Workshop onNumerical Aspects of Nonlinear PDEs of Hyperbolic TypeMay 26 & 27, 2009
Organizing committee:Helge Holden and Kenneth H. Karlsen Venue: Hotel Gabelshus,
Nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) of hyperbolic type are of fundamental importance in science and engineering, including fluid dynamics, acoustics, elastodynamics, geophysics, astrophysics, and many other disciplines. Closed form solutions are not available and numerical methods (finite difference, finite volume, finite element, etc.) have to be applied. The field of analysis and justification of numerical methods (stability, compactness and convergence, a priori or a posteriori error estimates, etc.), which often requires the use of sophisticated mathematics, has seen many advances in recent years. Besides providing a rigorous foundation, at least in the context of simplified model PDEs, the involved mathematical analysis tends to suggest design principles for constructing stable and powerful computational techniques for complex problems arising in realistic applications, for which rigorous analysis is out of reach. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together experts and junior researchers to discuss new trends and activities in numerical analysis, algorithms and applications of hyperbolic and related PDEs.
