In this lecture series, we will give an overview of multiscale methods and discuss their applications and algorithms. The course will consist of lectures in the mornings and exercise sessions in the afternoons.

We will discuss the following topics:

1. General introduction to multiscale problems.
2. Homogenization and numerical homogenization. Basic concepts and applications.
3. Global model reduction techniques.
4. Multiscale finite element methods and local model reduction. Linear 
and nonlinear problems.
5. Applications and algorithms.

We intend the lectures for both graduate and undergraduate students, 
and particularly encourage graduate students and young researchers 
to participate in this course.

Main Instructor:

Professor Yalchin Efendiev is a leading expert in multiscale modeling and simulation. He currently serves as Mobil Chair in Computational Science,Director of the Institute for Scientific Computation (ISC), and Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University. 
He is also the Director of the Numerical Porous Media SRI Center (NumPor) at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).

Financial support:

We will provide free board and accommodations for selected graduate students during the winter school. Please contact Lijian Jiang(ljjiang@hnu.edu.cn) for further information.
