Subject: Monthly Seminar Series
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the CIGMO seminar series, hosted
by Brown University, NYU, and Georgia Tech.
The Center for Information Geometric Mechanics and Optimization CIGMO) is
focused on developing new approaches to treating inequality constraints in
computational mechanics, tackling problems spanning solid and fluid
mechanics to multi-physics applications and optimal design.
Through this seminar series, we aim to showcase researchers who will not only
present their latest, cutting-edge work but also share their personal insights on
the future of this research area.
The seminars will be held in a hybrid format, with options for both in-person
attendance at the host university and virtual participation via Zoom.
We tentatively plan to hold seminars monthly on Wednesdays at 11:00 (Eastern
Standard Time).
For updates and future events, please visit our website at
https://cigmo.github.io or subscribe to our mailing list at

Inaugural Seminar
Date and Time: Wednesday, 24 September 2025 at 11:00 (EST)
Presenter: Dr. Rami Masri (Brown University)
Title: A priori error analysis of the proximal Galerkin method
Location: 170 Hope St., Room 108, Providence, RI.
Zoom: https://brown.zoom.us/j/95559249589?
pwd=pacFQr8a7fBwbYn8NEdB86cca0VBsA.1
Abstract: The proximal Galerkin (PG) method is a finite element method for
solving variational problems with inequality constraints. It has several
advantages, including constraint-preserving approximations and mesh
independence. This talk presents the first abstract a priori error analysis of the
PG method, providing a general framework to establish convergence and error
estimates. As applications of the framework, we demonstrate optimal
convergence rates for both the obstacle and Signorini problems using various
finite element subspaces.

Subject: Spring School on Numerical Approximation of Waves, March 2026
We are happy to announce a spring school on 'Numerical Approximation of
Waves - Multiple Scales and High Frequencies', which will take place from
March 23 to March 27, 2026 at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.
The school focuses on the numerical approximation of complex wave
propagation phenomena in heterogeneous and high-frequency contexts. Application examples range from classical scattering problems to wave
propagation in metamaterials. These types of problems present significant
challenges to standard discretization methods, as they often necessitate
extremely fine meshes to produce meaningful approximations. The school will
present strategies for reliable simulations at a feasible computational cost
using problem-specific discretization techniques.
Lectures will be given by
- Martin Averseng (University of Angers)
- Euan Spence (University of Bath)
- Barbara Verfürth (University of Bonn)

Dear colleagues,
we would like to make you aware of the article collection entitled "Advances in
Surrogate Modelling" in the Taylor & Francis journal Mathematical and
Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems, for which we are currently
collecting submissions. All details on the collection and the submission process
are available here:
https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/article_collections/advances-in-surrogate-modelling/?_ga=2.130418380.214880868.1757933113-1160618892.1757933111
This Article Collection on "Advances in Surrogate Modelling" aims at providing
the latest significant advances in the applications of mathematical and
computational methods that are capable of constructing compact models for
dynamic behaviour that can be simulated, optimized, and controlled efficiently.
The construction of a surrogate model plays an essential role for the handling
of outer-loop and many-query applications. Only due the low complexity of
such a model, tasks such as optimization and control are numerically tractable
and efficient. Thus, surrogate modelling is often a necessary step that must be
performed before further investigations are possible.
For this article collection, we invite manuscripts on the following non-exhaustive list of topics:
* Systems-theoretic model order reduction techniques
* Data-driven techniques for model order reduction and system identification
* Structure-preserving or -exploiting techniques
* Numerical and software aspects of surrogate modelling
* Applications in science and engineering
The deadline to submit a manuscript is 31st December 2025. All submitted
articles will undergo peer review and should they be accepted will be required
to pay an article publishing charge. If you decide to contribute, you will be
eligible to receive a 10% Discount by using the Coupon Code NMCM-2025-C35784
at the point of submission. In addition to this there are a limited amount of 20%
Discount coupon codes available on for those who can submit before the
deadline.
Please note that discounts codes cannot be combined, and that only the higher
discount would apply, nor can they be applied retroactively.
