Unlike traditional journals, JMLC focuses on: - Novel computational and learning algorithms - Mathematical insights that explain and improve generalization in ML/DL - Mathematical structures that lead to new learning frameworks and architectures - Theory that translates into computationally realizable methods We particularly welcome: - Insightful analysis of existing models with design implications - PDE-, geometry-, topology-, or physics-inspired learning methods - Inverse problems, imaging, and high-dimensional data applications - Work with open-source implementations for reproducibility JMLC aims to bridge theory and practice -- mathematics not only explains learning, but builds it. Submissions are now open. We warmly invite contributions from numerical mathematics, ML, and computational science communities. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jose E. Castillo jcastillo@sdsu.edu Date: April 14, 2026 Subject: Mimetic Operators Library Enhanced (MOLE) Tutorial, May 12 The Computation Science Research Center (CSRC) at San Diego State University invites you to: A Tutorial on The Mimetic Operators Library Enhanced (MOLE) May 12, 2026 from 10 AM to 12:00 PM. PDT. MOLE is a high-quality numerical library that implements high-order mimetic difference operators to solve PDEs in C++ and MATLAB/Octave. It provides discrete analogs of the most common vector calculus operators: Gradient, Divergence, Laplacian, and Curl. These operators (highly sparse matrices) act on staggered grids (uniform, non-uniform, curvilinear) and preserve locally and globally quantities of interests for systems of conservation laws. This tutorial will cover an introduction to MOLE mimetic difference operators; gradient, divergence, laplacian and curl for C++ and MATLAB /Octave users. Attendants will learn how to use the MOLE library through examples, and also review the installation and guidelines to contribute to the MOLE library. Please, read the Getting Started Section in mole-docs.readthedocs.io/ and install or clone the MOLE library. Installation support will be provided 90-minutes prior to the beginning of the tutorial. The tutorial is free and will be held in person at SDSU's Bioscience Center Auditorium on May 12, 2026 from 10 AM to 12:00 PM U.S. PT, and also online. To register for the tutorial in person or online, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/7KZ8t3zCUxu7f6vB7.

The research focuses on the development of cutting-edge numerical methods: specifically, high-order accurate Lagrangian-type FV and DG schemes on moving polyhedral meshes for the solution of hyperbolic equations, with applications ranging from fluid-dynamics to astrophysics. This position offers a high-level research environment with a strong emphasis on mathematical innovation, international collaboration, and modern numerical implementation. Candidates with a strong interest in programming in compiled languages (such as C and Fortran) and in HPC implementation will be particularly valued. More details can be found at: www.elenagaburro.it/ALcHyMiA.html. Interested candidates are kindly requested to contact Prof. Elena Gaburro at elena.gaburro@univr.it as soon as possible by sending their CV, their bachelor and master transcripts, and a very short summary of their relevant skills for the project. --- Title: Development of novel and effective Arbitrary-Lagrangian- Eulerian ADER FV and DG schemes on moving 3D polyhedral meshes Keywords: Numerical Analysis, Hyperbolic PDEs, Lagrangian Methods, Polygonal & Polyhedral Meshes, High-Order Methods, HPC, Finite Volumes, Discontinuous Galerkin, Fluid-dynamics, Astrophysics. Framework & Topic: The research is funded by the ERC Starting Grant ALcHyMiA (GA 101114995). The candidate will work on the development and validation of new numerical methods (FV/DG type) for nonlinear hyperbolic equations using direct ALE techniques. The goal is to design and validate high-order schemes on classical and degenerate space-time 3D/4D control volumes, implementing them in a parallel Fortran code (HPC). The specific research focus will be tailored to the student's potential and preferences within the project framework.
