Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual

Partial differential equations, optimal design and numerics

2009, Aug 23 -- Sep 04

Organizers:
G. Buttazzo (U. Pisa)
E. Zuazua (U. Autónoma Madrid)

The workshop is intended to provide a fruitful atmosphere for discussions and joint research work on themes involving partial differential equations and their applications to shape optimization, optimal control problems, singularities in fracture mechanics and fluid dynamics, and numerical analysis.

The work will be focused on new research trends in the fields above, in order to stimulate collaborations mong participants by means of various activities on the basis of a daily programme (talks, seminars, minicourses, discussions,...)

The activity is mainly intended for young scientists as PhD students and post- docs, and will be held thanks to the participation of a number of world leader mathematicians.

This session constitutes the third edition of an activity that we launched in 2005 and continued in 2007. The 2005 and 2007 editions attracted about 80 participants each. This session has received financial support from the following institutions: BBVA, Ayuntamiento de Benasque, Universitat de Barcelona, Universidad de Zaragoza, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Project SIMUMAT of the Madrid region, RSME, SEMA, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, CIMPA, Università degli Studi di Pisa, BCAM.
