THE FINALISTS

The Adjudicators of the 13th Leslie Fox Prize have chosen the following seven finalists:

Timo BETCKE University of Manchester
"A GSVD formulation of a domain decomposition method for planar eigenvalue problems"

Laurent DEMANET Stanford University
"Wave atoms and time upscaling of wave equations"

Ioana DUMITRIU University of Washington
"Toward accurate polynomial evaluation in rounded arithmetic"

Daniel KRESSNER University of Zagreb and Umea University
"The effect of aggressive early deflation on the convergence of the QR algorithm"

Emre MENGI University of California at San Diego
"On the estimation of the distance of uncontrollability for higher-order systems"

Yoichiro MORI University of British Columbia
"Convergence proof of a Stokes flow immersed boundary method"

Sheehan OLVER University of Cambridge
"Numerical approximation of highly oscillatory integrals"

There was a very strong entry of 29 submissions for this competition and the adjudicators had a very difficult task to decide on the shortlist. However, we are confident that our choice represents an impressive lineup of young numerical analysts, with interests ranging across the subject area.
