Subject: Workshop on Computational Methods for ODES
A Workshop on Computational Methods for ODES (HKODEW) will be held on
15-16 January 2001 in the Department of Mathematics, The University of
Hong Kong. The topics include linear and nonlinear algebraic techniques,
preconditioning, iterative methods, parallel approaches and the related
problems in the solution of the algebraic systems arising in the ODE codes
based on implicit formulae.
The workshop is open to anyone interested. There is no registration fee.
If you would like to contribute a talk in the workshop, please contact the
organizing committee: Daniele Bertaccini, Universita' di Roma "La Sapienza"
(bertaccini@na-net.ornl.gov) and Michael K. Ng, The University of Hong
Kong (mng@maths.hku.hk).
The details can also be found at:
http://www.math.unifi.it/~bertaccini/hkodew
Remark: The HKODEW workshop is held just after the conference
Auckland Numerical Ordinary Differential Equations (ANODE2001) in
New Zealand (8-12 Jan. 2001) and Hong Kong is an easy stop-over for
many flights from Europe and U.S.
