Gabriel Gatica gave a plenary conference and a short course at the XV Summer Workshop in Mathematicsconducted at the Mathematics Department of the University of Brasília
Iván Tobar, Journalist UdeC.- Between March 13 and 17, at the University of Brasília (UnB), the XV Summer Workshop in Mathematicsorganized by the Mathematics Department of that house of studies, an event that brought together more than 130 researchers from the area, mainly from Latin America, but also from North America and Europe, around various research topics in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics.
The member of the Center for Research in Mathematical Engineering (CI²MA) of the University of Concepción, and the Mathematical Modeling Center (CMM) of the University of Chile, Gabriel N. Gatica, had an outstanding participation in the meeting, since he was part of the respective Scientific Committee, he gave the workshop entitled ‘Solvability of Mixed Variational Formulations in Hilbert and Banach Spaces‘, and gave one of the eight plenary conferences that the event had, under the title ‘Analysis of Nonlinear and Coupled Nonlinear Problems in Fluid Mechanics via Banach Spaces-Based Mixed Formulations‘.
In it, the also member explains the dsalt ring project, Computer Mathematics for Desalination Processes (ACT 210087) of ANID, “I described some of the most important results obtained in recent years, together with collaborators and thesis students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, on new mixed finite element methods to solve various nonlinear problems in fluid mechanics.”.
Meanwhile, the course, highlights Dr. Gatica, “Thought as a complement to my conference, and aimed at students and academics participating in the workshop, it addressed the main theoretical aspects of the solubility of mixed variational formulations, which are characterized by the introduction of additional unknowns, usually of physical interest, that depend of the original unknowns of the problem”.
His participation in the event arose from the collaboration he has been developing with his colleague from UnB, Yuri Dumaresq Sobralfor several years now. “I met Yuri at a congress in Costa Rica in 2018, and since then we have been working, together with thesis students and other researchers, on various applied models, which include, for example, fluidized beds and magnetic fluxes.Gatica explains. “In fact, this visit to Brasilia also helped me organize, together with Yuri, the co-direction of his student’s doctoral thesis at the University of Brasilia, Saulo Medradowith whom we will work on granular material flows”, adds the also academic from the Department of Mathematical Engineering of the U. de Concepción, who ends by saying that “Saulo will visit me precisely during the second semester of 2023, financed jointly by our basal project of the CMM and the One B”.
