Conference Mathematical Modelling and Analysis 2009. First Announcement

Updated 2012.05.17.

Second Announcement

14th International Conference
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis

May 27 - 30, 2009, Daugavpils, Latvia

Conference organizers:

The European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI)
Daugavpils University, Latvia
University of Latvia
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Lithuania

Aims

The Conference focuses on various aspects of mathematical modelling and usage of finite difference and finite element methods for numerical solution of modern problems of science and engineering. It aims, in particular, at fostering cooperation among practitioners and theoreticians in these fields. Another very important goal of the MMA is to assist the creation and maintenance of contacts between scientists from the West and the East. Working language of the Conference is English.

The basic topics

Analysis of numerical methods for solving problems of mathematical physics;
Application of numerical methods to industrial and engineering problems;
Analysis of ODE and PDE problems and applications;
Parallel algorithms and parallel computing;
Computational Fluid Dynamics;
Image processing;
Financial mathematics and mathematics in economics;
Scientific computation.

The scientific program includes invited plenary lectures (40 min), contributed talks (20 min) and minisymposia. The format for a minisymposium will be a principal lecture (20-30 min) and a number of communications (20 min) given by the other speakers. The minisymposia will be scheduled in parallel sessions.
