Transfinite Interpolations and Eulerian/Lagrangian Dynamics

André Garon is a full professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. His areas of research include transfinite interpolation methods, time integration methods, finite element approximation of partial differential equations, adaptive mesh adaptation, and fluid-structure interaction modelling. He is the author or coauthor of about 110 papers and has served on the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) granting committee. In 1999, he was awarded the Poly-1873 prize Polytechnique Montréal for his outstanding research achievements in the development of a ventricular assist device (LVAD) in collaboration with the Montréal Heart Institute. Michel C. Delfour is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Montreal in Canada. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Sciences), a former president and Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society. He is SIAM Fellow, and former Guggenheim and Killam Fellow. His areas of research are shape and topological optimal design, analysis and control of delay and distributed parameter systems, control and stabilization of large flexible space structures, numerical methods in differential equations and optimization, and transfinite interpolation.
