PREFACE: SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE OCCASION OF THE 4TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SET-ORIENTED NUMERICS (SON 13, DRESDEN, 2013)

摘要

This issue comprises manuscripts collected on the occasion of the 4th International Workshop on Set-Oriented Numerics which took place at the Technische Universitat Dresden in September 2013. The contributions cover a broad spectrum of diffierent subjects in computational dynamics ranging from purely discrete problems on graphs to computer assisted proofs of bifurcations in dissipative PDEs. In many cases, ideas related to set-oriented paradigms turn out to be useful in the computations, for example by quantizing the state space, or by using interval arithmetic to perform rigorous computations.
