| The conference contains several themes developed around multiscale issues. One focus of this conference is on approximate solutions to partial differential equations which model problems with multiple length scales. The conference brings together researchers from numerical analysis, PDE, and engineering communities who are tackling multiscale difficulties from varying points of view. One main theme of the workshop will be asymptotic methods and homogenization theory, in which analytic techniques are used to resolve and approximate solutions. These asymptotic and homogenization expansions can be used both to develop numerical techniques and to model quite complicated and nonregular materials. Another focus of the conference is on multigrid methods. They have been proven both practically and theoretically to be very efficient solution techniques for a wide variety of discrete systems arising from partial differential equations. While algorithmic advances continue to made in the area of algebraic multigrid, advances in multigrid theory have resulted in new algorithms for difficult problems in electromagnetics and acoustics previously thought unsuitable for multigrid. |
