主 题： Han Houde and Huang Zhongyi won the 2008 Pieter Hemker Prize

Profs. Han Houde and Huang Zhongyi of Tsinghua University won the 2008 Pieter Hemker Prize
given at the International Conference
( BAIL 2008 )
Boundary and Interior Layers - Computational & Asymptotic Methods University of Limerick, Ireland, July 28 - August 1, 2008.

According to the prize citation, Houde Han, Zhongyi Huang, and R. Bruce Kellogg were awarded the 2008 Pieter Hemker Prize
"for their contribution to the goal of designing the best computational algorithm for the Hemker problem". The cited work was their development of "the tailored finite point method" for singularly perturbed problems.

Entrants for the prize were judged based on their ability to address the following two objectives:

1. To compute numerical approximations for all values of the singular perturbation parameter within the range [1e-8,1] with a prescribed global pointwise accuracy.

2. To minimise the amount of computational work (on a desktop computer) to achieve any prescribed tolerance."
