THE FINALISTS

The Adjudicators of the 11th Leslie Fox Prize have chosen the following six finalists:

Melvin LEOK California Institute of Technology
"Foundations of computational geometric mechanics"

Adam OBERMAN University of Texas
"Monotone numerical schemes for nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations"

Marc SCHWEITZER Universität Bonn
"A parallel multilevel partition of unity method for elliptic partial differential equations"

Tatjana STYKEL University of Calgary
"Balanced truncation model reduction for semidiscretized Stokes equation"

Jared TANNER University of California at Davis
"Adaptive mollifiers for high resolution recovery of piecewise smooth data from its spectral information"

Boris VEXLER Universität Heidelberg
"A posteriori error estimation for finite element discretization of parameter identification problems"

Given the excellent quality of many entries, the work of the adjudicators was far from easy. We are confident that our choice represents an impressive lineup of young numerical analysts, with interests ranging across the subject area.
