Subject: New Book, Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications, Second Edition
Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications, Second
Edition by Philippe G. Ciarlet
This new, considerably expanded edition covers the fundamentals of
linear and nonlinear functional analysis, including distribution
theory, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, calculus of
variations, and degree theory. Numerous applications are included,
especially to linear and nonlinear partial differential equations and
to numerical analysis. All the basic theorems are provided with
complete and detailed proofs.
The author has added more than 450 pages of new material and more than
210 problems. The solutions to all of the problems will be made
available on an accompanying website. Two entirely new chapters, one
on locally convex spaces and distribution theory and the other on the
Fourier transform and Calderón– Zygmund singular integral operators,
have also been added. In addition, the chapter on the “great theorems”
of nonlinear functional analysis has been enlarged and split into two
chapters, one on the calculus of variations and the other on Brouwer’s
theorem, Brouwer’s degree, and Leray–Schauder’s degree.

8th IMA Conference on Mathematics in Defence and Security
Mathematics for Decision Support
15 October 2025
The Catalyst, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 5TG
https://ima.org.uk/26135/8th-ima-conference-on-mathematics-in-defence-and-security-mathematics-for-decision-support/
Mathematics is at the heart of evidence-based decision support;
however, any decision requires data collection, data and signal
processing, communications and communication systems to reduce
cognitive burden for the decision maker and improve decision
making. It is also increasingly common for AI to play a role in
summation and processing, meaning that evidence is even more varied in
its utility and applicability. This conference will explore both the
state of the art in terms of data curation, signal processing,
communication and AI to support decision making as well as looking at
the impact of these systems on cognitive load. Importantly this
conference will focus on research that can start to explore the
confluence of these areas in order to underpin decision making in a
rigorous and integrated system. As mathematics begins to underpin more
of the decision-making process, so it becomes more important that that
mathematics is integrated and focussed on providing understandable
evidence to the decision maker. Therefore, how the mathematical
evidence is then communicated becomes as important as how the
mathematics is undertaken. The conference will aim to bring together
a wide variety of participants applying a variety of mathematical
methods with defence and security applications. The programme will
include invited speakers, presentations and poster sessions, as well
as refreshment breaks for informal discussions. It is aimed towards a
cross-discipline audience of mathematicians, scientists, engineers and
communicators from both industry and academia, in addition to
government and military personnel who have an interest in how
mathematics can be applied to defence and security problems. The scope
of the conference includes but is not limited to the following topics:
1. Mathematics for Decision Support
• Decision Support Systems for Defence
• Data mining and Statistical Learning
• Multi-objective and Multi-criteria Optimization
• Data Fusion Systems in Defence Applications
2. Signal Processing and Communications
• Multimodal Signal Processing
• Distributed Signal Processing
• Integrated Communications and Sensing Systems
• Sensor Management for Defence Applications
3. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Machine Learning for Defence Applications
• Cognitive Systems to support Decision Making
• Data Collection and Curation for Defence
Call for Abstracts
Abstracts will be considered for the conference based on a 300 word
abstract for oral presentation. Abstracts should be submitted by 23rd
May 2025 via https://my.ima.org.uk/ If you are an IMA Member or you

Subject: Postdoc position in multiscale modeling of subsurface at University of Texas at El Paso, USA
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Texas at
El Paso invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate
position, funded by the DOE Energy Earthshots project titled “Advanced
Multi-Physics Machine Learning for Subsurface Energy Systems Across
Scales.”
The project aims to build computational models that enhance our
understanding of physical, geomechanical, and geochemical processes
occurring at multiple scales in subsurface energy storage and recovery
systems.
We seek a candidate with a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, computational
science, or a closely related field with expertise in one or more of
the following areas:
*Finite element methods for partial differential equations
*Multiscale numerical methods
*Flow and transport in porous media
*Scientific machine learning
*Programming skills in Python and C++, and prior experience with HPC
The earliest start date of this position is June 2025. The initial
appointment will be for 12 months, with the possibility of renewal for
an additional year, contingent on performance, mutual agreement, and
funding availability. The annual salary is $60,000/year.
Interested candidates should submit (1) Cover Letter, (2) Curriculum
Vitae, (3) Research Statement, and (4) Three Reference Letters through
the UTEP Careers page (Staff employment, Job ID 13362):

Subject: Postdoc position in Numerical Analysis at Charles University, Czechia
A fully funded postdoctoral research position is available within the
framework of the PRIMUS Project "Numerical analysis for non-smooth
partial differential equations" at Charles University in Prague.
The aim of the project is to estimate errors of finite element
discretisations in situations where non-smoothness is a challenge,
both a priori (e.g. without assuming more regularity of the exact
solution than needed) and a posteriori (e.g. for models containing
non-differentiable terms).
Requirements:
* A strong background in the analysis of PDE and numerical analysis,
including the finite element method.
* Programming skills are very desirable.
* A PhD, completed or near completion, prior to starting the position.
The appointment period is two years, with the possibility of an
extension. The starting date is negotiable, but we aim for October
1st to coincide with the beginning of the winter semester. The salary
is competitive for the city of Prague and the position includes
funding to attend conferences and meetings.
To apply, please send the following to Dr. Alexei Gazca via
email ():
* CV including a list of publications.
* Cover letter with the contact information of at least two references.
* One-page research statement.
Application deadline: June 30th.
