Professor Martin
Stynes
I’m interested in the design and analysis of numerical methods for
singularly perturbed differential equations. This includes
convection-diffusion problems, linearized Navier-Stokes equations and the
like.
I am a member of the editorial
boards of the journals Advances
in Computational Mathematics, Advances in Numerical Analysis, Computational Methods in Applied
Mathematics , International
Journal of Computing Science and Mathematics , and the Mathematical
Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy.
To get a more precise idea of my interests, look at the list of publications
and preprints since 1991.
To contact me, you can use (this list is in order of decreasing
desirability)

is in the same time zone as Great Britain,
so usually we are one hour behind most of western continental Europe (France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, etc.) and five hours ahead of the east
coast of the USA.

To stay human, I dabble in some non-mathematical activities:
- gardening, but I'm a
better spectator than participant
- eating interesting
food, especially Chinese!
- enjoying (immensely)
foreign travel
- jogging (now
abandoned in favour of exercise bike)
- occasional
orienteering
- talking/chatting
(like all Irish people)
History:
For the period 2003 – 2005 I was President of the UK/Republic
of Ireland Section of SIAM. I was an Editor of the SIAM Journal on Numerical
Analysis for the period 1998-2003.
Hans-Görg Roos, Pieter Hemker and I have organised three Oberwolfach
conferences on numerical methods for singularly perturbed differential
equations; group photos of these meetings are at 1995,
1998,
2001. Hans-Görg and I
organized a further mini-workshop in this area at Oberwolfach in 2003.
“Eine Tasse Tee, so bei Sonnenaufgang, wenn man
fröstelnd im Westwind steht, während die Insel der Heilegen sich noch im
Morgendunst vor der Sonne verbarg; auf dieser Insel also wohnt das einzige
Volk Europas, das nie Eroberungszüge unternahm, wohl selbst einige Male
erobert wurde, von Dänen, Normannen, Engländern --- nur Priester schickte es,
Mönche, Missionare, die --- auf dem seltsamen Umweg über Irland --- den Geist
thebaischer Askese nach Europa brachten; vor mehr als tausend Jahren lag
hier, so weit außerhalb der Mitte, als ein Exzentrikum, tief in der Atlantik
hineingerutscht, Europas glühendes Herz…”
Heinrich Böll,
Irisches Tagebuch (1957)
English translation by
L.Vennewitz (1983): "A cup of tea, at dawn, while standing shivering in
the west wind, the isle of saints still hiding from the sun in the morning
mist: here on this island, then, live the only people in Europe that never
set out to conquer, although they were conquered several times, by Danes,
Normans, Englishmen --- all they sent out was [sic] priests, monks,
missionaries who, by way of this strange detour via Ireland, brought the
spirit of Thebaic ascetisism to Europe; here, more than a thousand years ago,
so far from the centre of things, as if it had slipped way out into the
Atlantic, lay the glowing heart of Europe."
