Subject: Babuska Prize
2000 BABUSKA PRIZE AWARDED
In December 2000, the Czech Association for Mechanics and the Union
of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists again awarded the I. Babuska
Prize for the best work in scientific computing submitted by students and
young scientists.
The Prize winner for 2000 is Dr Gabriela Holubova from the Faculty of
Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. The
work honored was her PhD thesis Systems of evolution partial
differential equations: the existence and qualitative properties of
solutions. Let us mention that she got a diploma of honor in the
category of MS theses already in 1997.
Further winners were delivered diplomas of honor. The second was Dr
Marek Brandner from the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University
of West Bohemia in Pilsen with his PhD thesis Numerical modeling of
dynamics of nonmiscible viscous incompressible fluids.
The third position was taken by Dr Tatiana V. Guy from the Faculty of
Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague
who presented her PhD thesis Hybrid adaptive controller.
Further diplomas of honor were delivered to MS theses. The first in
this category, Tomas Vejchodsky from the Faculty of Mathematics and
Physics of the Charles University in Prague, was honored for his
diploma work A posteriori error estimates with the method of lines
for parabolic equations.
The second and third positions were awarded together to Jaroslav Hron
(Texas A&M University at College Station, TX, U.S.A.) for his thesis
Characterization of solid-fluid mixtures and Martin Kukacka (Faculty
of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague) for
his thesis Stokes problem for nonlinear rheologies.
Further positions were occupied as follows. 4th: Petr Necesal, 5th:
Ales Matas, both from the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the
University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, 6th: David Horak from the
Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the
VSB-Technical University in Ostrava.
The prize as well as the diplomas are awarded every year and they are
connected with a financial support.
The prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech
mathematician Ivo Babuska. He was born in Prague and after graduating from the
Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague he
started his work in the Mathematical Institute of the Academy of
Sciences. He was appointed professor in Prague in 1968 and since fall
1968 he has been working in the United States. Since 1995 he works at
the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics,
University of Texas, Austin, TX.
His scientific work is focused on numerical and applied mathematics
and computational mechanics, and their use in practice. His results in
the finite element method belong to the fundamentals of the method. He is
the author of several monographs and has initiated several famous
scientific meetings both in Europe and the United States. He
established the journal Applications of Mathematics (formerly Aplikace
matematiky) in 1956.
