Using a variational perspective, the author incorporates important restrictions like constraints for control and state, as well as the state system itself, into the equivalent variational reformulation of the problem. The fundamental issues of existence of optimal solutions, optimality conditions, and numerical approximation are then examined from this variational viewpoint. 2022 / xii + 189 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611977-10-3 / Price $69.00 Bookstore link: https://my.siam.org/Store/Product/viewproduct/?ProductId=42453611 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Ivan Georgiev [log in to unmask] Date: July 30, 2022 Subject: Numerical Methods and Applications, Bulgaria, Aug 2022 Tenth International Conference on Numerical Methods and Applications August 22 - 26, 2022, Borovets, Bulgaria The conference will be held in hybrid mode - on site and online.

Barrenechea [log in to unmask] Date: July 28, 2022 Subject: Call to Organize, Boundary and Interior Layers, 2024 The conference in Boundary and Interior Layers, BAIL 2022 is currently being organised by Gabriela Armentano (and her colleagues), and will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during November 28 to December 2, 2022 (see http://mate.dm.uba.ar/~bail2022/ for more info). It has been customary to announce at each BAIL conference the location of the succeeding one, and this is the reason for my email. On behalf of the BAIL International Steering Committee, we invite proposals for the hosting of BAIL 2024. As usual the conference should run from a Monday to a Friday; in principle it can be held at any time during 2024, but potential organisers should note that in general most of the participants come from Europe, so it's desirable to hold the conference at a time that does not clash with teaching commitments in many European countries. The location should be somewhere that is easily accessible by international travel. The BAIL International Steering Committee chooses the location of each BAIL conference but it has no financial resources. Thus the organisers of BAIL 2024 have to finance the conference from their own resources: registration fees, grants, support from the hosting institution, etc. To make a formal proposal, please send me an email by 31 October 2022 indicating: (i) you are willing to organise BAIL 2024, and your institution has lecture room facilities suitable for hosting the conference that will be available at the proposed time of BAIL 2024 [e.g., they are not used for the teaching of classes at the time of the conference] (ii) conference participants can find satisfactory accommodation in the neighbourhood of the conference (iii) how easy it is for international travelers to reach your host city (iv) approximate dates (i.e., in which month will it be held?) plus some explanation for this choice [e.g. local climate, but also consider availability of participants, many of whom are confined to academic year holidays] (v) a brief statement of your plans for financial support [we know it can't be guaranteed 100% in advance but we'd like to know that you have some ideas for solving this potential problem] (vi) anything else relevant that comes to mind, e.g., if you have experience in organising conferences, if you expect to have any help from others in organising the conference, etc. Your proposal does not have to be lengthy, 1 page may be sufficient provides it addresses the above numbered points. If you are possibly interested in making a proposal but you are unsure, or if you have any questions, please feel free to email me ([log in to unmask]) to discuss these matters before making a formal proposal. Also, if you can think of any person that might be interested in hosting a BAIL conference, please forward this email to her/him. The final decision for the location of BAIL 2024 will be taken by a vote of the BAIL International Steering Committee, of which I am the Chairperson. Once the location and dates have been agreed by this committee, the local organiser has complete control over the conference (selection of speakers, talks timetable, deciding the registration fee, etc. etc.), but is welcome to consult the committee for advice. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Matthias Schlottbom [log in to unmask] Date: August 01, 2022 Subject: Assistant/Associate Professor Position, Univ of Twente The University of Twente is aiming to appoint an Assistant/Associate Professor in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing in the Department of Applied Mathematics.

This research will be jointly supervised by Dr. Mauricio Rincon Bonilla from the Basque Center for Applied mathematics (BCAM) and Dr. Iban Quintana from Tekniker. HE is connected to the fast diffusion of hydrogen atoms through the solid material lattice, often by quantum mechanical tunnelling (even at room temperature) followed by interaction with crystal defects, such as vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries. Despite great efforts, this process is still poorly understood. Moreover, the in-silico analysis of realistic, multicomponent steel specimens remains a great computational challenge. The student will combine micromechanical and structural characterization techniques to study the behaviour of hydrogen-charged steels prepared at Tekniker. He/she will combine these analyses with hydrogen diffusion simulations developed and performed at BCAM. With this information, we aim to propose strategies for the development of new steels, heat treatments or coatings against HE. Modelling activities will initially focus on the atomistic scale, combining quantum mechanical methods, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo schemes. The insights obtained from these studies will be incorporated into a multiscale framework to allow direct comparison with macroscopic experiments, as well as the parameterization of continuous phase field or finite elements models.
