STRUCTURAL DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS:
Computational Aspects
WORKSHOP
SDS2008
Hotel Porto Giardino, Capitolo, Monopoli, Italy
June 17-20, 2008

The Workshop will take place at the Hotel Villaggio Porto Giardino Capitolo-Monopoli, Bari, Italy

The main aim of this workshop is to put together researchers of different areas, in particular Mathematics and Engineering, to give the opportunity to discussing recent developments in computational methods for:

- numerical methods for ODEs;
- non-smooth dynamical systems;
- dynamical systems with variable structure;
- smooth decomposition of matrices;
- Krylov methods for matrix functions in ODEs;
- numerical methods for ODEs on manifolds.

Both numerical and theoretical aspects of the previous topics will be welcome.
