Subject: Workshop on Adaptive Methods and Error Estimators

Second Announcement
GAMM Workshop Kiel on
Adaptive Methods - Error Estimators
January 21-23, 2000

Organizers:
Carsten Carstensen (Kiel)
Wolfgang Hackbusch (Kiel & Leipzig)
Angela Kunoth (Bonn)

The aim of the workshop is to present and discuss the state
of the art of error estimators for partial differential
and integral operators to be used within adaptive strategies
and related topics.
While error estimators for finite element methods are established
in the literature, adaptively generated wavelet spaces have been
introduced very recently.
Possible topics of the workshop include reliability, efficiency,
(Besov) regularity, saturation assumptions, and approximation
properties of exact and discrete solutions to elliptic partial
differential equations.
We particulary intend to discuss parallel developments in both
the finite element and the wavelet areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:

o A-posteriori error estimators for partial differential
operators based on
o finite elements
o wavelets

o A-posteriori error estimators for integral operators based on
o finite elements
o wavelets

o Adaptive boundary element methods
o Adaptive multigrid methods

Invited Speakers (Confirmed):
Ronald A. DeVore (South Carolina)
Willy Doerfler (Freiburg)
Rolf Rannacher (Heidelberg)

Everybody interested is warmly invited to attend.
Location: Mathematisches Seminar und Institut fuer Informatik und
Praktische Mathematik, Universitaet Kiel, Germany

Conference fee: DM 70.- (to be paid after arrival)

Call for papers: Participants wanting to give a talk (30 min)
should submit an abstract (10-20 lines) before November 30, 1999.
