The first part of this volume gathers the lecture notes of the courses
of the "XVII Escuela Hispano-Francesa", held in Gijón, Spain, in June
2016. Each chapter is devoted to an advanced topic and presents
state-of-the-art research in a didactic and self-contained way. Young
researchers will find a complete guide to beginning advanced work in
fields such as High Performance Computing, Numerical Linear Algebra,
Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations and Quantum Mechanics
Simulation, while experts in these areas will find a comprehensive
reference guide, including some previously unpublished results, and
teachers may find these chapters useful as textbooks in graduate
courses.
The second part features the extended abstracts of selected research
work presented by the students during the School. It highlights new
results and applications in Computational Algebra, Fluid Mechanics,
Chemical Kinetics and Biomedicine, among others, offering interested
researchers a convenient reference guide to these latest advances.
