for their contribution to the goal of
designing the best computational algorithm for the Hemker problem.
Entrants for the prize were judged based on
their ability to address the following two objectives:
1. To compute numerical approximations for all values of the singular
perturbation parameter within the range [1e-8,1] with a prescribed global pointwise accuracy.
2. To minimise the amount of computational work (on a desktop computer) to
achieve any prescribed tolerance.
The novelty and generality of the proposed solution strategies was also
considered when evaluating submissions for the prize.
Applicants for the prize submited a paper which
describes the proposed method of solution and presents sample numerical output
displaying the unique advantages of the proposed computational method.
Sufficient evidence had to be given to support claims made by the applicant.
Relevant references had also to be included.
Applicants presented a talk at the BAIL conference based on their application.
