The current version of the survey can be found at: http://bit.ly/la-sw-survey-2021 The aim is to put in "one place" the source code that is freely available for solving problems in numerical linear algebra, specifically dense, sparse direct and iterative systems and sparse iterative eigenvalue problems.

Anastassiou Constructive Fractional Analysis with Applications, SPRINGER 2021 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-71481-9 Constructive and Computational Fractional Analysis recently are more and more in the center of mathematics because their great applications in the real world. In this monograph all presented is original work by the author given at a very general level to cover a maximum number of cases in various applications. The author applies generalized fractional differentiation techniques of Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and Canavati types and of fractional variable order to various kinds of inequalities such as of Opial, Hardy, Hilbert-Pachpatte and on the spherical shell. He continues with E. R. Love left and right sides fractional integral inequalities. They follow fractional Landau inequalities, of left and right sides, univariate and multivariate, including ones for Semigroups.These are developed to all possible directions and right side multivariate fractional Taylor formulae are proven for the purpose. It continues with several Gronwall fractional inequalities of variable order. The last part of book includes constructive approximation theory, it presents: ordinary and fractional approximations by positive sublinear operators, and high order approximation by multivariate generalized Picard, Gauss-Weierstrass, Poisson-Cauchy and Trigonometric singular integrals. This book results are expected to find applications in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. 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: Christian Klingenberg [log in to unmask] Date: April 06, 2021 Subject: Hyperbolic Equations, Structure Preservation, ONLINE, Apr-Jun 2021 Our online series of seminar lectures "Hyperbolic equations, Structure preserving methods and other topics" will continue, see here https://ifm.mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~klingen/struct-pres-seminar.html The upcoming speakers are: April 9: Francois Dubois (Universite d'Orsay, France), April 16: Qin Li (Univ. of Wisc., Madison, USA), April 23: Mohammed Lemou (Rennes, France), April 30: Bojan Popov (Texas A&M USA), May 7: Claus-Dieter Munz (Stuttgart, Germany), May 14: Deep Ray (Univ.

Following last summer's very successful IMA Mathematics 2020 series collaboration with the Newton Gateway to Mathematics, we are pleased to announce two events for 2021 taking place this May. The first talk at the 6 May event will be from Nick Higham who has been awarded the Gold Medal award in recognition of outstanding contributions to mathematics and its applications. This will be followed by Jane Leeks and David Abrahams discussing future developments in mathematical sciences knowledge exchange. (See the event page for further details) On Tuesday 25 May, we will have two talks which feature the work of V-KEMS (Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange in Mathematical Sciences). Presentations will feature the work of two very successful virtual study groups, which ran in the earlier this year, on Reducing the Risk of Covid-10 Transmission on Trains and Modelling Solutions to the Impact of COVID-19 on Cardiovascular Waiting Lists. (See the event page for further details). Registration for both weeks is currently open at https://my.ima.org.uk/. Registration closes on 3 May for Week One and 21 May for Week Two. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Brigitte Forster [log in to unmask] Date: April 05, 2021 Subject: Call for Minisymposia, DMV-OMG Meeting, Germany, Sep 2021 We call for proposals for minisymposia for the DMV-OMG-conference which is held at Passau from September 27 to October 1 2021. https://www.uni-passau.de/dmv-oemg-2021/ We welcome applications in all areas of mathematics.
