Folks:
I am trying to set up a meeting with professor Don Kouri of the University of Houston and I believe you may have an interest in the topic of discussion. If you know of other interested parties, or want to substitute a proxy for yourselves, please let me know. This first meeting with Dr. Kouri will introduce the participants to his area of research (HDAFs for data analysis) and allow us to define the contents and attendants of a seminar (to come up soon). We are looking to hold this discussion this week (hopefully) and to have the seminar happen before Christmas (given that this is the in-between semester season for schools). A couple of other similar meetings will follow up: Dr Kevin Bassler will be talking about Microscopic Simulation of Economic Markets and Dr. Pinsky about the Effect of Solar phenomena on the Earth's atmosphere.

For possible topics to be discussed at a small ``roundtable'' format meeting, here are some possibilities. 1. HDAFs for data analysis, including ``gap-filling'', data extrapolation, denoising, mathematical manipulations of digital data (e.g., taking derivatives, applying functions of differential operators to digital data, etc.) 2. HDAFs as the basis of numerical algorithms for solving nonlinear partial differential equations, particularly for equations for which existing methods encounter stability problems. There are certainly other areas of interest and applications of the HDAFs but I think that even trying to do both of the above in a single meeting would be difficult. Of course, in this first meeting we would focus on general aspects of the HDAFs that make them robust for such applications. If, however, you have other topics in which you are interested, I am willing to focus on them. Regarding timing of a meeting, I am free from teaching duties now so I am flexible. I will be in Houston all of December. I look forward to hearing more from you. With best wishes, Don Kouri
