Summer school on Applied Analysis for Materials in Berlin

This School is devoted to the mathematical modeling and analysis of various types of materials like solitons, inelastic solids, and more. The main weight is put on the foundations and description of methods and results from applied analysis that are used to describe these materials and their physical properties, which are essentially several types of partial differential equations. Phenomena like damages, viscosity, phase separation, waves and more are discussed. Mathematical topics covered comprise gradient flows, (stochastic) homogenisation, variational inequalities and much more. The speakers are well-known mathematicians working in applied fields.
The School is primarily aimed at graduate students, but also to postdocs, working in applied analysis or physics with strong mathematical flavour.

  

Speakers include:

Uwe Bandelow (WIAS): Basic equations of classical soliton theory: solutions and applications

Dietmar Hömberg (TU Berlin and WIAS): Optimal control and shape design problems in thermomechanics

Dorothee Knees (Uni Kassel): Evolutionary variational inequalities in the context of inelastic solids

Claude Le Bris (ENPC): Nonperiodic homogenization of elliptic equations: stochastic and deterministic approaches

Alexander Mielke (HU Berlin and WIAS): Multiscale modeling and evolutionary Gamma-convergence for gradient flows

Christoph Ortner (U Warwick): Atomistic/Continuum Multiscale Methods

Mark A. Peletier (TU Eindhoven): Stochastic origins of energies and gradient flows: a modelling  guide

The final lecture schedule will be available on this website in the near future. Until that time, we kindly ask you to refrain from making enquiries about it. Please find a link to the abstracts below.
