Special session “Mathematical and Computational Optimisation” in 60th AustMS meeting

Dear Colleagues,

The 60th annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society will be held by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University from the 5–8 December 2016. A website for the conference is available at:

http://maths.anu.edu.au/events/austms-meeting-2016

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session “Mathematical and Computational Optimisation” and hope that you will agree to present a 20-minutes’ talk.

This special session will focus on new mathematical and computational developments and their applications in continuous and discrete optimisation, as well as in optimal control and calculus of variations.

Our special session’s field aligns with that of the recently created special interest group, Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation (MoCaO) https://mocao.mathsig.org.

Hence, if you are a member of MoCaO, please consider presenting at our special session!

Please do encourage participation of your postdocs and doctoral students at our special session. Student members of AustMS who are giving a conference talk at the meeting may be eligible for a travel costs subsidy. An online form for claiming travel expenses is available at the link

Please let us know your interest by September 1st, 2016.

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you at our special session

The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation

The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation will be held at UNSW in Sydney, Australia, on February 13–17, 2017. See the website

http://www.hda2017.unsw.edu.au

The High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA) Workshop is a series of biennial international meetings covering current research on all numerical aspects of high-dimensional problems. This seventh workshop will be held at UNSW in Sydney (HDA2017), with participants again welcomed from all around the world.

The scope of the seventh workshop ranges from high-dimensional approximation theory over computational methods to engineering and scientific applications. Topics include, but are not limited to,

  • Sparse grid methods
  • Quasi-Monte Carlo methods
  • Tensor decompositions
  • Polynomial chaos expansions
  • Sparse approximations
  • Reduced basis methods
  • Multi-level methods
  • Bayesian inversion
  • Uncertainty quantification

Participation is open to all interested in high-dimensional computational mathematics and science.

A key feature of this workshop is that there are no parallel sessions and generally all talks will be of equal length. Participants are welcome to present work in progress and there will be time set aside for informal discussions. The number of talks will be limited. It is not essential that everyone gives a talk. Collaborators are encouraged to coordinate and elect a representative to present joint work.

In this workshop we will honour and celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor Markus Hegland. Markus is a founding member of the HDA workshop series. He is also a well respected leader in computational mathematics and optimization in Australia. We hope to take this opportunity to engage the HDA global community with other computational mathematics groups in Australia.

To assist us with planning, please go to the website at your earliest convenience to register especially if you are interested in giving a talk. Travel, visa and accommodation information is already available. More information about registration fee payment and abstract submission will be available on the website later in the year.

We look forward to welcoming you in Sydney!

AustMS Special Session – Computational Mathematics (First Call)

Dear Colleagues,

The 60th annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society will be held by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University from the 5–8 December 2016. A website for the conference is available at:

http://maths.anu.edu.au/events/austms-meeting-2016

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session “Computational Mathematics” and hope that you will agree to present a 20-minutes’ talk. The focus of this special session will be on numerical analysis and approximation theory and includes numerical techniques for partial differential equations, inverse problems and regularisation and parallel numerical algorithms.

This year it will be 10 years since the joint minisymposium on computational mathematics and optimisation (Macquarie University 2006) and one year since the establishment of the AustMS special interest group in mathematics of computation and optimisation (MoCaO). Corresponding to the two core focus areas of MoCaO we do have two special sessions as we did since 2007:

* Mathematics of Computation: special session in Computational Mathematics
* Mathematics of Optimisation: special session in Mathematical and Computational Optimisation

We encourage members of MoCaO to participate in these two sessions! AMSI support for student members is available, see
http://research.amsi.org.au/travel-funding/

For more information about MoCaO see
https://mocao.mathsig.org

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you at our special session
