These codes make use of the "lightning Laplace" algorithm, involving rational functions with poles exponentially clustered near corner singularities. Typical problems are solved to 6-10 digits of accuracy all the way up to the corners in less than a second on a laptop, with subsequent function evaluations requiring microseconds per point. Details can be found at https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/lightning.html, which shows example plots produced by executing laplace('L') and confmap('iso'). CONFMAP requires Chebfun in the Matlab path (because it uses AAA rational approximations), but LAPLACE does not. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Heike Fassbender [log in to unmask] Date: March 23, 2020 Subject: CFP, Organize the Next Householder Symposium Against the backdrop of COVID-19's spread, the Householder Committee has decided to cancel the Householder Symposium 2020 in Selva di Fasano.

The mathematical description of these problems is invariably in terms of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). For practical problems these systems do not possess analytical solutions and therefore it is necessary to solve them numerically. It is important that the system of algebraic equations obtained as a result of discretisation is a compatible (mimetic) and physically consistent system so that the numerical approximation is an accurate representation of the physical solution to the problem. The governing systems of PDEs is written in terms of an equivalent system of first-order differential equations which is subsequently formulated in terms of a least squares functional. The exceptional stability of least-squares formulations has led to the widespread use of low-order finite elements in their discretization. Unfortunately, these methods are only approximately conservative, which generally leads to violation of fundamental physical properties, such as loss of mass conservation. In many cases this drawback can outweigh the potential advantages of least squares methods. As a result, improving the conservation properties of least-squares methods is crucially important.
