Topic: The conference will consist of invited and contributed talks related to Heydar Radjavi's work. Radjavi's many important contributions to linear algebra and to operator theory include his seminal characterization of self-commutators of operators on Hilbert space and his definitive trace condition for simultaneous triangularizability of semigroups of matrices which was the culmination of work on this topic by several generations of distinguished algebraists. Heydar has obtained numerous other results of broad interest on invariant subspaces, simultaneous triangularizability, products of involutions, semigroups of matrices and many other topics. It is hoped that this conference will reflect the breadth and influence of his research.

Title: ALGEBRAIC AND TOPOLOGICAL METHODS IN NON-CLASSICAL LOGICS II
Date: June 15 - 18, 2005
Site: Barcelona

Topic: In recent years the interest in non-classical logics has been growing. Motivations from computer science, natural language reasoning and linguistics have played a significant role in this development. The semantic study of non-classical logics is a field where no single overarching paradigm has been established, and where a variety of techniques are currently being explored. An important goal of this meeting is to promote the cross-fertilization between the fundamental ideas connected with these approaches. Thus, we aim to bring together researchers from various fields of non-classical logics and applications, as well as from lattice theory, universal algebra, category theory and general topology, in order to foster collaboration and further research. The featured areas include, but are not limited to, the following (in alphabetical order): Algebraic logic, Coalgebraic semantics, Categorical semantics in general, Dynamic logic and dynamic algebras, Fuzzy and many-valued logics, Lattices with operators, Modal logics, Ordered topological spaces, Ordered algebraic structures, Residuated structures, Substructural logics, Topological semantics of modal logic.

Title: Random Matrices, Random Processes and Integrable Systems
Date: June 20 - July 08, 2005
Site: Centre de recherches mathématiques, Université de Montréal

Topic: This program is intended to emphasize the remarkable relations between two a priori different domains: random matrices and integrable systems. The relations between random matrix models and the theory of classical integrable systems have long been studied. These appear mainly in the deformation theory, when parameters characterizing the measures or the domain of localization of the eigenvalues are varied. The resulting differential equations determining the partition function and correlation functions are, remarkably, of the same type as certain equations appearing in the theory of integrable systems. They may be analysed effectively through methods based upon the Riemann-Hilbert problem of analytic function theory and related approaches to the study of nonlinear asymptotics in the large N limit. Associated to studies of matrix models are certain stochastic processes, the "Dyson processes", and their continuum diffusion limits, which govern the spectrum in ! random matrix ensembles, and may also be studied by related methods. Correlation functions between eige alues of random matrices also have close similarities to those in integrable quantum spin systems and many body models. There are also remarkable connections to further probabilistic problems such as random words, tilings and partitions, as well as to growth processes, both random and deterministic.

Title: Mathematical Learning from early Childhood to Adulthood
Date: July 07 - 09, 2005
Site: Mons (Belgium)

Topic: From early childhood, human beings learn mathematics, either alone or with the help of someone else. Such a long learning period involves many processes, depending on many parameters. Some of these originate in the learner: his or her age, previous knowledge and the civilisation in which he or she lives. Others depend on the domain that is being learned, the reasons why it is learned and its applications. The colloquium aims at confronting research results on such subjects. The emphasis will be on synthetic views, guidelines and a structured view of continuous learning.

Title: Summer School on geometric and algebraic approaches for Integer Programming
Date: July 11 - 15, 2005
Site: Lisbon, Portugal

Topic: The School is composed by five set of lectures, designed to introduce young researchers to the more recent advances on geometric and algebraic approaches for integer programming. Each set of lectures will be about six hours long. They will provide the background, introduce the theme, describe the state-of-the-art, and suggest practical exercises. The organizers will try to provide a relaxed atmosphere with enough time for discussion. Integer programming is a field of optimization with recognized scientific and economical relevance. The usual approach to solve integer programming problems is to use linear programming within a branch-and-bound or branch-and-cut framework, using whenever possible polyhedral results about the set of feasible solutions. Alternative algebraic and geometric approaches have recently emerged that show great promise. In particular, polynomial algorithms for solving integer programs in fixed dimension have recently been developed. This is a hot topic of international research, and the School will be an opportunity to bring up-to-date knowledge to young researchers. The School is composed by five lectures, designed to introduce young researchers to the more recent advances on geometric and algebraic approaches for integer programming. Each lecture will be about three hours long. They will provide the background, introduce the theme, describe the state-of-the-art, and suggest practical exercises.

Title: The eighth International Diffiety school
Date: July 16 - August 01, 2005
Site: Santo Stefano del Sole (Avellino), Italy

Topic: The aim of the School is to introduce undergraduate and Ph. D. students in Mathematics and Physics as well as post-doctoral researchers in a recently emerged area of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics: Secondary Calculus. A diffiety is a new geometrical object that properly formalizes the concept of the solution space of a given system of (nonlinear) PDEs, much as an algebraic variety does with respect to solutions of a given system of algebraic equations. Secondary Calculus is a natural diffiety analogue of the standard Calculus on smooth manifolds, and as such leads to a very rich general theory of nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, it appears to be the unique natural language for quantum physics, just as the standard Calculus is the natural language for classical physics.

Title: Workshop on Optimization in Medicine
Date: July 20 - 22, 2005
Site: Coimbra, Portugal

Topic: The study of computing in medical applications has opened many challenging issues and problems for both the medical computing and mathematical communities. This workshop is intended to foster communication and collaboration between researchers in the medical computing community and researchers working in applied mathematics and optimization. Mathematical techniques (continuous and discrete) are playing a key role with increasingly importance in understanding several fundamental problems in medicine. For instance, mathematical theory of nonlinear dynamics and discrete optimization has been used to predict epileptic seizures. Next to stroke, epilepsy is among the most common disorders of the nervous system. Measures derived from the theory of nonlinear dynamics and discrete optimization techniques are used for prediction of impending epileptic seizures from analysis of multielectrode electroencephalographic (EEG) data. Several examples of the use of mathematics in medicine can be found in recent cancer research. Sophisticated mathematical models and algorithms have been used for generating treatment plans for radionuclide implant and external beam radiation therapy. With Gamma Knife treatment, for example, optimization techniques have been used to automate the treatment planning process. Optimization has been used to address a variety of medical image registration problems. In particular, specialized mathematical programming techniques have been used in a variety of domains including the rigid alignment of primate autoradiographs and the non-rigid registration of cortical anatomical structures as seen in MRI. Invited speakers to the workshop include: M. C. Ferris (University of Wisconsin), H. W. Hamacher (University of Kaiserslautern), L. D. Iasemidis (Arizona State University), A. K. Louis (Saarland University), J. P. Kaipio (University of Kuopio), E. K. Lee (Georgia Institute of Technology), A. Rangarajan (University of Florida). Invited and contributed presentations will be scheduled during the three days. Participants who wish to present a talk are invited to submit a title and an abstract to tt05_om@mat.uc.pt by April 30, 2005. Notification of acceptance will occur before May 20, 2005.

Title: Workshop on PDE Constrained Optimization
Date: July 26 - 29, 2005
Site: Tomar, Portugal

Topic: Optimization problems governed by partial differential equation (PDE) constraints arise in many important applications. Progress in computational and applied mathematics combined with the availability of rapidly increasing computer power steadily enlarges the range of applications that can be simulated numerically and for which optimization tasks, such as optimal design, parameter identification, and control are being considered. For most of these optimization problems, simple approaches combining off-the-shelf PDE solvers and optimization algorithms often lack robustness or can be very inefficient. Successful solution approaches have to overcome challenges arising from, e.g., the increasing complexity of applications and their mathematical models, the influence of the underlying infinite dimensional problem structure on optimization algorithms, and the interaction of PDE discretization and optimization. This workshop will combine a wide range of topics important to PDE constrained optimization in an integrated approach, fusing techniques from a number of mathematical disciplines including functional analysis, optimal control theory, numerical optimization, numerical PDEs, and numerical analysis and application specific structures. Invited speakers: M. D. Gunzburger (Florida State University), R. H. W. Hoppe (University of Augsburg), K. Kunisch (University of Graz), G. Leugering (Univ. Erlangen-Nuernb.), A. T. Patera (MIT), R. Rannacher (University of Heidelberg), E. W. Sachs (University of Trier). A short course will be offered on the first day of the workshop by F. Troltzsch (Technical University of Berlin) and M. Heinkenschloss (Rice University) on properties of solutions and numerical approaches to PDE constrained optimization problems. Invited and contributed presentations will be scheduled during the remaining three days. Participants who wish to present a talk are invited to submit a title and an abstract to tt05_pde@mat.uc.pt by April 30, 2005. Notification of acceptance will occur before May 20, 2005.

Title: Third International Workshop Meshfree Methods for Partial Differential Equations
Date: September 12 - 15, 2005
Site: Bonn, Germany

Topic: The numerical treatment of partial differential equations with meshfree discretization techniques has been a very active research area in recent years. While the fundamental theory of meshfree methods has been developed and considerable advances of the various methods have been made, many challenges in the mathematical analysis and practical implementation of meshfree methods remain. The growing interest in meshfree and particle methods is in part due to the fact that these methods are very flexible numerical tools and can be interpreted in a number of ways. For instance, meshfree methods can be viewed as a natural extension of classical finite element and finite difference methods to scattered node configurations with no fixed connectivity. Furthermore, meshfree methods have some advantageous features which are especially attractive when dealing with multiscale phenomena: A-priori knowledge about particular local behavior of the solution can be introduced easily in the meshfree approximation space, and an enrichment of a coarse scale approximation with fine scale information is possible in a seamless fashion. In many areas of application, the use of a classical macroscale model does not give results within the accuracy required today. Hence, multiscale simulations are becoming more and more important. Here, two different approaches, the hierarchical information passing approach and the concurrent coupling approach, are of great interest in today's multiscale research. The goal of this workshop is to bring together an international group of researchers from different fields, inside and outside mathematics, to report on the recent developments in meshfree and multiscale particle methods. The workshop shall provide an open forum for the exchange of ideas on modelling issues, on the analysis of meshfree methods as well as on issues concerning the efficient implementation of meshfree and particle methods. While contributions in all aspects of meshfree and particle methods are invited, the key topics of this workshop will be: * multiscale particle models and simulations, * coupling of particle models to continuum models, * hybrid methods, coupling of meshfree and mesh-based methods, * quantum mechanical, atomistic, and molecular models and their applications, * industrial engineering applications of meshfree and particle methods, * implementational issues of meshfree and particle methods, * analysis of meshfree and particle methods. The four day workshop program will consist of invited lectures, contributed papers and poster sessions.
