The Central Region Conference on Numerical Analysis and Dynamical Systems

该奖项将提供支持，以支付与会者的费用，特别是初级研究人员，妇女和科学界代表性不足的群体的数学家，参加2013年5月3日至5月4日在堪萨斯大学校园举行的“中部地区数值分析和动力系统会议”。会议的动机是在过去的几十年中，数值分析和动力系统之间的互动和合作增加。数值分析是科学计算的核心，涉及研究、开发和分析用于获得真实的世界问题的各种数学模型的数值解的算法。采用模拟来缩小昂贵的实验程序的应用范围，并提供对观察到的实验现象背后的原理的洞察，通常是具有成本效益的。动力系统理论是应用数学的一个领域，研究复杂动力系统的行为，通常采用定性方法。定性分析已被发现是非常有用的鲁棒性和可靠的数值算法的发展，并在证明数值结果，数值模拟已日益成为一个强大的工具，在动力系统，并已被广泛用于获得定量表征复杂的动态系统，提供必要的动机，并验证理论成果。除了促进数值分析和动力系统研究人员之间的更大的互动，中部地区数值分析和动力系统会议将提供一个论坛，其中年轻的研究人员，研究生和博士后研究员在美国中部地区可以熟悉当前的问题在研究的前沿，提出自己的工作，并与该领域的资深数学家交流。此外，会议将为数值分析和动力系统之间的跨学科合作提供强大的动力。最后，会议将在促进应用数学和加强该地区大学的应用数学小组方面发挥积极作用。

This award will provide support to defray expenses of participants, especially junior investigators, women and mathematicians from under-represented groups in the sciences to attend the conference ``The Central Region Conference on Numerical Analysis and Dynamical Systems'' from May 3 to May 4, 2013 on the campus of the University of Kansas. The conference is motivated by the increased interaction and collaboration between numerical analysis and dynamical systems in the last decades. Numerical analysis is at the core of scientific computing and involves the study, development, and analysis of algorithms for obtaining numerical solutions to various mathematical models of real world problems. It is often cost effective to employ simulations to narrow down where expensive experimental procedures should be applied and to provide insight into the principles behind observed experimental phenomena. Dynamical systems theory is an area of applied mathematics where the behavior of complex dynamical systems is studied and qualitative methods are typically employed. Qualitative analysis has been found to be extremely useful in the development of robust and reliable numerical algorithms and in justifying numerical results, and numerical simulation has increasingly become a powerful tool in dynamical systems and has been used extensively to gain quantitative characterization of complex dynamic systems, provide necessary motivations, and verify theoretical findings.The conference will serve several goals. In addition to facilitating greater interaction between researchers in numerical analysis and dynamical systems, The Central Region Conference on Numerical Analysis and Dynamical Systems will provide a forum in which young researchers, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the Central region of the United States can acquaint themselves with current issues at the forefront of research, present their own work, and interact with senior mathematicians in the field. Furthermore, the conference will provide strong motivation for interdisciplinary collaboration between numerical analysis and dynamical systems. Finally, the conference will play an active role in motivating applied mathematics and strengthening applied mathematics groups at universities in the region.
