OBJECTIVES:
Devoted to dissemination of recent advances and ideas concerning multigrid,
multilevel and multiscale methods. Multigrid methods
are generally accepted as being the fastest numerical methods for the
solution of different partial differential equations.
If the idea is generalized to other structures than grids, one
obtains multilevel, multiscale or multi-resolution methods, which can
successfully be used also for problems characterized by matrix or particle
structures etc.
A broad range of problems in the sciences and engineering require multiscale
modeling and simulation techniques, because of the range of scales involved
and the prohibitively large number of variables implied by a monoscale
approach. Multigrid, multilevel and multiscale methods are interrelated in
various ways.
Therefore, the congress aims to bring researchers in these fields together.
