The work honored is his PhD thesis Numerical solution of a Fredholm
integral equation of the second kind related to induction heating.
Further winners were delivered diplomas of honor. The second position
was awarded to Dr Radek Fucik from the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and
Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague for
his PhD thesis Advanced numerical methods for modelling two-phase flow
in heterogeneous porous media. The third position belongs to Dr Martin
Cermak from the VSB-Technical University of Ostrava who presented his
PhD thesis Scalable algorithms for solving elasto- plastic problems.
Further diplomas of honor were delivered to MS theses. The first
position in this category was taken by Matyas Novak from the Faculty
of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague for his
thesis Symmetric sparse matrix eigenproblem connected with the
computation of electron states. The second position was awarded to Jan
Papez from the same Faculty for his thesis Estimates of algebraic
error and stopping criteria in numerical solution of partial
differential equations. The third position was shared by Jiri Blazek
(Czech Technical University in Prague) with his MS thesis and Eliska
Janouchova from the same University with her BS thesis.
The Prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech
mathematician Ivo Babuska, Institute for Computational Engineering and

Subject: New Book, Computational Mathematical Modeling
Announcing the December 17, 2012, publication by SIAM of:
Computational Mathematical Modeling: An Integrated Approach Across
Scales, by Daniela Calvetti and Erkki Somersalo
2012 / xii + 222 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611972-47-4 /
List Price $69.00 / SIAM Member Price $48.30 / Order Code MM17
Interesting, real-world mathematical modeling problems are complex and
can usually be studied at different scales. The scale at which the
investigation is carried out is one of the factors that determines the
type of mathematics most appropriate to describe the problem. This
book concentrates on two modeling paradigms: the macroscopic, in which
the authors describe phenomena in terms of time evolution via ordinary
differential equations, and the microscopic, which requires knowledge
of random events and probability. The text emphasizes the development
of computational skills to construct predictive models and analyze the
results. To elucidate the concepts, a wealth of examples and portions
of MATLAB code used by the authors are included.
It is designed for classroom use and has been extensively tested by
the authors. The homework problems have been carefully designed to
develop students’ computational skills. The book is based on an
unorthodox combination of deterministic and probablistic methodologies
that are naturally bridged through examples; it painlessly introduces
students to advanced themes in a natural progression and includes
suggestions for further reading.

Subject: New Book, Semidefinite Optimization and Convex Algebraic Geometry
Announcing the December 17, 2012, publication by SIAM of:
Semidefinite Optimization and Convex Algebraic Geometry, edited by
Grigoriy Blekherman, Pablo A. Parrilo, and Rekha R. Thomas
2012 / xx + 476 pages / Softcover / ISBN: 978-1-611972-28-3 /
List Price $129.00 / SIAM Member Price $90.30 / Order Code MO13
This book provides a self-contained, accessible introduction to the
mathematical advances and challenges resulting from the use of
semidefinite programming in polynomial optimization. This quickly
evolving research area with contributions from the diverse fields of
convex geometry, algebraic geometry, and optimization is known as
convex algebraic geometry.
Each chapter addresses a fundamental aspect of convex algebraic
geometry. The book begins with an introduction to nonnegative
polynomials and sums of squares and their connections to semidefinite
programming and quickly advances to several areas at the forefront of
current research. These include semidefinite representability of
convex sets, duality theory from the point of view of algebraic
geometry, and nontraditional topics such as sums of squares of complex
forms and noncommutative sums of squares polynomials.
Suitable for a class or seminar, with exercises aimed at teaching the
topics to beginners, the book serves as a point of entry into the
subject for readers from multiple communities such as engineering,
mathematics, and computer science. A guide to the necessary background
material is available in the appendix.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Comp and Applied Math, INRIA near Paris
TITLE: Interpolation techniques for optimal control applications
TEAM: Commands (INRIA Saclay, CMAP Ecole Polytechnique)
RESEARCH CONTEXT:
Models for real-world optimal control problems can include complex
functions, for which no analytic expression is available. A common
workaround is then to use interpolation techniques on some data sets
obtained by measures or simulations. Depending on the application
field, these data sets can have several flaws such as missing values,
noise and/or low precision, insufficient sampling. We are interested
in developing interpolation techniques that can address these issues
for use in optimisation methods.
Commands (commands.saclay.inria.fr) is a team devoted to the
optimization of dynamical systems, from the theoretical aspects to
numerical simulations. We started in 2010 the development of a toolbox
for optimal control problems: Bocop (http://bocop.org), whose features
are begin expanded since then.
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER WORK DESCRIPTION:
The task is to devise interpolation methods that can handle
incomplete, noisy or badly sampled data sets. The work goes from the
mathematical study to the actual software implementation, as part of
Bocop. The position is based at the CMAP Ecole Polytechnique, near
Paris. (www.cmap.polytechnique.fr).
REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND BACKGROUND:
Phd in applied mathematics, with some programming experience in C/C++.
Knowledge of optimisation, interpolation or automatic differentiation
techniques is a plus.

optimal control background and excellent computer programming skills
(e.g. in Matlab or Python) who have no prior experience in
hydropower. The PI's on the project have expertise in dynamic

develop a software system based on this research that will be
implemented to guide hydropower policy over many reservoirs for many
years.
