Ghana Numerical Analysis as the name rightly suggests, aims to increase visibility of numerical analysis in Ghana through workshops, seminars and conferences. This year, we are organizing monthly online seminars. These seminars aim at providing a forum for exchanging ideas and presenting advances in the field of Numerical Analysis and its applications. The seminars will cover a wide range of topics in the field, such as Numerical Optimization, Numerical Linear Algebra, methods for the numerical solution and analysis of ODEs and PDEs, Approximation Theory and Algorithms, Numerical Bifurcation Analysis, in both the deterministic and stochastic setting, with a wide range of applications, from Image Processing to Machine Learning and Neural Networks, Complex Systems and other challenging problems of contemporary interest in Science and Engineering. Please, have a look at https://sites.google.com/view/ghananumericals/seminars/2021 for details. The seminars will be delivered by Google Meet and the attendees are kindly required to sign-up on the web site to receive the link. We look forward to your participation! ------------------------------------------------------- From: Albert S. Berahas [log in to unmask] Date: May 13, 2021 Subject: Modeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications, HYBRID, Aug 2021 We wish to invite you to contribute to the 21st annual "Modeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications" (MOPTA 2021) conference, August 2-4, 2021. The MOPTA conference brings together researchers from a broad range of optimization areas, working on theoretical or applied aspects, or both. For more information, please see: http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/. Our objective is to offer presentations and discussions of exciting new developments from different areas of optimization, and to provide a convenient setting which allows increased interaction among the participants. We welcome contributed presentations, and invite you to organize a session(s) centered around your area of expertise. The MOPTA conference sessions consist of (blocks of) three 30-minute presentations, including Q&A. Please register and submit your abstract via the MOPTA 2021 website (http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/). The conference website offers more information. Current University, Commonwealth, and National guidelines indicate that we will be able to offer an in-person component in MOPTA 2021 with an option for remote attendance. This format accommodates the wishes of participants and speakers who would like to attend remotely, while still offering the in-person experience for those who would like to attend in- person. So, MOPTA 2021 will be offered in an innovative dual VIRT/IPVS mode. Participants will select between two attendance modes (all guests will experience the talks in the same format): - Virtual (VIRT), as meetings have been held during the pandemic (via Zoom). VIRT participants and speakers will actually not be able to tell that there is another mode. - In-Person Virtual-Sharing (IPVS), as on-campus meetings were held before the pandemic with the single exception that all speakers will present remotely. IPVS participants will be able to attend talks together in rooms equipped with large screens and room sound system. Questions are asked via personal laptops and/or cell phones in the Zoom chat. IPVS participants will share an in-person social program (coffee breaks, lunches, dinners, etc.). IPVS speakers will be assigned a room/office to deliver their talks remotely using their laptops, and can then interact in-person with IPVS participants after their virtual talks. Abstract Deadline: June 28, 2021 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jacob Schroder [log in to unmask] Date: May 13, 2021 Subject: Parallel-in-Time Workshop, HYBRID, Aug 2021 Michigan Tech is pleased to host the 10th Workshop on Parallel Time Integration, August 1 - August 5, 2021. Invited plenary speakers include: Professor George Karniadakis (Brown University), Professor Ulrich Langer (Johannes Kepler University Linz), Dr. Carol Woodward (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), and Dr. Ben Southworth (Los Alamos National Laboratory). For more information, please visit http://conferences.math.mtu.edu/ Due to the ever changing dynamics of the pandemic, this conference will be held in a hybrid format. Participants have the option to present and attend virtually or in-person. There is no registration fee for either option. CDC guidelines for masks and social distancing will be observed. We strongly encourage that in-person attendees be fully vaccinated. Travel support is available for early career researchers (students or researchers who have held their graduate degree for fewer than ten years at the time of application). Travel support requests received by June 20, 2021 are assured of full consideration. Priority is given to participants giving a presentation. Important Dates: PinT 2021: August 1 - August 5, 2021 Travel Support Application: June 20, 2021 Hotel Reservations: June 30, 2021 Abstract Deadline: July 20, 2021 Registration Deadline: July 20, 2021 We kindly ask that you register using the online registration form: https://conferences.math.mtu.edu/registration/ The registration process allows you to apply for travel support and submit abstracts. There is no registration fee to attend this conference!
