      [OWR-2010-24] (2010) - (30 May - 05 Jun 2010)
      Phase transitions are common phenomena which occur in many fields of material sciences. Models of phase transitions in diverse physical systems often lead to ill-posed mathematical problems whose solutions are characterized ...

      In focus are interacting stochastic systems with many components, ranging from stochastic partial differential equations to discrete systems as interacting particles on a lattice moving through random jumps. More specifically ...

    • 1005 - New Directions in Simulation, Control and Analysis for Interfaces and Free Boundaries 

      [OWR-2010-7] (2010) - (31 Jan - 06 Feb 2010)
      The field of mathematical and numerical analysis of systems of nonlinear partial differential equations involving interfaces and free boundaries is a flourishing area of research. Many such systems arise from mathematical ...

      [OWR-2010-16] (2010) - (28 Mar - 03 Apr 2010)
      During the years 1975-1990 a major emphasis in nonparametric estimation was put on computing the asymptotic minimax risk for many classes of functions. Modern statistical practice indicates some serious limitations of the ...
