International Workshop on Domain Decomposition Methods for PDEs

区域分解法是求解科学与工程中的偏微分方程组的一种重要而有力的方法。2015年8月3日至8日，将在加拿大新斯科舍省哈利法克斯的达尔豪西大学举办一次关于“偏微分方程组的区域分解方法”的国际研讨会。由于迫切需要开发稳健和高效的数值技术来模拟具有挑战性的问题，这个研讨会努力将理论和应用方面的研究人员聚集在一起。它将为计算数学家和应用研究人员之间的互动和合作提供一个平台。讲习班将传播在可持续发展研究方面的最新进展，并促进其进一步发展。该奖项为在美国的参与者支付费用提供支持，包括学生和初级研究人员，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生和初级研究人员。该车间由三个截然不同但又相互关联的部分组成。第一部分是为期两天的偏微分方程组DD方法的短期课程。第二个活动是由专门从事理论研究的数学家和来自应用领域的研究人员进行的研究级演讲。第三个组件为短期课程参与者、DD专家和应用研究人员提供分组互动会议。来自美国的数学和工程学参与者将参加研讨会并发表演讲。讲习班的活动，包括摘要、短期课程笔记和讲座幻灯片，将在讲习班网站上公布：www.math.mun.ca/anasc/ddworkshop.html。

Domain decomposition (DD) is an important and powerful methodology to solve partial differential equations arising from science and engineering. An international workshop on "Domain Decomposition Methods for Partial Differential Equations" will be held at Dalhousie University at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada during August 3-8, 2015. Driven by the urgent need to develop robust and efficient numerical techniques to simulate challenging problems, this workshop strives to bring together researchers in theory and application. It will provide a platform of interaction and collaboration between computational mathematicians and application researchers. The workshop will disseminate recent progress in DD research and promote its further development. This award provides support to defray expenses of US-based participants, including students and junior researchers, particularly those from under-represented groups. The workshop consists of three distinct but uniquely connected components. The first component is a two-day short course on DD methods for partial differential equations. The second one features research level talks given by mathematicians specialized in theory and researchers from application fields. The third component presents breakout interactive sessions for the short-course participants, DD experts, and applied researchers. The US-based participants from mathematics and engineering will attend the workshop and give presentations. The activities of the workshop, including abstracts, short-course notes, and talk slides will be made available on the workshop website: www.math.mun.ca/anasc/ddworkshop.html.
