This is an annual meeting on research in computational mathematics in Maryland, DC,
Delaware, Virginia and
vicinity organized by
- University of Maryland, College Park
- University of Maryland, Baltimore County
- George Mason University
- University of Delaware
The purpose of Sayas Numerics
Day
is
-
to connect researchers of computational mathematics in
VA, MD, DC, DE and adjacent areas
- to provide opportunities to students, postdocs and other early career researchers
Sayas Numerics Day is named in honor of
Francisco Javier Sayas (1968-2019).
In addition to his many other achievements, he played a key role in establishing and running DelMar Numerics Day,
and was dedicated to its mission of giving especially younger mathematicians an opportunity to share their work.
Presentation honoring Francisco Javier Sayas, given by R. Nochetto at DelMar Numerics Day 2019.
SAYAS NUMERICS DAY 2024 will take place as an
IN-PERSON ONLY MEETING
- on
Saturday, May 11, 2024, 9am-5:50pm
- location:
George Mason University, Arlington Campus
- keynote talk:
Georg Stadler (Courant Institute, NYU)
Rare and extreme
events in PDE systems involving random parameters
Estimation of tail probabilities in systems that involve uncertain
parameters or white noise forcing is important when these unlikely
events have severe consequences. Examples of such events are
hurricanes, energy grid blackouts or failure of engineered
systems. After explaining the challenges of estimating rare event
probabilities, I will make a connection between extreme event
probability estimation and constrained optimization that is
established by large deviation theory. The approach leads to practical
methods to estimate small probabilities, and a novel class of
challenging, large-scale constrained optimization problems. I will
show examples governed by the shallow water and the Navier Stokes
equations.
