<br />Subject: Obituary: Jens Hugger

<br /><br />Jens Hugger, PhD, Associate Professor at Department of Mathematical
<br />Sciences, University of Copenhagen, died on March 4, 2016 after
<br />struggling with pancreatic cancer.
<br />
<br />Jens grew up in Aalborg, Denmark.  He received his Master degree in
<br />Mathematics from Aalborg University in 1983, and a PhD from University
<br />of Maryland in 1990 with Ivo Babuska as thesis advisor.  In 1991 Jens
<br />was employed as Assistant Professor (and from 1995 as Associate
<br />Professor) at University of Copenhagen, where he served as head of a
<br />number of study boards since 1996.
<br />
<br />Jens taught and worked primarily in numerical analysis, specializing
<br />in error estimation and adaptive mesh generation for the finite
<br />element method.  One of his key interests was the development of a
<br />framework for pointwise error estimation.  Since 2000 he was also
<br />working in computational financial engineering and, in particular,
<br />option pricing.
<br />
<br />Jens was a very warm person and family man.  He liked soccer and
<br />football, and he loved traveling the world and meeting new cultures.
<br />He is survived by his wife, Ada Scupola, and three children.

<br />Subject: Sparse Days at CERFACS, France, Jun 2016

<br /><br />The annual Sparse Days meeting will be held at CERFACS in Toulouse on
<br />30th June and 1st July 2016.  These dates are one day later than
<br />originally broadcast so that people can attend the VECPAR meeting
<br />earlier that week in Portugal and also be able to attend the PMAA
<br />meeting in Bordeaux the following week.
<br />
<br />Because of this juxtaposition, the overriding theme will be one of
<br />parallelism but as usual any talk that has an association with
<br />sparsity is welcome. The default length for a talk plus questions is
<br />30 minutes but a different time is negotiable.
<br />
<br />Requests to speak (accompanied by a title and short abstract) should
<br />be sent to Xavier Vasseur (vasseur@cerfacs.fr) and registrations (that
<br />are free) should be made to Brigitte Yzel
<br />(Brigitte.Yzel@cerfacs.fr). Although the deadline for these are 31st
<br />May 2016, earlier notice will help our organization of the Days.

<br />Subject: Excited State Electronic Structure Theories, China, Aug 2016

<br /><br />International Conference on Algorithms and Applications for Excited
<br />State Electronic Structure Theories
<br />August 8-10, 2016, CSRC, Beijing, China
<br />http://www.csrc.ac.cn/conference/dft2016
<br />
<br />Excited state electronic structure theory is one of the most active
<br />research fields in condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry, and
<br />plays a critical role in understanding electronic and optical
<br />properties of materials and chemical systems, and in energy related
<br />applications.  Numerical algorithms for excited state theory typically
<br />suffer from high computational complexity. This conference aims at
<br />bringing leading experts in the field to introduce recent developments
<br />of numerical algorithms and applications of excited state theory, and
<br />to stimulate discussion among conference participants.

<br />Subject: Special issue of EJAM on PDE for data modelling and analysis

<br /><br />We are excited to announce that a forthcoming special issue of the
<br />European Journal of Applied Mathematics (EJAM) will feature research
<br />articles that involve partial differential equations (PDE) used in
<br />data science.
<br />
<br />PDE models have found their way into the data sciences, in a variety
<br />of ways. They are used directly, for example for data assimilation,
<br />image processing, image analysis, shape analysis, inverse problems,
<br />computer vision, and modelling complex phenomena such as crowd motion,
<br />opinion formation, and option pricing. PDE ideas also serve as an
<br />inspiration to formulate and solve data problems on graphs and
<br />networks, such as in the use of graph-discretised PDE for various
<br />classification and community detection problems, and in the
<br />application of Gamma-convergence to link graph and continuum
<br />variational classification models, which is crucial for analysing
<br />these models and for understanding their scalability. Submissions on
<br />these and related topics are invited for this special issue.
<br />
<br />The peer review of submissions for this special issue will be in
<br />accordance with EJAM's mission to focus on mathematical models
<br />inspired by real-world applications, while at the same time fostering
<br />the development of theoretical methods with a broad range of
<br />applicability. Further details on EJAM's mandate can be obtained from
<br />their website: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?
<br />jid=EJM
<br />
<br />Papers are due no later than 19 October 2016. Authors should lodge
<br />submissions online via the EJAM website, noting in a covering letter
<br />that their paper is for consideration for this special
<br />issue. Publication of the special issue is expected to be in autumn
<br />2017.
<br />
<br />Enquiries can be directed to Yves van Gennip
<br />(y.vangennip@nottingham.ac.uk) (special issue), Carola-Bibiane
<br />Schönlieb (cbs31@cam.ac.uk) (special issue), or John King
