E-mail: zmeskal@fch.vutbr.cz(link sends e-mail)

 

Transport and accumulation of heat, moisture, chemical substances, and momentum are phenomena which affect buildings and their inbuilt materials over their whole lifetime period. Their satisfactory description requires primarily a choice of proper physical and mathematical models because the transport mechanisms are coupled.  The computational implementation of mathematical models is another essential factor involving an application of appropriate methods of numerical solution. The computer simulation tools cannot be utilized properly without knowledge of a variety of transport and storage material parameters, which have to be determined experimentally in a wide range of field quantities, such as temperature, moisture content, and concentration of a particular chemical compound. The applied models are also supposed to be verified using critical experiments, in order to assess their overall quality. Therefore, in practical applications the computational modeling and experimental assessment of transport processes cannot be separated without a risk of significant departure from the physical reality.
 
The symposium brings together physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers working in the field of transport processes in building materials and materials engineering. The main topics include but are not limited to:
 
  • Theoretical models of transport phenomena
  • Computer simulation tools

The main purpose of the Section “Recent Advances in Numerical Methods and Simulations in Statics and Dynamics of Structures” is the presentation of new methods to analyse of safety and reliability of the structures under extreme loads as the earthquake and climatic loads (temperature, wind, snow, rain and others), terroristic attack (aircraft, missile, blast, fire and others) or technology accident (explosion, high temperature and others). The nonlinear material and geometric behavior of structures are necessary to consider during extreme loads. The risk of the structure collapse is determined by the model and resistance uncertainties. The deterministic and probabilistic analysis of the structure failure during the extreme loading can be used. The probabilistic assessment gives us the most complex analysis of the acceptable level of the risk. Recently, the theories of probability and statistics and reliability have provided the bases for modern structural design codes and specifications.
 
The main objectives of the Mini-symposium are developing:
 
  • The advanced methods and simulations of structure failure under extreme loads,
  • The nonlinear material and a geometric model of structures and efficient numerical methods,
  • The advances in the soil-base-structure or soil-fluid-structure interaction analysis under seismic loads, 
  • The experimental tests and the fluid simulation of the blast or extreme wind impact on structures with various shape,
  • The optimization of the new composite materials or structure shape to have the higher safety of the structure under the impact of extreme loads, 
  • The simulation probabilistic methods and the stochastic finite elements to probabilistic analysis of the structure resistance due to extreme loads,
  • The risk analysis of the structure failure using the fragility curves of the structural elements for various type of accident or extreme loads, 
  • The Reliability-Based Optimization procedures to consider the effects of uncertainty by means of reliability, the applications involving optimal structural design for stochastic linear and nonlinear statics and dynamics. 
  • The experience from the experiment tests, modeling and simulations of the structural failure under extreme loads using the deterministic or probabilistic assessment are welcome.

Many systems can be represented by graphs (networks). For instance, the internet, social networks, metabolic networks, etc.  This representation can help scientists to study, understand and find more information about systems. 
 
In addition, a graph is represented by a matrix, which is called the adjacency matrix.  So it is easy to use computers to represent any graph. To extract information from graphs we can use heuristics like Genetic Algorithms, Tabu Search, etc.

Many problems in science and engineering are reduced to a set of boundary value problems through a process of mathematical modeling such as problems in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics etc. Sometimes it is possible to find an exact solution of a boundary value problem as a combination of elementary functions or as a trigonometric functions or power series.
 
However, this classical mathematical approach for solving boundary value problems only works on a relatively small class of problems. In more realistic models, solutions of boundary value problems cannot be found explicitly in terms of known functions, and the alternative is to determine an approximate solution for given data through numerical computations.
 
Due to this reason, different numerical methods have been developed in the literature for the solution of boundary value problems that includes Finite difference method, Finite element method, Finite volume method, Boundary element method, and Spline methods etc. This mini-symposium aims, to present the new development of computational methods for solving boundary value problems.

The so-called chimera state is a collective state that, as the name suggests, has a dual character. On the one hand, we have a set of oscillators working in unison and, on the other, there is a second set with no synchrony; yet the two sets rely on each other to be sustained.
 
The goal of this symposium is to have closer looks at the inner workings of this overall harmony, via numerical simulations of various finite-N systems that are known to exhibit non-stationary chimera states. Particularly of interest is the effect of the overlap of the two sets on the motion of the center of mass of the chimera, and whether or not this may lead to a better understanding of the collective state and how transient chimeras work. The nature of Synchrony between two or more coupled systems, each of which may support chimera states individually may also further elucidate the characteristics needed for the existence of the collective state. This symposium will concentrate on all such new ideas, with a specific focus on the computational and numerical simulation aspects of such studies.

Organizer: Mohammad Taghi Darvishi, Professor of Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Razi University, Kermanshah 67149, Iran

E-mail: darvishimt@yahoo.com(link sends e-mail)

Fractional differential equations (FDEs), as generalizations of the classical integer order of ordinary or partial differential equations, appear in many applications of the applied sciences to model problems in fluid flow, finance, phase transitions, stratified materials and so on. Recently, there has been considerable attention from the scientific community devoted to the analysis and numerical approximations of fractional differential equations.
 
This follows from the advantages of using derivatives of arbitrary orders in the modelling of different phenomena in physics, engineering, finance, chemistry, and the life sciences. Fractional differentiation has been found to be effective to describe many phenomena in biology, fluid flow, chemistry, finance, control theory, psychology and another areas of science and engineering. That is because of the fact that a reasonable modelling of a physical phenomenon has dependence not only of the time instant but also on the prior time history which can be fruitfully achieved by using fractional calculus.
 
This symposium will be of interest to all researchers who participate in the introduction and application of new algorithms to solve fractional differential equations.

Economics, Management, and Finance always involve some degrees of Uncertainty.  These to some extent can be reduced using Mathematica-Statistical Models.  The aim of this Symposium will be the application of Mathematical modelling of Economics, Management, and Finance, then converting to the Statistical models or generally Econometric Model to estimate the effective parameters.  This would help the decision makers to some extent overcome uncertainty for wise decision making.

Call for papers: Continuous-time state-space models are used to describe the dynamics of several industrial production systems, as well as the dynamics of financial systems. A typical example of continuous-time production systems is electric power generation. Other examples can be found in the metal industry, in mining, in the fuels industry, in the food industry, the cement industry etc. In such systems, there exists a continuous inflow of raw material out of which a continuous outflow of a product is generated.
 
The related state-space descriptions are often complicated and consist of coupled nonlinear differential equations, while input-output time-delays can be also included in them. The solution to the related control problem has a two-fold objective:
 
(i) assure that the production will stay at the desirable levels (ii) minimize the consumption of energy or the cost of the raw materials needed to sustain such production. One often arrives at continuous-time nonlinear optimal control problems, which are either computationally complex to solve or which are of questionable stability and convergence properties. The proposed special session will attempt to present recent advances in this area and to elaborate on nonlinear control approaches which can ascertain that industrial production will be uninterrupted, the operational capacity of industrial units will be raised while the production cost will be minimized.
 
Continuous-time state-space models are also met in economics and finance. These models can be used to describe business-cycles and the interaction of macroeconomic indexes between distributed financial entities such as companies, banks or interconnected economies. These models can demonstrate the variation of the gross domestic product, the accumulation of capital stocks or changes of interest rates in linked economies.
 
By applying nonlinear control to such systems growth and financial stability can be achieved. Again the nonlinear control of the related continuous-time spate-space models can have multiple objectives: (i) the implementation of a specific macroeconomic policy, (ii) the implementation of a monetary or taxation policy, (iii) the abatement of recession and the sustaining of growth, (iv) the prevention of crises and the mitigation of the spreading of financial distress. Nonlinear control allows accomplishing the aforementioned aims under limitations in resources. The proposed special session will attempt to present recent advances in this area and to elaborate on nonlinear control approaches which can ascertain that assets and capitals will be optimally managed so as targeted financial indexes to be reached.
 
Indicative topics of interest for this special session are: (i) Control for continuous-time industrial production and business models, (ii) minimization of energy consumption in industrial processes, (iii) optimization of raw material processing and raise of production levels (iv) control for implementing macroeconomic policies, (v) Control for implementing monetary or taxation policies (vi) control for the management of investments and capital flows.
 
Prospective authors can submit their articles to the special session’s organizers
