Olof B. Widlund Prize
The Olof B. Widlund Prize (formally, the Olof B. Widlund Prize for Excellence in Domain Decomposition Methods) is an award in numerical analysis given in the Domain Decomposition Methods (DDM) community. According to ddm.org, it is a prize for an established scientist recognizing contributions to domain decomposition methods (including theory, algorithms, scalable implementation, applications, and community service). The awardee gives a plenary lecture at the next ddm.org conference and receives a certificate and a cash award of €2500.[1]
The prize is named in honor of mathematician Olof B. Widlund.[1]
History
According to ddm.org, the prize was established by the Scientific Committee of ddm.org at DD26 (2020) and awarded for the first time at DD27 (Prague, 2022).[1]
