Mathematical and Computational Methods for Modelling, Approximation and Simulation

Domingo Barrera is a Full Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Department of Applied Mathematics of the University of Granada. His current main research line is spline quasi-interpolation and its application to the numerical solution of integral equations and in the use of advanced mathematical techniques for the extraction of parameters in the modelling of nanoelectronic devices and the study of the functional quality of digital models of terrain elevations in engineering. Sara Remogna is a Professor of Numerical Analysis at the University of Torino (Italy). Her research interests include univariate and multivariate spline approximation, numerical methods for computer-aided geometric design, and numerical methods for the solution of differential and integral problems based on spline approximation. Driss Sbibih is a Full Professor of Approximation and Numerical Analysis at the University Mohammed First in Morocco. His research interests are approximation theory by spline functions, computer graphics and numerical analysis. He has a long experience in international cooperation, especially with universities in Spain, France and Italy.
