SNA'25

The Seminar on Numerical Analysis (SNA) started in 2003 and since then it has become an established event for the Czech scientific community working in the field of mathematical modelling, numerical analysis, and computer simulations. The SNA consists of a winter school that comprises invited survey lectures delivered by renown specialists. The winter school is completed with contributed research talks and poster presentations.

SNA'25 is organized by the Department of Applied Mathematics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava jointly with the Institute of Geonics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Ostrava. The conference is under the auspices of the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists and EU-MATHS-IN.CZ. The invited speakers of the winter school are

Prof. Massimiliano Ferronato, University of Padova - Coupled Simulation of Flow and Deformation in Fractured Porous Media: Discretizations, Solvers and Applications,
Prof. Miroslav Tůma, Charles University in Prague - Solving Large Sparse Linear Systems and Least Squares,
Assoc. Prof. Petr Vodstrčil, VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava - Selected Inequalities in the Analysis of Domain Decomposition Methods,
Prof. Jan Vybíral, Czech Technical University in Prague - Mathematics of Neural Networks.

In memory of one of the conference founders, Prof. Radim Blaheta, who passed away in 2022, we introduce The Blaheta Lecture. It will be delivered by

Prof. Ulrich Rude, FAU Erlangen-Nurnberg

SNA'25 is the 17th event in this series. See below for the history of the meetings.

Participants can specify their requests within the registration form or book an accomodation individually. The payment for the accomodation is not included in the conference fee.

Conference contributions

Besides the invited lectures (90 minutes long) of the winter school there are contributed research talks (20 minutes long) and poster presentations. We would be glad if you are interested to present either of them. In this case please indicate whether you prefer a contributed talk or a poster and fill in the title and a short abstract within the registration form. After the acceptance of the contribution the authors will be encouraged to eventually contribute to the conference proceedings with an extended abstract (1-4 pages) according to the template below.
The invited lectures, contributed talks, and posters can be presented in Czech or in English based on the speaker's preference.

Conference proceedings

The conference proceedings will appear electronically to be downloaded before the conference. It will contain presentations of the invited speakers and extended abstracts of the contributed oral and poster presentations.
The extended abstracts have to be prepared in LaTeX using the document class file SNA.CLS, for example see a simple template EXAMPLE.TEX and its output EXAMPLE.PDF. We prefer the contributions written in English. Pictures are supported in usual graphic formats (JPG, PNG, BMP or PDF) and should be included into text by means of the GRAPHICX package. Please, do not use the EPS format for pictures. Source text should use mainly standard LaTeX packages for a document style modification, avoid complicated LaTeX tools, and minimize the number of own environments, macros, and commands.

Programme

The program will be specified later.

Conference venue

The scientific part of the SNA conference will be held at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (room EC1). The registration desk will open on Monday morning and after the lunch the lectures will start. The conference will be closed on Friday before the lunch. Lunches and welcome drink will be served at the university menza. The conference dinner will take place at the Institute of Geonics on Thursday. All the three buildings as well as the university Hotel Garni recommended for accomodation are located in the campus of VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava
