First announcement/Call for participation
International Spring School on
Matrix Functions and their applications (SSMF2013)

Laboratoire Paul Painlevé
University Lille 1, France
May 15-17 , 2013


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, electromagnetism or the research on complex networks like social networks. This school includes four comprehensive 4h-lectures about matrix functions and their applications covering different topics, from theoretical and approximation subjects to computational aspects, including applications like graphs, networks and linear control.


We cordially invite both confirmed reseachers and PhD students in related fields to attend this meeting and to learn more about this subject.
