Ciarlet This self-contained textbook covers the fundamentals of two basic topics of linear functional analysis: locally convex spaces and harmonic analysis. Readers will find detailed introductions to topological vector spaces, distribution theory, weak topologies, the Fourier transform, the Hilbert transform, and Calderon-Zygmund singular integrals. An ideal introduction to more advanced texts, the book complements Ciarlet's earlier book in which these two topics were not treated. Pedagogical features such as detailed proofs and 93 problems make the book ideal for a one-semester first-year graduate course or for self-study. 2021 / viii + 195 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611976-64-9 / List $69.00 / SIAM Member $48.30 / OT175 SIAM Bookstore: https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=39106436 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Weizhang Huang [log in to unmask] Date: August 13, 2021 Subject: SIAM Central States Section Meeting, USA, Oct 2021 You are invited to submit mini-symposium proposals, contributed talks, or posters to The 6th Annual Meeting of SIAM Central States Section that will take place October 2-3, 2021 at University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas.

The school will consist of both introductory lectures to model order reduction and pyMOR as well as programming sessions. Participants are encouraged to bring their own problems to work on. Basic knowledge of Python and packages from the SciPy stack (NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib) is assumed. For participants without any prior experience with Python, we have linked introductory material on the school homepage. https://school.pymor.org/agenda You can register online before 3 September 2021.

We are planning to hold the event during the time period of Dec 3-11 2021 for 1 or 2 days, according to the response we receive from you. Before providing more details on these initiatives, we would like you to let us know your preferences by filling in this online form indicating activities you'd be interested in (it takes less than a minute!). https://forms.gle/ruChUwXn5iU1awM99 We will collect responses until Fri Aug 20th. Workshop on Nonlocal Codes: We are looking for researchers that are willing to share their code by providing links to their public repositories and by presenting their code during the workshop in a short-presentation format (approximately 10, depending on the number of submissions) followed by a longer session in a breakout room, open to all attendees. Codes can span all nonlocal models (ranging from peridynamics to fractional models) and all implementation aspects (discretization, solvers, etc.). Special Issue on JPER: After the workshop we will open submissions to JPER for papers focused on available implementations of discretizations of nonlocal models. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Kirk M. Soodhalter [log in to unmask] Date: August 14, 2021 Subject: Conference Honoring Daniel B. Szyld, USA, Mar 2022 There will be a conference honoring the 65th birthday of Prof. Daniel B. Szyld of Temple University. on March 24-26, 2022. The event will be held at Temple University and is expected to be live (and lively). This is a preliminary announcement to enable those who are interested to save the date; forthcoming announcements will contain further details regarding registration and links to a conference website. We will look forward to seeing you there, Kirk M. Soodhalter, Christopher Beattie, Howard Elman ------------------------------------------------------- From: Christoph Lehrenfeld [log in to unmask] Date: August 12, 2021 Subject: Postdoc Position, Research Software and Data, Univ of Goettingen The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1456 Mathematics of Experiment: The challenge of indirect measurements in the natural sciences at the Georg-August-University Gottingen started in 2021; more information on the CRC can be found at https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/628179.html. The infrastructure project supports the constituent projects to meet the highest standards in reproducible research and collaborate on software projects and data. Therefore, the University of Gottingen and the University Medical Center Gottingen offer positions for 1 PostDoc candidate (f/m/d). The position should be filled as soon as possible. The salary is in accordance with the German public service salary scale (E13 TV-L) for two years. The position is offered with 100 % of the regular working hours. For further details on the Collaborative Research Center, see here: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/crc1456 The application deadline for both PostDoc positions is August 31, 2021.

Data assimilation is a technique used to combine observational data with numerical models to understand the current state of a physical system. It is used on a daily basis to initialize numerical weather prediction models. In practice the best estimate of the state is found by minimising a large nonlinear least-squares objective function, often involving millions of variables. The sensitivity of the solution of this problem to changes in the data can be measured by its condition number, which also serves as a proxy for the amount of computational work needed to obtain the solution. In this project you will analyse mathematically the conditioning of new forms of the data assimilation problem using techniques from linear algebra and demonstrate the theoretical results using an idealized numerical model. You will have: A PhD in mathematics or with a strong mathematical content (or soon to obtain a PhD). Knowledge of linear algebra. Programming experience in Python, Matlab or Fortran. The project is fixed-term for 9.7 months, with a starting date as soon as possible, and is based in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Reading. Further information and details of how to apply can be found at https://jobs.reading.ac.uk/displayjob.aspx?jobid=8151 The closing date for applications is 10 September. For informal enquires please contact Dr Amos Lawless ([log in to unmask]) or Prof Nancy Nichols ([log in to unmask]). ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jan Zeman [log in to unmask] Date: August 11, 2021 Subject: Postdoc Positions, Quasicontinuum Methods, Czech Technical Univ A fully funded CTU Postdoc Fellowship in Quasi-Continuum Modeling of Lattice Structures and Metamaterials is available at the Czech Technical University in Prague. The offer is for two years, and the Fellow will be co-supervised by Ondrej Rokos (https://www.tue.nl/en/research/researchers/ondrej-rokos) and Milan Jirasek (https://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan). The call closes on 31 August 2021. Full details on the vacancy are available at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/665852 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jochen Schütz [log in to unmask] Date: August 10, 2021 Subject: PhD Position, Numerical Analysis, Hasselt Univ We are looking for a PhD student in numerical analysis. The present work is on the development and the analysis of a high-fidelity, parallel-in-space-and-time numerical solver that can cope with the singularly perturbed low-Mach Navier-Stokes equations in real-world settings. Main tasks will be the mathematical analysis of numerical methods and the efficient implementation thereof. Starting from simpler equations and prototypical settings, you will successively increase the complexity of the numerical model towards the desired application. You should not be afraid of both working on codes and of doing numerical analysis!
