Subject: New Book, Practical Augmented Lagrangian Methods
Announcing the April 30, 2014, publication by SIAM of:
Practical Augmented Lagrangian Methods for Constrained Optimization,
by Ernesto G. Birgin and José Mario MartÃnez
xiv + 220 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611973-35-8 / List Price
$65.00 / SIAM Member Price $45.50 / Order Code FA10
This book focuses on Augmented Lagrangian techniques for solving
practical constrained optimization problems. The authors rigorously
delineate mathematical convergence theory based on sequential
optimality conditions and novel constraint qualifications. They also
orient the book to practitioners by giving priority to results that
provide insight on the practical behavior of algorithms and by
providing geometrical and algorithmic interpretations of every
mathematical result, and they fully describe a freely available
computational package for constrained optimization and illustrate its
usefulness with applications.
The book is aimed at engineers, physicists, chemists, and other
practitioners interested in full access to comprehensive and well-
documented software for large-scale optimization as well as up-to-
date convergence theory and its practical consequences. It will also
be of interest to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in
mathematics, computer science, applied mathematics, optimization, and
numerical analysis.

Title: Mathematical and Algorithmic Aspects of Uncertainty Quantification

Location: University of Texas at Austin
Cost: Registration is free, but space is limited
When building a mathematical model to describe the behavior of a
physical system, one has often to face a certain level of uncertainty
in the proper characterization of the model parameters and input
data. Examples appear in the description of flows in porous media,
behavior of living tissues, combustion problems, deformation of
composite materials, meteorology and atmospheric models, etc. The
increasing computer power and the need for reliable predictions have
pushed researchers to include uncertainty models, often in a
probabilistic setting, for the input parameters of otherwise
deterministic mathematical models.
In this series of lectures we focus on mathematical models mostly
based on Partial Differential Equations with stochastic input
parameters (coefficients, forcing terms, boundary conditions, shape of
the physical domain, etc.), and review the most used numerical
techniques for propagating the input random data onto the solution of
the problem.

aim is to bring together developers and users of MSO tools together
with people working in practice. The workshop will offer the
possibility for detailed discussions and the initiation of
cooperations for scientists in academia and industry working on or
with MSO tools.
Special emphasis will be given to multi-physics applications in
multibody systems, electrical circuits, bioprocess engineering,
chemical reactions, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
The presentations and discussions will cover
- Modeling and regularization/remodeling
- Coupled, hierarchical and multiscale dynamical systems
- Numerical simulation and control
- Error control and uncertainties in numerical simulation and control
- Software issues for MSO-tools
Every talk should address the state of the art of current research as
well as open questions and requirements for further theoretical
research in algorithm and software development. The talks should be
accessible to participants from different application fields.

biology and computational finance as Levy and piecewise-deterministic
processes, and anomalous diffusion processes. This workshop also

From: Daniel Lesnic [email protected]
Date: May 01, 2014
Subject: Postdoc Position, Applied Numerical Mathematics, Leeds Univ
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA)
in applied numerical mathematics modelling to work with Professor
D. Lesnic on an EPSRC-funded project entitled "Robustness-performance
optimisation for automated composite manufacture". The successful
applicant will also collaborate closely with academic partners on the
project Cranfield University, University of Nottingham and University
of Bristol.
The activity in which the PDRA will be full-time and fully engaged
will focus on the estimation of the anisotropic permeability and
thermal conductivity governing the filling and curing stages of
composites manufacturing and their uncertainty. These variables, which
are not directly observable using monitoring technologies, will be
identified based on information on observables (fibre angle and tow
width) and the homogenisation models available. The uncertainty
arising from the variability of the matrix, disturbances in fibre
architecture due to local compression and measurement errors in
observables will be estimated perhaps using a combination of
regularisation and Bayesian inference. The outcome of this activity
will be a system capable of identifying the probability distribution
of the anisotropic components of permeability and thermal conductivity
based on thermal, cure and flow monitoring signals and on information
on the fibre orientation from Automated Fibre Placement (AFP)
monitoring. The results will be used for stochastic simulations of
flow/cure in subsequent tasks.
A strong background in mathematics, scientific computing or related
areas is required. In particular, candidates should have some
experience with stochastic partial differential equations, finite or
boundary element methods, Bayesian inference and inverse problems.
This full-time position is available from June/July and will be
offered on a fixed-term contact for a period of 12 months. The
application deadline is 28 May 2014.
