The ASI Antalya is a two week course for young mathematicians, engineers and natural scientists working in the field of numerical simulation. The course aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion of international contacts among scientists. The time and location of the ASI have been chosen to provide a pleasant atmosphere in which scientists can meet and interact successfully, hence maximizing the effective use of NATO funds.
The numerical simulation of complicated technical or natural processes has become one of the main sources of qualitative and quantitative understanding of these processes besides observation and experiments. Many situations (e.g. in astronomy) cannot be investigated by experiments, and we often cannot observe all details of interest in an experiment (e.g. the distribution of velocities in space and time of a turbulent flow). In all these cases we cannot judge by experiments or by observation, whether the numerical results are correct, or how large the error may be. In other cases, it may be too expensive to validate the numerical results by experiments. Therefore, it is important to have techniques yielding exact bounds or at least estimates for the error of the computations. The estimation of errors is studied in different fields of numerical mathematics under various aspects. The investigation of the influence of computer arithmetic on computations (propagation of rounding errors, interval arithmetic, backward and forward analysis), error estimation for stepsize control (ordinary differential equations), and adaptive grid generation are important fields where methods and tools for the investigation of errors were developed. These and other fields should be brought together to develop a culture where numerical results are always accompanied by error bounds or error estimates.
The ASI Antalya will be accommodated in double rooms of
Hotel Süral Saray (*****),
Manavgat-Antalya.
It is located on the beach at about 55 km from airport. The rooms are equipped with all comfort (air condition, TV, telephone, ...)
Limited funds from the NATO Science Committee and from other sources
will be available.
