Variational Methods for Evolving Objects
Month: July 2012
Date: July 30--August 3
Name: Variational Methods for Evolving Objects
Location: Room 3-309, Faculty of Science Building #3, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.
Description
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading experts and researchers working on various aspects of non-smooth solutions of important nonlinear partial differential equations describing evolving shape and pattern. The fields which will be covered are the theory of viscosity solutions, variational analysis, asymptotic analysis, real analysis and stochastic analysis. The participants are expected to have an overview of up-to-date status of research on the respective subject. There will be a poster session during the workshop, which will provide an ideal platform for young researchers to interact with senior scientists.
