From: "Nikos Giannakis"
Subject: Helmholtz multigrid solver f90 ?
I am a current M.Phil. student at University of Wales, Cardiff (UK) and I am
also working for a project at the department of microelectronics of
"Demokritos" research Institute (Greece).
For the project at "Demokritos" research Institute, I need a (2-D and 3-D)
Helmholtz multigrid solver for a general domain in fortran 90.
Please, should be possible to help me?
Yours sincerely
Nikos Giannakis.

WiR Baden-Wurttemberg
Advanced mathematical models are gaining increasing attention in financial
engineering. Contrary to many technical and industrial applications, however,
sophisticated computational techniques are not yet well established here.
Indeed there is still an urgent demand for the enhancement of mathematical
models for a more realistic description of a wide class of phenomena arising
in the world of finance. Equally important are efficient computational
methods for a fast solution of these tasks. Evidently a strong cooperation of
financial practitioners and mathematicians is vital. This workshop provides a
forum for discussing recent advances and innovations in the field as well as
future developments.
Topics:
Multivariate European and American Options
Exotic Options
Levy Processes
High Frequency Financial Data
Financial Model Calibration
Credit Risk
Interest Rate Models
Advanced Numerical Methods
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods
