The talk Gauss quadrature and Lanczos algorithm, by Miroslav Pranic will be held on Monday March 13, 2017 at 9:00 in room K4. Abstract: Gauss quadrature can be naturally generalized to approximate quasi-definite linear functionals, where the interconnections with (formal) orthogonal polynomials, (complex) Jacobi matrices and Lanczos algorithm are analogous to those in the positive definite case. ...

The talk On the role of thermodynamics in the stability analysis of motion of viscoelastic rate type fluids, by Vít Průša will be held on Monday March 6, 2017 at 9:00 in room K4. Abstract: Analysis of the stability of a solution to a system of nonlinear partial differential equations is a quite challenging task. I will ...

The talk Efficient Implementation of Spectral Discontinuous Galerkin methods, by Peter Bastian  (Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing, Heidelberg University) will be held on Monday February 27, 2017 at 9:00 in room K4. Abstract: Unleashing the high-performance advertised by current supercomputers provides quite a challenge for finite element methods. The traditional approach of setting up a stiffness  matrix ...

The second part of the talk Multigrid and multilevel methods, by Ivana Pultarová  (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague) will be held on Monday January 9, 2017 at 9:00 in room K3. Abstract: Iterative numerical methods for solution of differential equations usually suffer from slow convergence when the discretized problem is large. Changing both ...

The talk Quantum Turbulence, by Ladislav Skrbek (Department of Low-Temperature Physics, Charles University) will be held on Monday December 5, 2016 at 9:00 in room K3. Abstract: Quantum turbulence can be loosely defined as the most general way of motion of quantum fluids displaying superfluidity. We introduce basic physical properties of quantum fluids, focusing on liquid helium, ...

The talk On thermodynamics of viscoelastic rate type fluids with temperature dependent material coefficients, by Vít Průša will be held on Monday November 28, 2016 at 9:00 in room K3. Abstract: We derive a class of thermodynamically consistent variants of Maxwell/Oldroyd-B type models for viscoelastic fluids. In particular, we study the models that allow one to consider ...

The talk Globally Lipschitz minimizers for variational problems with linear growth, by Erika Maringová will be held on Monday November 14, 2016 at 9:00 in room K3. Abstract: The classical example of a variational problem with linear growth is the minimal surface problem. It is well known that for smooth data such problem posses a regular (up ...
