Numerical and Computational Challenges in Science and Engineering

Workshop on Computational Challenges in Dynamical Systems
December 3 - 7, 2001

Organizers: Klaus Böhmer (Marburg), Eusebius Doedel (Concordia),
John Guckenheimer (Cornell), Herb Keller (Caltech), Bill Langford (Guelph)

Rationale: In Dynamical Systems theory, often the objects which are of great interest to mathematicians have properties which make them very difficult to compute by standard numerical methods. This workshop will focus on these computational challenges, bringing together experts in dynamical systems and in numerical analysis. Examples of the problems to be addressed include: localization and unfoldings of bifurcation points of higher codimension, computation of global invariant manifolds including center manifolds and inertial manifolds for ordinary and partial differential equations, efficient computation of normal forms, symmetric dynamical systems, strange attractors, Liapunov exponents, heteroclinic cycles, stable long time integrators, phase space reconstruction.
