9) Postdoctoral positions at the University of Oslo Department of Informatics

The Scientific Computing group at the Department of Informatics has been awarded funding for two post-doc positions. Applicants should have completed, or be close to completing, a Ph.D. in scientific computing, preferably within the field of computations based on partial differential equations. Good programming skills and knowledge of numerical methods are expected. The activity of the group is presented at

http://www.ifi.uio.no/siv/Research/projects.shtml

The post-docs will work on one of the projects within the group. Both positions are funded for two-years. Candidates are encouraged to send an application by e-mail including a CV and a list of publications by May 1.

Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 11) Problem: We can use some univariate functions to approximate a multivariate function. But can we construct these univariate functions for any multivariate function?

Thanks!
