Best regards, The organizers ------ Subject: School on qualitative theory of dynamical systems and applications From: info@sicc-it.org Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 06:33:48 -0600 Training School on qualitative theory of dynamical systems, tools and applications Urbino (Italy) 17-19 September, 2015 The training school is organized by the ISCH COST ACTION IS1104 project on "The EU in the new complex geography of economic systems: models, tools and policy evaluation" (http://www.gecomplexity-cost.eu) and Department DESP of Urbino University (Italy) Aim and Scope The qualitative theory of dynamical systems, started by Poincare on the early XX century and developed along the Fifties and Sixties by the Russian School of Andronov, in the last 40 years has been more and more applied to the description of the time evolution of economical and social systems. These systems are intrinsically dynamic, characterized by interdependence, nonlinearity and complexity. These featured can only be approached by a qualitative analysis, based on the study of invariant sets (equilibrium points, limit cycles and more complex attractors, together with the boundaries of their basins of attraction) which requires a trade-off between analytical, geometrical and numerical methods. Even if the early steps of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems have been in continuous time models, in economic and social modelling discrete time is often used, in order to describe event-driven (often decision-driven) evolving systems. In this three-days training school a basic introduction to the qualitative theory of dynamical systems will be given, both in continuous and discrete time, and some applications in economic and social problems, as well as some numerical tools, will be proposed. The lectures will be at an elementary level, only assuming a basic knowledge of calculus. However some indications and suggestions about more advanced topics will be given. The ideal candidates for the Training School are Ph.D. students, master students, post-doctoral fellows, and researchers in economics or sociology, interested in the analysis of dynamical systems with particular reference to new economic geography and regional growth applications.

This is the 7th workshop in this series, and this year's topic will be "Modelling and control of combustion instabilities". The guest speaker is Prof. Aimee Morgans from Imperial College London, U.K. As in previous years, the workshop is intended as a hands-on learning experience with interactive lectures and group work, in close contact with the orgnanizers and the invited speaker. For details, please refer to the web page http://www.ercoftac.org/ercoftac_news/ercoftac_montestigliano_spring_school_2015/ and do not hesitate to contact us by email if you have any questions. Applications (including a motivation letter and CV) should be sent to the organizers before March 12, 2015. A reference letter from the applicant's advisor should be arranged. ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Vibro-acoustic Simulations using C++ From: David Chappell Date: March 06, 2015 Applicants are invited to work on the EU funded project Mid-to-High Frequency Modelling of Vehicle Noise and Vibration (MHiVec) as part of a collaboration between inuTech GmbH, the Nottingham Trent University the University of Nottingham, the University of Southampton, and CDH AG. The project involves developing improved methods for predicting wave transport properties of complex vibro-acoustic structures and testing them in an industry relevant environment together with our associate partners, Jaguar Land Rover. Giving reliable estimates for the wave energy distributions in large built-up structures is an enormous challenge in the mid-to-high frequency regime and is of immediate interest to structural engineers and the manufacturing industry. The task at hand will be to design and develop a state of the art programming tool which combines the numerical schemes devised as part of the project. The salary for the position will be determined according to the EU flat rate for a researcher with between 4 and 10 years of experience including the country correction factor for Germany. Before tax, pension and other non-wage labour cost deductions (for both employer and employee) the salary range is from Eur 63421 to Eur 66834, and is determined based on the family status of the applicant according to the regulations of the European Commission http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/documents/about-mca/actions/iapp/iapp_2013_-_guide_for_applicants_-_call_specific_part_en.pdf For more details and how to apply please see http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index.cfm/jobs/jobDetails/33994722 ------ Subject: Contents, Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis 14:3 From: Liwei Ning Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 22:55:08 -0500 Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis (CPAA) Volume: 14, Number: 3 May 2015 http://www.aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListnew.jsp?pubID=753 1.
