Implemented algorithms include reduced basis methods for parametric linear and non-linear problems, as well as system-theoretic methods such as balanced truncation or IRKA. All algorithms in pyMOR are formulated in terms of abstract interfaces for seamless integration with external PDE solver packages. Moreover, pure Python implementations of finite element and finite volume discretizations using the NumPy/SciPy scientific computing stack are provided for getting started quickly. Highlights of this release are: - Parameter derivatives of solutions and outputs - Neural network reductor for non-stationary problems - New tutorials You can read the full release notes at https://docs.pymor.org/2020.2.0/release_notes/all.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Claude Brezinski [log in to unmask] Date: December 05, 2020 Subject: New Book, Extrapolation and Rational Approximation Claude Brezinski, Michela Redivo-Zaglia Extrapolation and Rational Approximation The Works of the Main Contributors Springer Nature, Switzerland, 2020 https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030584177 This book paints a fresco of the field of extrapolation and rational approximation over the last several centuries to the present through the works of their primary contributors. It can serve as an introduction to the topics covered, including extrapolation methods, Pade approximation, orthogonal polynomials, continued fractions, Lanczos-type methods etc.; it also provides in depth discussion of the many links between these subjects. A highlight of this book is the presentation of the human side of the fields discussed via personal testimonies from twelve contemporary researchers, their anecdotes, and their exclusive remembrances of some of the "actors." This book shows how research in this domain started and evolved. Biographies of eighteen other scholars encountered have also been included. An important branch of mathematics is described in its historical context, opening the way to new developments. After a mathematical introduction, the book contains a precise description of the mathematical landscape of these fields spanning from the 19th century to the first part of the 20th. After an analysis of the works produced after that period (in particular those of Richardson, Aitken, Shanks, Wynn, and others), the most recent developments and applications in several domains (theoretical physics, number theory, computer science and control theory, combinatorics, statistics, integrable systems, general relativity) are reviewed. Chapters: 1-General overview; 2-Mathematical background; 3-The mathematical landscape up to the mid-twentieth century; 4-The life of Peter Wynn; 5-The works of Peter Wynn; 6-Commentaries and further developments; 7-Testimonies; 8-Vitae; As a conclusion; Acknowledgments; Bibliographies; Index ------------------------------------------------------- From: GEORGE ANASTASSIOU [log in to unmask] Date: December 05, 2020 Subject: New Book, Generalized Fractional Calculus Generalized Fractional Calculus: new advancements and applications George A. Anastassiou, SPRINGER, HEIDELBERG, NEW YORK, 2021 Computational and fractional analysis play more and more a central role in now days either by themselves or because they cover a great variety of applications in the real world. We apply generalized fractional differentiation techniques of Caputo, Canavati and Conformable types to a great variety of integral inequalities e.g. of Ostrowski and Opial types, etc. Some of these are extended to Banach space valued functions. These inequalities have also great impact in numerical analysis, stochastics and fractional differential equations. We continue with generalized fractional approximations by positive sublinear operators which derive from the presented Korovkin type inequalities, we include also abstract cases. We present also multivariate complex Korovkin quantitative approximation theory. It follows -fractional integral inequalities of Ostrowski and Polya types. Our results are weighted so they provide a great variety of cases and applications. The second part of the book deals with the quantitative fractional Korovkin type approximation of stochastic processes. We lay there the foundations of stochastic fractional calculus. We consider both Caputo and Conformable fractional directions and we derive regular and trigonometric results. Our positive linear operators can be expectation operator commutative or not. This book results are expected to find applications in many areas of pure and applied mathematics and stochastics. As such this monograph is suitable for researchers, graduate students, and seminars of the above disciplines, also to be in all science and engineering libraries. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kyle Davis [log in to unmask] Date: December 10, 2020 Subject: preCICE Workshop, ONLINE, Feb 2021 After the success of the 1st international preCICE Workshop in 2020, we are happy to announce the 2nd international preCICE Workshop on February 22-25, 2021, hosted virtually by the University of Stuttgart.

The successful applicant will be considered for funding for up to 3.5 years on EPSRC stipend level in addition to tuition fees. This PhD project will use state-of-the-art statistical methods to analyse the dynamics involved in fisheries and develop new tools for managing the ecological and financial impacts of fishing. Fishing competes with predators, such as birds and seals, for resources and might impact their populations. The analysis of ecosystem dynamics will make use of extensive data including remote sensed environmental variables and time series of bird, mammal and fish population and performance estimates. The results of this analysis will then be used in a simulation framework to develop and test feedback methods for managing the fisheries to control the risks to marine ecosystems while maintaining economic benefits of fishing. In addition to working on this project, the PhD candidate will be expected to enrol in several PhD level courses in the Maxwell Institute during the first year of the PhD. For full consideration, please apply by December 31st 2020. The starting date is in September 2021 or sooner.
