Subject: Summer School, Fractional and Other Nonlocal Models, Spain, May 2018


Summer School on Fractional and Other Nonlocal Models
Dates: May 28-31, 2018
Venue: Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM)
Alameda Mazarredo 14, Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain

In many settings, differential equation models do not always provide
adequate fidelity to the continuum phenomena being modeled. This
occurs in diverse areas such as crack nucleation and propagation in
solids, charge transport in semiconductors, subsurface and polymer
flows, and animal migration in ecological systems, just to name a
few. A common feature in these and other settings is that interactions
can occur at a distance and not just in infinitesimal neighborhoods as
is the case for differential equation models. The summer school
focuses on the continuum modeling, analysis, simulation, and numerical
analysis of settings that feature such nonlocal interaction. Although
the universe of continuum nonlocal models is large, two approaches
have gained popularity due to their wide applicability. On one hand,
we have fractional derivative models that can be used to describe many
non-Fickian diffusion processes that are observed in practice. Both
spatial and temporal fractional derivative models are used for this
purpose. On the other hand, we find integral equation models that can
treat problems such as those in solid mechanics, which cannot be
modeled using fractional derivatives. These integral equation models
can be viewed as generalizations of fractional derivative models and
can be treated through the use of a nonlocal vector calculus. The
general aim of the school is for students to become familiar with
these two approaches. In both cases, the lectures cover models arising
in applications, the mathematical analysis of the models, algorithms
for obtaining approximate solutions, and the numerical analysis of
those algorithms. In addition, the close connection between some of
the models discussed and stochastic processes is also a subject of
interest. Participants who are already working on problems related to
the subject matter of the school can present a lecture about their own
research. Attendance to the Summer School is free of charge but
registration through our online system is required. Full-board
accommodation at a discounted price (short distance from the school
venue) is still available for participants.

Subject: Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, Cuba, Jun 2018


The IX PanAmerican Workshop in applied mathematics and computational
science will be held in Varadero, Cuba June 11-18 2018 The objective
of these workshops is to create cooperative research activities based
on international collaboration and to promote the development of
applied and computational mathematics in Latin America. To accomplish
these goals, we must bring together practicing applied mathematicians
and computational scientists in the Americas to exchange research
information, and create a forum for researchers to refine, enhance and
implement research activities. The purpose is to continue to center in
areas of applied and computational mathematics, such as, computational
fluid dynamics, numerical optimization, high-performance computing,
grid generation, computer algebra, and dynamical systems aimed to
evaluate data related to areas of environmental, social and economic
development in the
Americas.http://www.csrc.sdsu.edu/panam2018/index.html
