Inhaltsangabe

The Eighth EPSRC Numerical Analysis Summer School was held at the Uni­ versity of Leicester from the 5th to the 17th of July, 1998. This was the third Numerical Analysis Summer School to be held in Leicester. The previous meetings, in 1992 and 1994, had been carefully structured to ensure that each week had a coherent 'theme'. For the 1998 meeting, in order to widen the audience, we decided to relax this constraint. Speakers were chosen to cover what may appear, at first sight, to be quite diverse areas of numeri­ cal analysis. However, we were pleased with the extent to which the ideas cohered, and particularly enjoyed the discussions which arose from differing interpretations of those ideas. We would like to thank all six of our main speakers for the care which they took in the preparation and delivery of their lectures. In this volume we present their lecture notes in alphabetical rather than chronological order. Nick Higham, Alastair Spence and Nick Trefethen were the speakers in week 1, while Bernardo Cockburn, Stig Larsson and Bob Skeel were the speakers in week 2. Another new feature of this meeting compared to its predecessors was that we had 'invited seminars'. A numer of established academics based in the UK were asked to participate in the afternoon seminar program.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Elaine Fehrman (BSc (Hons), BA DipSW, MSc, MBPsS) is employed as an HCPC-registered Advanced Practitioner at Rampton Hospital, which is one of three high secure hospitals in England and Wales. She is the substance misuse treatment clinical lead for the National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women at Rampton Hospital, and has several years of clinical practice experience working with offenders with mental health problems in low, medium, and high security hospitals, in the community, and in prison. She has a keen interest in improving the recovery and treatment outcomes for patients. Elaine is currently completing her Doctorate in Forensic Psychology, and is undertaking research to investigate the psychological sequelae of trauma in high risk mentally disordered offenders with substance misuse issues, and to determine if gender differences exist. The research will have important implications for informing treatment interventions at Rampton Hospital with this cohort with interrelated mental health issues.Vincent Egan (PhD, D Clin Psy, AfBPS, HCPC) is an associate professor of forensic psychology practice in the Department of Psychiatry and Applied Psychology at the University of Nottingham, and an HCPC-accredited forensic and clinical psychologist. He obtained a BSc (Honours) degree in Psychology from the University of London in 1984, A PhD in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh in 1991, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Leicester in 1996. After postdoctoral work at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh, he was employed as a clinical psychologist by the Central Nottinghamshire Health Service NHS Trust at the East Midlands Centre for Forensic Mental Health, then became director of the MSc in Forensic Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University, and then director of the accredited course in Forensic Psychology at the University of Leicester.Alexander N. Gorban (PhD, ScD, Professor) has held a Personal Chair in applied mathematics at the University of Leicester since 2004. He worked for the Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch (Krasnoyarsk, Russia), and ETH Zurich (Switzerland), was a visiting professor and research scholar at Clay Mathematics Institute (Cambridge, MA), IHES (Bures-sur-Yvette, Ile de France), Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (New York), and Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Cambridge, UK). His main research interests are machine learning, data mining and model reduction problems, dynamics of systems of physical, chemical and biological kinetics, and biomathematics. He has been accorded the title of Pioneer of Russian Neuroinformatics (2017) for his extraordinary contribution to theory and applications of artificial neural networks and received a lifetime achievement award (MaCKIE-2015) in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the research field of (bio)chemical kinetics.Jeremy Levesley (PhD, FIMA) is a professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Leicester. His research area is kernel based approximation methods in high dimensions, in Euclidean space and on manifolds. He is interested in developing research at the interface of mathematics and medicine, and sees interpretation of medical data sets as a key future challenge for mathematics. Evgeny M. Mirkes (PhD, ScD) is a research fellow at the University of Leicester. He worked for the Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch, and the Siberian Federal University (Krasnoyarsk, Russia). His main research interests are biomathematics, data mining and software engineering, neural networks, and artificial intelligence. He has led and supervised numerous medium-sized research and industrial projects in data analysis and development of decision-support systems for pattern recognition, computational diagnosis and treatment planning. Awaz K. Muhammad is a PhD student in applied mathematics at the University of Leicest

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book contains detailed lecture notes on six topics at the forefront of current research in numerical analysis and applied mathematics. Each set of notes presents a self-contained guide to a current research area and has an extensive bibliography. In addition, most of the notes contain detailed proofs of the key results. The notes start from a level suitable for first year graduate students in applied mathematics, mathematical analysis or numerical analysis, and proceed to current research topics. The reader should therefore be able to gain quickly an insight into the important results and techniques in each area without recourse to the large research literature. Current (unsolved) problems are also described and directions for future research are given. This book is also suitable for professional mathematicians who require a succint and accurate account of recent research in areas parallel to their own. Recent graduates in mathematical sciences who are considering the possibility of a pursuing research towards a PhD in applied mathematics or numerical analysis should also find this book a very valuable guide.
