Free Surface and Interface Problems Workshop, Oxford, 14 & 15 September 2012 Held at St Anne\222s College, Oxford consisting of 3 sessions (Friday and Saturday). General theme: the theoretical and numerical aspects of nonlinear hyperbolic and dispersive free boundary and interface problems. These various types of PDE problems arising from a variety of important real world problems in fluid and gas dynamics, and offer challenges both from the analytical and numerical viewpoints. Each session will involve a mix of analysts and numerical analysts and show connections between the analysis and the numerical sides of problems.

Short Summary The Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Group at San Diego State University announces the availability of a postdoctoral position, funded by a grant from the Army Research Office, to study high dimensional coupled nonlinear systems with symmetry. Below is a link to the website of the group and the position is posted at the top of the website. http://nlds.sdsu.edu The main goal is to uncover and study the universal mechanisms by which nonlinear interactions, at various length scales, can lead to coherent self-regulated, self-sustaining, collective behavior in nano-oscillator and gyroscope systems. Of particular interest are complex patterns tat arise more commonly in higher dimensions and which can be exploited to enhance the performance and robustness of a dynamical system, for instance: heteroclinic orbits, chimera states and many other patterns that are dictated by symmetry conditions. The ideal candidate should have a background in dynamical systems and familiarity with symmetry-based methods and/or Hamiltonian systems. U.S. Citizenship is not required. Candidates interested in the position should arrange for two letters of recommendation and CV to be sent (by email or post office) directly to: Prof. Antonio Palacios Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Group http://nlds.sdsu.edu Department of Mathematics San Diego State University 5500 Campanile Drive San Diego, CA 92182-7720 Phone: (619) 594-6808 Fax: (619) 594-6746 ------ Subject: Contents, Inverse Problems and Imaging 6:2 From: Liwei Ning Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:46:30 -0500 Inverse Problems and Imaging (IPI) Volume: 6, Number: 2 May 2012 http://www.aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListnew.jsp?pubID=521 1.
