The methods in focus are iterative methods with multilevel preconditioning, which offer rates of convergence, (almost) independent of the size of the problems (a crucial issue for very large scale real-life applications) and optimal computational complexity. Two important issues are specially emphasized: - efficient parallel implementations of methods of the above type, and - applicability of the methods to practical problems in which large scale linear and nonlinear systems have to be solved, especially for problems originating from material sciences, biomedical computations, and computational mechanics. The summer school is a non-profit event organized by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Nijmegen, with the financial support of TMR (EU), the Mathematical Research Institute (MRI), The Netherlands. The summer school is primarily intended to provide training in the above topics for students and researchers from countries from the European Community. TOPICS: -algebraic multilevel iteration methods, multigrid methods, domain decomposition methods, level set methods, -adaptive mesh refinement techniques, error estimators -symmetric, nonsymmetric, indefinite problems, -robust solution methods, uniform convergence with respect to meshsize and small perturbation parameters, -nonstandard problems, applications, mostly in material and in medical sciences; -parallel computations, scalability, efficiency, optimality. INVITED LECTURERS: The speakers of the summer school will be among the internationally most well-known researchers, or coworkers of them, with a substantial research and practical experience on the subject: GENERAL OUTLINE: During the first five days of the summer school there will be four lectures each day. Three of them will take place in a morning session and will be mainly concerned with methods and implementation techniques. The afternoon lectures will treat selected practical problems, their current state and demands for better solution methods, computer implementations etc. A preparation of a computer exercise is provided. The intention is to form 5 to 6 groups of students who will work together on a single computer exercise. PLANNED SCHEDULE: Schedule day 1--5: 9:00--9:50 Lecture 1 10:00--10:50 Lecture 2 11:00--11:50 Lecture 3 12:00--14:00 Lunch 14:00--14:50 Lecture on an application topic 15:00--17:30 Computer implementation issues, computer exercise 18:00--19:30 Dinner Schedule day 6: Computer exercise Schedule day 7: Six presentations (50 minutes each) PARTICIPATION FEE: The major part of the cost of the summer school will be paid from a European Community TMR grant. Find more details in the web-pages. DEADLINES: Application form sent before April 10, 1997. Notification of acceptance before May 2, 1997 NOTE: The number of participants is not restricted but we aim at 30. Participants will be accepted in the order of receipt of the application forms. The target groups for TMR projects are: - researchers aged 35 or under, within the Community and the Associated States; - researchers whose place of work is in a less-favoured region; - women researchers; - researchers who work in industry. A good knowledge of computer programming and Scientific Computation or Numerical Analysis is required. Some experience with parallel computations is helpful.
