Abstract:
The 5th International Conference Numerical Analysis and Applications was held
in the hotel ‘Ambelitz’, Lozenetz, Bulgaria, June 15–20, 2012. The conference
was organized by the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the
University of Ruse in cooperation with Union of Mathematicians of Bulgaria,
section Ruse. The conference continued the tradition of 4 previous ones (1996,
2000, 2004 and 2008) as a forum, where scientists from leading research groups
from the “East” and “West” were provided with the opportunity to meet and
exchange ideas and establish research cooperation. More than 100 scientists from
all over the world participated the conference. A wide range of problems concerning recent achievement on numerical analysis and its applications in physics,
chemistry, engineering, and economics were discussed. The key lectures reviewed
some of the advanced achievements in the field of numerical methods and their
applications. Four special sessions were organized:
- G. Shishkin, Computational Methods for Boundary and Interior Layers;
- A. Smirnov, Numerical Modeling of Shell-like Structures and their
Applications;
- N. Nefedov, Asymptotic Approximation Methods for Non-local ReactionDiffusion-Advection Problems;
- N. Yamanaka, Verified Numerical Computations.
The conference was opened by the lecture of Prof. M.J. Gander: From Euler,
Ritz and Galerkin to Modern Computing.
The success of the conference and the present volume in particular are the
outcome of the joint effort of many colleagues from various institutions and organizations. First, we are indebted to all members of the Scientific Committee for
their valuable contribution forming the scientific level of the conference, as well
as their help in reviewing contributed papers. We thank the Local Organizing
Committee and especially M. Koleva for the help in putting together the book.
The 6th International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Its Applications
will be held in June 2016.
