OPM is a small collection of CUTEst unconstrained and bound-constrained nonlinear optimization problems, which can be used in Matlab for testing optimization algorithms directly (i.e. without installing additional software). OPM is available at https://github.com/gratton7/OPM Serge Gratton, Philippe Toint ------------------------------------------------------- From: Lutz Angermann [log in to unmask] Date: December 10, 2021 Subject: New Book, Numerical Methods for Elliptic and Parabolic PDEs Numerical Methods for Elliptic and Parabolic Partial Differential Equations by Peter Knabner and Lutz Angermann with contributions by Andreas Rupp Texts in Applied Mathematics, vol. 44 This graduate-level text provides an application oriented introduction to the numerical methods for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. It covers finite difference, finite element, and finite volume methods, interweaving theory and applications throughout. The book examines modern topics such as adaptive methods, multilevel methods, and methods for convection-dominated problems and includes detailed illustrations and extensive exercises. For students with mathematics major it is an excellent introduction to the theory and methods, guiding them in the selection of methods and helping them to understand and pursue finite element programming. For engineering and physics students it provides a general framework for the formulation and analysis of methods. This second edition sees additional chapters on mixed discretization and on generalizing and unifying known approaches; broader applications on systems of diffusion, convection and reaction; enhanced chapters on node-centered finite volume methods and methods of convection-dominated problems, specifically treating the now-popular cell-centered finite volume method; and the consideration of realistic formulations beyond the Poisson's equation for all models and methods.

Deadline: PDSEC-22 deadline: 21 Jan 2022 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability.

The successful candidates will be hired in the Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research Group of the Physics Division and will work closely with scientists in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division. The goal of this multi-disciplinary project is to attack two open and connected problems in the utilization of large gamma-ray arrays, namely (1) to make significant improvements in Gamma-ray tracking as it applies to GRETINA/GRETA, and (2) to develop a new framework for the construction of nuclear level schemes which are the major end products of these world-class spectrometers. We aim to leverage advances in machine-learning, high-performance computing, and physics insight to achieve this goal. Candidates considered for the position must have: Recently received or near completion of their Ph.D. in physics, applied mathematics, computer science, or related discipline within the last 3 years. Graduate/postgraduate research in machine learning, and programming experience (Python, PyTorch, C/C++, or Fortran).

Expertise in Numerical Analysis is desirable. Preliminary research by Dr Brambley has shown that Finite Differences with a particular beneficial property (namely Summation-By-Parts) have behaviour similar to Finite Elements (further details are available on request). It is hoped that, by understanding this connection, both improved finite differences and a new class of finite elements might be discovered. Whilst this project is fundamentally of a theoretical nature, success might allow for a practical numerical proof-of-concept to be developed, perhaps with other collaborators in the field of aeroacoustics.

All projects involve close collaboration with life scientists and engineers. In some projects, the challenges are more in the modeling, in others, more in computing, so we are interested in persons with excellent skills in one or both of these areas. Excellent communications skills are a definite plus. Start dates are negotiable between early 2022 and Fall 2022.

The central research content is combined model- and data-based computer simulations based on multiscale or multi- physics methods for process and material optimization in electromobility, bioeconomy and personalized product design. The PhD topics deal with the development and application of numerical methods and their integration to multiscale models using gradient-based optimization methods, AI-based data analysis methods and/or database concepts. For more details and information about the specific research topics, please see the full job posting: https://recruiting.fraunhofer.de/Vacancies/64286/Description/1 For more information about the department Flow and Material Simulation visit: https://www.itwm.fraunhofer.de/en/departments/sms.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Vyacheslav Kungurtsev [log in to unmask] Date: December 12, 2021 Subject: PhD Positions, Polynomial Optimization, Czech Technical Univ PhD Position: Polynomial Optimization in Structural Engineering Polynomial optimization is an exciting area of research in optimization, just at the boundary between what is undecidable (continuous optimization) and what is efficiently solvable (easier conic optimization problems, such as linear and semidefinite programming). Sustained progress in the field over the past two decades has enabled new applications within many areas of engineering. There is a PhD studentship available in related topics, to be supervised by Jakub Marecek and Vyacheslav Kungurtsev (Dept. of Computer Science) and Didier Henrion (Dept. of Control Engineering) at the Czech Technical University, in close collaboration with the teams of Jan Zeman (Department of Mechanics) and Michal Kocvara (School of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham, UK). The position is full time and limited to 3 years, but can be extended in case of mutual interest. The studentship comes with a monthly salary similar to the average pay in Prague, the Czech Republic (approximately 45000 CZK per month before a notably low tax), and a travel budget. The Czech capital regularly ranks among five European cities within the world's best cities in the world to live in (cf. Time Out Magazine index for 2021) and CTU's offices are in a centrally-located palace with a view of Prague Castle. For more information, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague We seek candidates with Masters degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, Engineering or related disciplines, with excellent mathematical aptitude, as demonstrated by involvement in mathematical olympiads, relevant coursework, or undergraduate research. A preference is given to: candidates with experience with semidefinite programming; candidates with experience with structural engineering; candidates with experience in frequency-domain methods (e.g. signal processing); candidates with experience in programming in Python or MATLAB. We expect to start interviewing candidates in January 2022.
