Scope of the workshop

The main objective is to bring together experts on applications of group theory to difference schemes with practitioners of numerical methods. We consider it extremely important to establish bridges between recent theoretical developments, mainly aimed at obtaining exact analytical solutions, and other developments concerning numerical algorithms. The results of the workshop, as presented in the talks and discussions should be summed up in a book which we hope will be a monograph and thus of permanent value.

The topics we plan to discuss include the following:

1. Lie group methods in numerics
2. Symmetry preserving discretization of differential equations.
3. Symmetries of discrete systems
4. Symbolic algebra calculations
5. Discrete differential forms
6. Infinite dimensional algebras of vector fields and groups of
integrators, dynamical systems
7. Symmetries and numerics of computer vision
8. Other related topics.
