] Date: February 07, 2020 Subject: Global Optimization, Hungary, Sep 2020 The 15th Workshop on Global Optimization will be held on September 1st- 4th, 2020, at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Szeged, Hungary.

The research will focus on the theory and/or numerical analysis for partial differential equations that are degenerate, in one way or another: Such equations are characterized by non-linearity (e.g., non-linear hyperbolic conservation laws), irregular coefficients (e.g., continuity equations with irregular velocity fields), non-uniqueness of solutions, singular or irregular solutions (e.g., measure-valued solutions), as well as the presence of noise. Scientific questions may be addressed to Ulrik Skre Fjordholm ([log in to unmask]). The fellowships will be for a period of 3 years, with starting date no later than 01.10.2020. Please upload your complete application via the application portal https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/182291/phd-research-fellow-in-partial- differential-equations-and-stochastic-analysis no later than 29 February 2020. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jörn Sesterhenn [log in to unmask] Date: February 03, 2020 Subject: PhD Positions, Data-Assimilation and Model Reduction, Univ Bayreuth Topics: - PDE based data assimilation and model reduction of turbulent flow - Adjoint based Identification of Network Flow, Model Reduction and Sensitivity Analysis Description: In both projects an adjoint data assimilation method is used to identify a PDE-based or Network-based flow model for given data. The data comes either from experiments, a Direct Numerical Simulation of compressible turbulent flow, or from data of a large scale Network. Goal in both projects is a reduced order model and sensitivity analysis of the underlying unknown system. Prerequisits: Master or equivalent with specialisation in numerical analysis, numerical fluid mechanics, scientific computing or related, issued by a top International University; excellent mathematical skills are essential; experience with at least one of the following topics (in this order): data assimilation, adjoint methods, critical transitions of dynamical systems, nonlinear stability analysis, or development of (or substantial contribution to) a compressible DNS code for turbulent flows; experience in the use of a programming language: e.g. Fortran, C, Python, Matlab, Julia; fluency in English; basic German language skills and willingness to achieve a "Goethe-Zertifikat C1" within six months of employment; Teaching obligations: 5h/week during the semester. Salary level: TV-L E13.
