CMFT 2021

The Federico Santa María Technical University in Valparaíso, Chile, will be hosting the 9th international conference on Computational Methods and Function Theory (CMFT 2021) to be held July 12–16, 2021. http://cmft2021.inf.utfsm.cl/

The conference will be held in memory of Stephan Ruscheweyh, who initiated the series of CMFT conferences and has been the driving force behind all the previous conferences. He was also one of the founding editors of the CMFT Journal. Stephan Ruscheweyh devoted his life to encouraging mathematics research and collaboration internationally. The organisers are honored to contribute to the continuation of his work.

The general theme of the meeting concerns various aspects of interaction of complex variables and scientific computation, including related topics from function theory, holomorphic function spaces, approximation theory and numerical analysis. Another important aspect of the CMFT meetings, previously held in Valparaíso 1989, Penang 1994, Nicosia 1997, Aveiro 2001, Joensuu 2005, Ankara 2009, Shantou 2013, and Lublin 2017, is to promote the creation and maintenance of contacts with scientists from diverse cultures.

The conference program consists of invited one-hour lectures, of invited and contributed 25 minute talks and of poster sessions. The organizers are very proud that the following ten eminent mathematicians have agreed to deliver the plenary one-hour lectures:

Christopher Bishop, Stony Brook
Mario Bonk, UCLA
Martin Chuaqui, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
Nuria Fagella, University of Barcelona
Stephen Gardiner, University College Dublin
Erik Lundberg, Florida Atlantic University
Masatoshi Noumi, Kobe University
Igor Pritsker, Oklahoma State University
Ed Saff, Vanderbilt University
Malik Yonsi, University of Hawaii

Limited funds are expected to be available for partial support of travel/local expenses of participants from developing countries.

NOTE: Stephan Ruscheweyh was a Professor at the UTFSM - Federico Santa María Technical University in Valparaíso, Chile, with the support of DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, in the triennium 1986-1989. Since that time he was a regular Visiting Professor of UTFSM almost every year. In 1989 he initiated the international series of CMFT conferences at UTFSM.
