Organizer: Professor Salvador Romaguera, Instituto Universitario de Matematica Pura y Aplicada-IUMPA, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain

E-mail:  sromague@mat.upv.es

Description of the topic of the session:  

Some generalized metric spaces, as quasi-metric and partial metric spaces, provide efficient tools to construct quantitative models in the theory of computation, when they are combined with suitable structures of the domain theory as (continuous) dcpo’s. On the other hand, the theory of (quasi-metric) Complexity Spaces relies on an adaptation of techniques of Denotational Semantics to the context of Complexity Theory. The applicability of the theory of complexity spaces to the complexity analysis of algorithms has been illustrated by several authors, based on fixed point techniques on (complete) quasi-metric and partial metric spaces. Recently, it was demonstrated that the notion of a fuzzy quasi-metric space allows us to improve the asymptotical information provided by the quasi-metric complexity space.

Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to):

• Quantitative computational models of computation: domain theory, quasi-metric and fuzzy (quasi-)metric structures.

25) Title: "Direct Hamiltonization - the Generalization of the Alternative Hamiltonization"

Organizer: Dr. Maria Lewtchuk Espindola, Professora Associada II – DM/CCEN/UFPB, Mathematics Department, Centro de Ciências Exatas e da Natureza, Universidade Federal da Paraíba, Brazil.

E-mail:  mariia@mat.ufpb.br or marialewtchuk@hotmail.com

Description of the topic of the session:  

A new procedure named direct Hamiltonization gives another foundation to Analytical Mechanics, since in this formalism the Hamiltonian function can be obtained for all mechanical systems.

The purpose of this symposium is the dissemination of these new foundations to Analytical Mechanics and the discussion of the range of these new foundations.

The principal change proposed in this procedure is that the conjugate momenta cannot be defined a priori, but are established as a consequence of a canonical description of the mechanical system. The direct Hamiltonization is a generalization of the alternative one, where the usual Hamiltonization and momenta is recovered whenever it exists. Also this procedure assures the existence of a Hamiltonian function without any constraints for any mechanical system, therefore the usual quantization is always allowed. This procedure can be also applied for any field theory giving a Hamiltonian density without any constraints.

Topics of interest of the current symposium include (but not limited!):

• Analytical Mechanics Foundations
• Direct Hamiltonization
• Alternative Hamiltonization
• Hamiltonian Mechanics
• Dirac or Singular Mechanics
• Non Lagrangian Systems
• Nambu Mechanics
• Non Holonomic Systems
• Quantization of Direct Hamiltonization
• Direct Hamiltonization for Field Theories
• Hamiltonization for Singular Field Theories

32) Title: "Texture Modeling in Image Processing"

Organizer: Dr. Yunho Kim, Department of Mathematics, University of California, Irvine.

E-mail:  yuno1123@math.uci.edu

Description of the topic of the session:  

This symposium is to present new ideas on image decomposition at large. Image decomposition is to decompose images into several different components with unique features and many different image processing tasks can be interpreted in the image decomposition context. If we know a priori knowledge about some features present in images, then we can take advantage of them in restoring better images. We are particularly interested in texture modeling. Texture modeling is a very interesting and hard problem in that it is easily mistaken either by noise, which is the most unwanted component, or by edges, which are important characteristics in images, and we cannot yet well characterize different texture patterns without learning some dictionary. The importance of texture modeling lies in that texture modeling will reveal the underlying oscillating structure. Hence, the main objective is to present variational/PDE/statistical/learning methods for texture extraction with or without noise. This will eventually improve our understanding data.

 

33) Title: "KFVS Scheme for Compressible Two-phase Flow Models Containing Non-conservative Products"

Organizer: Prof.Dr. Shuanghu Wang, Institution of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics,Beijing,China, No.2, Fenghaodong Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China,100094, Tel: 86-010-59872182, Fax: 86-010-59872587.

E-mail:   wang_shuanghu@iapcm.ac.cn 

Description of the topic of the session:  

In recent decades, the development of numerical methods for compressible two-phase flow models containing non-conservative products which arise in various natural phenomena and technological applications has attracted much attention. It is a difficult task to devise a Riemann solver for the models since they are always large hyperbolic systems with non-conservative terms.

Kinetic Flux Splitting Scheme(KFVS), one kind of well-developed kinetic schemes, has been widely used for the flow simulations in gas dynamics. It has been found that KFVS scheme needs not to construct the complicated time-consuming Riemann solvers and can give better resolution compared to the central schemes. Due to its simplicity, KFVS scheme can be easily extended to solve large hyperbolic systems such as MHD, RHE and etc.

The goal of this Symposium is to provide a forum for all researchers throughout the world to discuss the new developments in the field of KFVS for compressible two-phase flow models.
 

34) Title: "Allelopathic Phytoplankton Model with Stochastic Perturbation"

Organizer: Dr. Syed Abbas, Assistant Professor, School of Basic Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi, Mandi, 175001, Himachal Pradesh, India.

E-mail:  sabbas.iitk@gmail.com

Description of the topic of the session:  

One important area within Ecological modeling is to study of phytopanktons. The plant species of plankton community are known as phytoplankton and they are acting as a basic food source within any aquatic environment. They play crucial role towards the regulation of global carbon cycle and which in turn has a significant impact on the climate. Stochastic models are very important in order to understand the effect of environmental fluctuation on the time evolution of the species. Recent advances in stochastic differential equations enable us to introduce stochasticity into the model of physical phenomena, whether it is a random noise in the system of differential equations or environmental fluctuations in parameters. Modelling population dynamics in random environment is a way of studying the fluctuations of population size that has been affected by the stochasticity of external factors like weather.

The main objective of this symposium is to bring different research groups in these related areas together and to explore new dimension in these areas.

We kindly invite mathematicians/scientists working in the following areas:

• Phytoplankton Modeling
• Stochastic Modeling
• Ordinary/Delay Differential Equations

36) Title: "Evolutionary Processes on Graphs"

Organizer: Prof. Dr. Burton Voorhees, Center for Science, Athabasca University, 1 University Drive, Athabasca, AB, CANADA   T9S 3A3

E-mail:  burt@athabascau.ca

Description of the topic of the session:  

Over the past few years the topic of evolutionary processes on graphs has attracted extensive attention.  In this research, weighted graphs are used to model structure in populations.  Questions considered include mutant fixation probabilities, time to fixation, evolutionary games on graphs, spread of errors, evolution of cooperation, and epidemiology.  A major obstacle to analytic studies, however, is the high degree of computational complexity involved.  For example, given a general graph with N nodes, computation of fixation probability can require solution of on the order of 2N linear equations in an equal number of unknowns.  For this reason, most studies focus either on small graphs, graphs with large automorphism groups, or numerical simulations.  The goal of this symposium is to review current progress and explore possible areas of application.

E-mail:  btruong@nmu.edu and christiane.tammer@mathematik.uni-halle.de

Description of the topic of the session:  

Vector optimization has its roots in economics, especially in equilibrium theory. During the last three decades it has been further extended to the so-called set-valued optimization; optimization problems with a set-valued objective. Vector/set-valued optimization seems to have the potential to become bridge between different areas in optimization. It has been discovered that models in mathematical finance and in welfare economics very naturally lead to vector/set-valued optimization problems.

Many classical problems such as bilevel programs, parametric optimization problems, robustness etc. can be viewed and studied from the new perspective of vector-valued or set-valued optimization.

The main purpose of this symposium is to present recent results on optimization from both primal-space and dual-space approaches corresponding to scalarization and variational techniques. Applications to finance/economics and other areas will be discussed.

Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to):

• Nonconvex separation techniques
• Variational principles and generalized differentiation
• Optimality conditions in vector/set-valued optimization
• Duality assertions in vector/set-valued optimization
• Applications to finance mathematics and welfare economics

Description of the topic of the session:  

The Saint-Venant equations and similar shallow water models provide a good description of physical phenomena that have a direct impact in our daily lives and/or that may pose significant risks for entire populations and ecosystems. The formation and evolution of weather systems, oceanic flows, tsunamis, floods, or avalanches are just some examples of such phenomena, and the development of meaningful models for understanding and predicting them and the design of robust algorithms for computing their solutions is not a simple matter of scientic curiosity, but rather a necessity. The devastating effects and consequences of such phenomena has motivated research for understanding them, and over the past several years a significant effort has been devoted to the modeling and simulation of geophysical flows.

In this symposium we will discuss recent advances in the modeling of geophysical flows, the mathematical and computational challenges that they pose (e.g., dry-wet fronts, balance laws, loss of hyperbolicity, multi-scale phenomena), and algorithms and software available for their simulation. Particular attention will be given to large scale computations and models capable of capturing and describing multi-scale atmospheric phenomena. A non-exhaustive list of topics to be covered includes:

• shallow water models: single- and multi-layer flows in one and two dimensions
• erosion and sedimentation models
• models for tsunamis and avalanches
• climate models
• high-order numerical schemes
• large scale simulations and visualization

E-mail:  andreas.mueller@ifm-chemnitz.de and zdravko.terze@fsb.hr

Description of the topic of the session:  

Numerical multibody dynamics requires efficient and reliable formulations and computational methods eventually enabling real-time simulations of complex engineering systems. Geometric aspects of multibody systems are increasingly recognized to play a significant role in the development of advanced numerical methods. It is well-known that differential geometric methods are key concepts in mechanism design, as well as in the modeling and control of multibody and robotic systems. Advanced numerical integration schemes refer explicitly to the geometry of the dynamic system in question. As such structure preserving and Lie group integration methods were proposed for multibody dynamics simulation. Also non-linear control of multibody systems rests on robust and efficient formulations of the control problem, and the geometric properties reveal its essential characteristics. Merging concepts in multibody dynamics, non-linear control and mechanism theory will lead to efficient and robust numerical tools for the simulation and a better understanding of multibody dynamics.

 

This symposium will provide a platform for experts working in the broad area of computational mechanics, multibody dynamics and control, as well as mechanism theory with the special focus on numerical and geometric methods.

E-mail:  vdistefano@dmi.unict.it and muscato@dmi.unict.it

Description of the topic of the session:  

In the last decays the very large scale integration technology has allowed the shrinkage of a single device to nanometric dimensions. As a consequence, large electric fields and field gradients are produced inside the material, which generate a very large quantity of heat as well as hot or energetic electrons, that drive the system out of thermal equilibrium and prevent the reliable operation of the integrated circuits. This regime can be tackled using kinetic transport models and hydrodynamic models, whose numerical solutions need robust deterministic and stochastic solvers.

The goal of the Symposium is to bring together all the researchers working in the field of the modeling and simulation of semiconductor devices of submicrometric dimensions, in order to show all the recent results and possible innovations.

Organizers: Prof. Fathalla A. Rihan, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science, UAE University, Al-Ain, 17551, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

E-mail:  frihan@uaeu.ac.ae

Description of the topic of the session:  

Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) now occupy a place of central importance in all areas of science and particularly in the biological and physical sciences. They have a richer mathematical framework and better consistency (compared with models without memory or after-effects) when modeling biosciences phenomena.  Examples occur in population dynamics (taking into account the gestation and the maturation time), infectious diseases (accounting for the incubation periods), physiological and pharmaceutical kinetics (modelling, for example, hematopoiesis and respiration, where the delays are due respectively to cell maturation and blood transport between lung and brain, etc.), chemical and enzyme kinetics (such as mixing reactants), and biological immune response (in which the antibody production by the B-cell population depends on the antigenic stimulation at earlier time.  However, many such problems are stiff, in the sense that they have properties that make them slow and expensive to solve using explicit numerical methods. Difficulties due to stiffness often appear to be due to the differences in speed between the fastest and slowest components of the solutions, and stability constraints. The efficient use of reliable numerical methods (based in general on implicit formulae) for dealing with stiff DDEs involves a degree of sophistication not necessarily available to non-specialists.

The aim of this symposium is to provide suitable and efficient techniques for DDEs in Dynamic Diseases and Biosciences.  The symposium reflects the state of the art in the field of study and gives ideas for new developments. The topics of interest include (but not limited!):

• Delay Differential Models in Biosciences and Dynamic Diseases;
• Numerical Methods for Non-Stiff and Stiff DDEs in Biosciences,
• Qualitative Behavior of DDEs in Biosciences.

 

48) Title: "Numerical Study of Optical Solitons"

Organizers: Dr. A. Keshavarz, Department of Physics, College of Basic Sciences, Shiraz University of Technology, Shiraz, Iran, Zip code: 71557-13786, P.O. Box: 71555-313, Tel.:+98-711-7261392, Fax: +98-711-7354523, URL: www.sutech.ac.ir.

E-mail:  keshavarz@sutech.ac.ir

Description of the topic of the session:  

In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a solitary wave that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed. The soliton phenomenon was first described by John Scott Russell (1808–1882) who observed a solitary wave in the Union Canal in Scotland. He reproduced the phenomenon in a wave tank and named it the “Wave of Translation”. Historically, the concept of solitons emerged in mathematics literature and was reserved for optical self-trapped beams obeying integrable nonlinear partial diferential equations. In nonlinear optics, the so called nonlinear Schroedinger equation represents such an example. However most nonlinear physical are described by non-integrable evolution equations. In this case the solution of the wave equation was referred to as “solirary wave”. In general, soliton and solitary waves have some apecific interaction and collision properties that differ from one another, but today's all self-trapped beams are called solitons.

In optics, the term soliton is used to refer to any optical field that does not change during propagation. Optical spatial solitons are self-trapped optical beams that propagate and interact with each other as real particles. Soliton generation is the result of strong nonlinear interaction between the light and propagating medium. Progress in this field occupies a unique position in optics and photonics.

Solitons can be formed in one and two transverse dimensions which are denoted by (1+1)D and (2+1)D respectively. However the situation in two dimensions is anisotropic and more complicated, So in order to study of the soliton characterization, one must resort to numerical methods that will involve two stages: First special methods are used to solve corresponding material equations, which be solved numerically, and Second is a beam propagation method which is used to propagate optical beam in a medium In addition for many experimental setups, we need to select the parameters that are resulted from numerical simulation, because of high sensitivity. In this way I suggest a symposium titled Numerical study of Optical Solitons, containing the following topics:

• Optical Solitons generation in differente media,
• Optical Solitons Propagation in fibers or crystals,
• Optical Solitons collisions and interactions,
• Special and temporal Optical Solitons,
• Bright and Dark Optical Solitons,
• Modeling of the Optical Solitons,
• Stability of the Optical Solitons,
• New Numerical Simulation of the Optical Solitons,
• Applications of the Optical Solitons.

Experts in these fields of study can exhibit their last researchers via poster or oral presentation.

 

49) Title: "Operators in Morrey-Type Spaces and Applications (OMTSA 2012)"

Organizers: Prof. Vagif S. Guliyev  and Dr. Ali Akbulut, Department of Mathematics, Art & Science Faculty, Ahi Evran University, Bagbasi Campus, 40100 Kırşehi- TURKEY.

E-mail: vagif@guliyev.com and akbulut72@gmail.com

Description of the topic of the session:  

The international symposium Operators in general Morrey-type spaces and applications, will be held at ICNAAM 2012, Kypriotis Hotels and Conference Center, Kos, Greece,  through 19-25 September 2012. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the Conference Proceedings of ICNAAM.

The classical Morrey spaces were introduced by Charles Morrey in 1938 in order to investigate the local behaviour of solutions to second order elliptic partial differential equations and calculus of variations. They appeared to be very useful in many areas of mathematics, noticeably in Real Analysis, Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics. There are a number of books on Morrey spaces and applications and numerous papers.

Despite all the recent progress in this area there are still many urgent open problems. For this reason it is of extreme importance and value to organize a symposium on this subject. This will allow to discuss the current state of art and perspectives of developments of this theory. Moreover, this will allow to introduce research and open problems on Morrey type spaces to wider mathematical in words.

We propose to invite mathematicians from America, Europe, Asian and other countries who are currently actively working in this area and also mathematicians who work in close areas and may be interested in joining investigations on general Morrey-type spaces and applications.
We hope attendance of leading mathematicians on this subject from all over the world will give invaluable boost to jump start new research topics by young mathematicians.

50) Title: "Seminar Course on Hadronic Mechanics"

E-mail: board@santilli-foundation.org and cordac.galilei@gmail.com

Description of the topic of the session:  

The course is dedicated to the mathematical, theoretical and experimental study of interior dynamical systems at the classical and operator levels, here referred to extended particles or wavepackets moving within physical media (e.g., a satellite during re-entry or a proton in the core of a star), thus experiencing Hamiltonian as well ts non-Hamiltonian interactions. Consequently, the considered systems have  time evolutions that are, by central assumption, non-canonical at the classical level and non-unitary at the operator level when treated with the mathematics of canonical or unitary theories, respectively. A main aim of the course is the study of the new mathematical and physical treatments such as the Lie-isotopic and Lie-admissible formulations, achieving the same invariant description of non-Hamiltonian systems as that available for Hamiltonian formulations.

Interested Teachers and Students are encouraged to apply for financial support. Schedule to be uploaded in June 2012

Description of the topic of the session:

Front tracking method is a Lagrangian method for the propagation of a moving manifold. Front tracking works by moving marker particles which represent the interface. It is distinguished from the marker particle method in that the particles are located only on the interface, rather than in a volume region near the interface, and in that the particles are connected to each other, to form a triangulated mesh (3D) or piecewise linear segments (2D) of the interface. It is significantly faster than other particle methods, since fewer particles are used per cell in front tracking than the number used in typical particle method simulations. It is of significant importance in many engineering applications. The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers and scientists working on numerical methods for multiple interface problems and their applications to present and discuss recent developments in the field.
Topics of interest of the current symposium include (but not limited!):

• Numerical methods for multiple interface problem
• Boundary layer
• Turbulence
• Engineering applications of Front Tracking method
• Computational fluid dynamics

Description of the topic of the session:

The Minisymposium deals with one of the most important research fields of Mathematics, namely Variational Analysis and Equilibrium Problems, especially those related to network design, as traffic equilibrium problem, oligopolistic market equilibrium problem, space market equilibrium problem, financial problem, vaccination problem, Walras equilibrium problem both in the static and dynamic case.

Variational Analysis encompasses a large area of modern mathematics, including the classic Calculus of Variations, the Theories of Perturbation and of Approximation, Subgradient, Subderivatives, Set Convergence and Variational Inequalities. Variational Inequalities, as a particular and important chapter of Variational Analysis, have undergone great development and influence both in the progress of Variational Analysis, and in applications to Mathematical Physics and, more recently, to Engineering, Statistics, Economics, Financial Networks and Generalized Complementarity Problems. Several classical and new theories, such as those of Evolutionary Projected Dynamical Systems and Infinite Dimensional Duality, as well as research in discretized computational methods, have received a decisive impulse in order to offer effective solutions to hitherto unsolved problems. For this reason, particular emphasis will be given to the development of the Variational Inequalities Theory as for example the research of regularity results and their use to the computational procedure.

Therefore, the Minisymposium aims to offer a review of research themes, methods and open problems together with outlines of the new research trends in all the above topics.
Specifically, topics of interest include, but not limited to:

• Existence Theory for Infinite-Dimensional Variational Problems
• Regularity Theory for Parameterized Variational Inequalities
• Lagrange Theory and Strong Duality for Infinite-Dimensional Optimization
• Generalized Projection in Banach Spaces
• Weighted Variational and Quasi-Variational Inequalities and Wireless Communications
• Ill-posedness and Well-posedness for Variational Inequalities
• Regularity Theory for Solutions of Partial Differential Equations and Systems
• Game Theory
• Static and Dynamic Equilibrium Problems on Networks
• Numerical Methods for Dynamic Network Equilibria
