International Conference on Scientific Computing and Partial Differential Equations
On the Occasion of Stanley Osher's 60th birthday.
December 12-15, 2002
Lam Woo Conference Center, Hong Kong Baptist University
Hong Kong.
|
Over the past decade there have been very rapid developments
of efficient algorithms for scientific computing and
related investigations of mathematical issues
for partial differential equations and image processing. As a result,
many problems in diverse application fields such as
fluid dynamics, image processing, computer vision, and computer graphics
in the entertainment industry can now be routinely simulated to high
resolution. Stanley Osher has been in the forefront of many of these
developments, and has published many influential original works on high
resolution shock capturing schemes, level set methods, applications to
multi-phase flows, computer vision, TV based image restoration, just to
name a few areas.
On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Stanley Osher, we are organizing
this international conference to review recent developments and to explore
exciting new directions in scientific computing and partial differential
equations for time dependent problems and its interaction with other
fields such as image processing, computer vision and graphics. An emphasis
of this conference, which we hope will set it apart from others, is the
strong interaction of significant mathematics with advanced algorithms
applicable to real-world applications.
There have been very rapid developments of Scientific Computing in Hong
Kong over the past decade. As Hong Kong transforms itself into a
high-tech industrial region, the need for scientific computing will rise
dramatically. This conference will further promote research interests
in scientific computation in Hong Kong.
