CIMPA Research School: Contrôle, Problèmes Inverses et Géométrie, Tunisia, April 18-28, 2018

This CIMPA School on control, inverse problems and geometry was held in Hammamet and featured 7 courses and seven lectures. The courses presented an opportunity for training in various fields like control and stabilization, inverse problems, Carleman inequalities, micro-local analysis and geometry. The different lectures were given in connections with these subjects.

Tools for algebraic topology and homological algebra. Configuration Space Applications and Lie-Rinehart Algebra., Cameroon, April 7-20,2018

 

The aim of the school was to give students and young researchers from the Central African subregion a training in algebraic topology and geometry, on topics that are the subject of current research. The Cameroonian participants came from different universities (Yaounde, but also Dschang, Maroua ...), foreign participants came mainly from the Republic of Congo. The courses focused on the foundations of algebraic topology, configuration spaces, opera theory, homology and cohomology, pre-algebra and information geometry.

CIMPA School: Recent developments in stochastic dynamics and stochastic analysis, Vietnam, March 4-18, 2018

The aim of the CIMPA school has been to provide a stimulating intellectual environment for researchers from Vietnam and neighborhood countries to interact. The school has been primarily oriented towards PhD students and young researchers working in the area of stochastic partial differential equations, stochastic dynamics, stochastic analysis and their applications. The 6 lecturers were renowned specialists in their fields and have given different views of stochastic analysis topics, although they have also paid special attention to emphasize the connections between the different topics presented in the school. The school ended with a one-and-a-half-day workshop, where mainly the students of the CIMPA school had the opportunity to present their research topics.

SEAMS School - Partial differential equations for image processing: theory and numerics, Thailand, January 3 – 12, 2018

This school was the first active SEAMS school concerning numerical analysis and scientific computing of partial differential equations in Thailand. It testifies the ability of the Silpakorn Dept. of Mathematics to participate in South East Asia (ASEAN) cooperation. The conference introduced a basis of the theoretical and numerical mathematical analysis to study partial differential equations arising in image processing. Theoretical lectures were complemented by practical sessions through scientific Python software. A website and a chat group were created to facilitate exchanges between students, lecturers and organizers. A drive, accessible directly from the website of the school, contains the lectures, the python script and the list of exercises.
