are a very good approximation of the print book, and a Julia package.
The solvers and the notebooks are finished and ready for use. The
package is SIAMFANLEquations.jl, now at version 1.0. You install it
like any other registered Julia package.

We are pleased to announce that the next edition of Singular Days will
be held at University Cote d'Azur, Nice, France, during November 2-4,

edges in boundary value problem.

In this year edition, the covered topics additionally include
- a posteriori error estimation,
- local mesh refinements,
- numerical methods for singularly perturbed problems,
- asymptotic analysis, and
- bridges between mathematical analysis and physics.

Durham University is pleased to offer a fully funded PhD studentship
for a UK or international student. The successful applicant will be
based in the Department of Computer Science of Durham University,
applying UQ methods to complex, large scale numerical models. In
particular, the project is concerned with creating easy-to-use
interfaces, parallelisation strategies and encapsulation. As a

solve Bayesian inverse problems primarily using MLMCMC methods. The
models will be run primarily with GKE in order to provide easy access
to High Performance Computing resources without the technical burden
(regarding dependencies, compiler versions etc.) traditionally coming
with HPC environments. Access to Durham University HPC systems will
also be provided.

The successful applicant will have a strong programming ability and a
competent mathematical background. Prior experience in mathematical
modeling or uncertainty quantification is beneficial although not
essential. Applicants are encouraged to make enquiries directly to

Subject: PhD Positions, Czech Technical Univ


Structured Graphical Models for Causal Inference is an increasingly
important class of Machine Learning techniques, especially it
applications of public health and medicine. Using careful principled
structure in the modeling of potentially influential as well as latent
variables, conclusions can be reached regarding the cause-effect,
rather than simply correlational influence, with far reaching
implications for understanding and treatment/policy. The development,
analysis, training and inference of these models is highly nontrivial,
and involves an array of tools from statistics and information theory
along with optimization and numerical analysis. As part of a Horizon
Europe EU-wide project in the domain of public health, we are seeking
motivated and competent PhD students to pursue research in the
associated fields. Multiple positions are available in accordance with
the different aspects involved, including: Modelling and quantifying
generalization, bias, and variance (statistics, machine learning);
Training Large Scale Models, including parameters and structure
(stochastic optimization); and Incorporating dynamic systems and filtering
approaches to models of longitudinal time series data (system
identification, optimization and control).

The PhD-ship will be supervised by Jakub Marecek and Vyacheslav
Kungurtsev (Dept. of Computer Science) and Vladimir Havlena (Dept. of
Control Engineering) at the Czech Technical University and is part of
a broader collaboration with Imperial College London, Technion -
Israel Institute of Technology, National and Kapodistrian University
of Athens and others. The position is full time and limited to 4
years. The studentship comes with a monthly salary similar to the
average pay in Prague, the Czech Republic (approximately 45000 CZK per
month before a notably low tax), and a travel budget. The Czech
capital regularly ranks among five European cities within the world's
best cities in the world to live in (cf. Time Out Magazine index for
2021) and CTU's offices are in a centrally-located palace with a view
of Prague Castle. For more information, please see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague

We seek candidates with Masters degrees in Statistics, Control Theory,
Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or related
disciplines, with excellent mathematical aptitude, as demonstrated by
involvement in mathematical olympiads, relevant coursework, or
undergraduate research. A preference is given to candidates with
experience in programming, especially (but not limited to) Python

We expect to start interviewing candidates as soon as possible, with a
view of a start between January and September 2023.

Subject: CFP, MCA Special Issue, Radial Basis Functions


Radial basis functions (RBFs) are a type of real-value function which
invariably involve only one-dimensional distance. With their merit of
meshless and independence from dimensionality and geometric
complexity, RBFs have gained substantial attention from various
scientific computing and engineering applications, such as the
recovery of functions from scattered data, the numerical solution of
partial differential equations (PDEs), ill-posed and inverse problems,
neural networks, machine learning algorithms, and so on. This Special
Issue (https://bit.ly/3RnKcWk) will present recent research results on
radial basis functions and their applications in engineering and
sciences.

For further information please send an email to Prof. Dr. Zhuojia Fu
(paul212063@hhu.edu.cn). The publication fee will be waived for well-
prepared submissions.
