So far, close to 400 mathematicians have visited the proof. I have received only four claims of an error, each of which turned out to be the result of a misunderstanding of the basic argument. I am now seeking a mathematician to carefully review the proof, and then help me prepare a version for submission to an appropriate journal. Needless to say, a one-page proof of such a long-standing conjecture will arouse considerable interest, with corresponding prestige for the mathematician who helped prepare it for publication. I will offer a consulting fee, and not require more than one hour of work per week. The proof is "Current Possible Proof", p. 1, in "A Possible Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture" on occampress.com. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Paul Houston [log in to unmask] Date: February 16, 2023 Subject: Adaptive Methods & Model Reduction for PDEs, UK, May 2023 We are pleased to announce the 2023 LMS Research School "Adaptive Methods & Model Reduction for PDEs", which will be organised as an in- person event at The University of Nottingham, 15-19 May 2023: www.tinyurl.com/wuwmc2kp The aim of the School is to expose young researchers to state-of-the-art model reduction and adaptivity techniques for PDEs, showcasing their interplay and core position within computational modelling, machine learning and engineering applications.

Post-Doctoral Research Project, University of Sao Paulo at Sao Carlos ICMC - Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Location: Sao Carlos - Sao Paulo State - Brazil Title: Normal Forms and Sparse Reconstruction for Networks Supervisor: Prof Tiago Pereira Job description/Requirements: A network encodes a structure of individual units (the nodes), together with the information of how these units depend on each other. We project focus on qualitative changes in the dynamics of networks as one or more parameters vary. One can, for example, think about the emergence of steady state points or periodic orbits, or the phenomenon whereby multiple cells in a network start displaying identical dynamical behaviour (synchronisation). Due to the nature of network structures, the symmetries are often more 'exotic' than compact groups; equivariance of a dynamical system will often mean with respect to the action of a finite monoid (i.e. a group without inverses) and the representations in question will often be of semigroups. The project deals with such normal form reduction to understand how collective dynamics appear with such systems. When data is collected from such networks recent evidence suggest that if one aims to enforce sparsity of the reconstruction only the normal form of the network can be recovered. In this case, the normal form may be a hypergraph instead of a network. This project envision to classify these reconstruction scenarios. The successful applicant will participate of a collaborative effort being developed by the Brazilian team headed by Prof. Tiago Pereira. A doctoral degree in Applied Mathematics, Engineering or a related area is required, together with strong background on dynamical reduction techniques, such as normal form theory, Lyapunov-Smith reduction and center manifold reduction. Candidates with proven skills in performing independent scientific research and in programming for high performance computing environments will be preferred.

Candidates are expected to hold a M.Sc. in mathematics, with a solid background in numerical analysis (for PDEs); some computational experience is an advantage. The topic of the PhD work will focus on the development and analysis of computational methods for nonlinear PDE models (with applications in the natural sciences). Besides contributing to the vibrant research environment in the Mathematical Institute, the successful applicant will assist in teaching tutorial classes and exam marking; some minor administrative duties are also included. A professional command of English language is mandatory; some knowledge of German is preferred. An attractive salary is offered in accordance with the regulations of the Swiss National Science Foundation. The starting date of the position is flexible, but no later than August 1, 2023. Review of applications will begin immediately. Applicants are required to submit a brief letter of motivation, CV, and copies of university transcripts and diploma (all in a single pdf file). Letters of recommendation are optional and welcome.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect papers containing very recent results in fixed-point theory in correlation with the symmetry concept and related topics, which will be useful and helpful for researchers working in these areas. This Special Issue will accept for publication high-quality research papers on fixed-point methods and related topics. More information can be found at: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues/Symmetry_Nonlinear_Analysis_Fixed_Point_Theory If you are interested, please contact the Symmetry Editorial Office ([log in to unmask]), or the leading Guest Editor, Dr. Oluwatosin Mewomo ([log in to unmask]). ------------------------------------------------------- End of Digest **************************
