Just to remind that there will be a FNRS Contact Group in Numerical Analysis 
on Friday 5 December 1997, in Faculte Polytechnique de Mons, Salle Academique, 
boulevard Dolez 31, B-7000 Mons.

The theme is: 'Numerical methods in ordinary and partial differential
               equations'.

A tentative schedule is:

 9h30-10h00    Welcome
10h00-11h00 W. Schiesser (Lehigh University, Bethlehem, USA):
      'Space and time adaptivity in the numerical integration
       of partial differential equations' ,
11h30-12h00 Tanja Van Hecke (Universiteit Gent,  Vakgroep Toegepaste
     Wiskunde en Informatica): 'Mono-implicit Runge-Kutta-Nystr\"om
      Methods : efficient IRKN methods' ,
12h00-12h30 Jo Simoens (K.U.Leuven Department of Computer Science):
      'Fast Direct Solvers as Preconditioner in Waveform Relaxation' ,
12h30-14h30 LUNCH
14h30-15h00  Bart Sijnave (Vakgroep Toegepaste Wiskunde en Informatica
       Universiteit Gent): 'Continuation of codimension 2 equilibrium
       bifurcations in {\sc CONTENT}' ,
15h15-16h15 P. Zegeling (Math. Dept. Utrecht University, The Netherlands):
       'An adaptive grid method based on smoothed equidistribution and its
        application to PDEs with higher-order derivatives' ,
16h30-17h00 Gerard Degrez (von Karman Institute): 'Implicit upwind residual
       distribution schemes for Euler/Navier-Stokes equations' ,
17h00-17h30 Alain Vande Wouwer (Faculte Polytechnique de Mons):
        'Numerical Experiments with the Moving Finite Element Method' .


The boulevard Dolez is on the circular road circling the city of Mons,
you can find more details on the Faculte Polytechnique Internet site:

People needing a refund of travel expenses will be given a certificate.

The lunch at the University restaurant will be arranged for a reasonable
price, about 250FB.

The complete programme will be placed SOON on my home page at

                                     Hope to see many of you!
                            Best,   A. Magnus,    magnus@anma.ucl.ac.be
