SCOPE

Over the last decade one can observe a very important research activity in the field of matrix functions, using tools both from numerical linear algebra and approximation theory. Matrix functions are useful tools not only in applied mathematics and scientific computing, but also in various other fields like control theory, elecromagnetism or the research on complex networks like social networks. The present meeting includes four comprehensive 4h-lectures about matrix functions and their applications. As such we cordially invite both confirmed reseachers and PhD students in related fields to attend this meeting and to learn more about this subject. [français]

PROGRAM

The meeting, being part of the "First Thematic Semester Painlevé-CEMPI-Phlam 2013", will take place from Wednesday 9h30 to Friday 18h00. It consists of four lectures of 4 hours each covering the different aspects of the subject and and their applications. For those participants who have not seen much about matrix functions and have some time before the spring school, these lecture notes contain basics on matrix functions, a kind of "crash course for beginners". We will also organize a poster session for contributions of the participants.

The following speakers agreed to deliver a 4h lecture.

LOCATION OF THE SPRING SCHOOL

The spring school takes place at the Université de Lille 1, Salle de Réunion, Bâtiment M2 (first floor), Cité Scientifique, Villeneuve d'Ascq, in the north of France. This lecture hall is located in the main building M2 of the department of mathematics. Some useful links

REGISTRATION AND ACCOMODATION

There is no inscription fee, but registration before April 30 is mandatory, please use the following form. The update of the list of participants will be done manually on a regular basis.

We reserved 17 rooms in the student residence Bachelard on the campus of the university for a moderate price (about 15 E/night). Please let us know as soon as possible and before April 15 if you want us to reserve a room in this student residence on the campus [Map | Instructions | List].

We have reserved 10 rooms in the following hotel

until April 15. This hotel is close to the railway station Lille Flandres, with metro connections to the university. For a room, please contact directly the hotel and mention "conference ssmf2013, Laboratoire Painlevé, University of Lille" at your reservation. Some other hotels which are in the same areay for about the same price (but without prereservation):

We have also listed two AppartHotels which propose rooms for 1-4 people, without breakfirst but with small citchen. They are also downtown Lille, but a bit further away from the railway stations. If you want to search for a hotel yourself.

SOCIAL EVENTS

On Thursday May 16, 2013, the conference dinner will take place at 20h in the restaurant "Aux Moules", 34, rue de Béthune, 59000 Lille, Tél : 03 20 57 12 46, in the pedestrian zone not far from the railway station Lille Flandres, and Hotel St. Maurice.
