Ian Morris is visiting the Mathematics Department at the University of Vienna today (29 May).  He is giving a talk at 16:45 in The Budapest-Wien Dynamics Seminar on “The transfer operator for the binary Euclidean algorithm“.  A link to the abstract is here. The picture to the left is the new library building at the […]

The paper “Computing interacting multi-fronts in one-dimensional real Ginzburg Landau equations“, co-authored by Tasos Rossides, David Lloyd, and Sergey Zelik, has appeared in the June issue of the Journal of Scientific Computing.  A link to the paper is here. The paper presents a numerical scheme for computing multi-fronts that is based on a global centre-manifold […]

Cesare Tronci is visiting the Bernoulli Centre at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland next week (1-3 June) to attend a series of lectures by Hanno Gottschalk (University of Wuppertal).  The lectures are on “Optimal reliability: stochastic failure time processes and geometry optimization”.  A link to the website is here.

Alessandro Torrielli has been awarded a Nuffield Research Placement to fund the supervision of an A-level student for 5 weeks this summer.  The project is on “Massless scattering in one-dimensional quantum mechanical problems“.

Congratulations to Matthew Wakeling who defended his EngD thesis today.  The subject of his thesis is “Numerical weather prediction in a changing climate: assimilation of dynamical information from satellite imagery“.  Matthew’s examiners were Alan O’Neill (Reading), Tony McNally (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and Alan Robins (EnFlo, Surrey).  His supervisors were John Eyre (UK […]

Bin Cheng, Ian Roulstone, and Matt Turner are attending the Maths Foresees Workshop at the University of Leeds Monday to Wednesday this week.  It is the first meeting of the EPSRC funded network on Living with Environmental Change.  At the conference Bin and Ian will give a talk on “Error estimates and second order corrections […]
