The focus of this workshop was the modeling, analysis and numerical simulation of biological membranes. The fundamental models which characterize equilibria are based on bending energies such as the Helfrich energy and ...

Living structures are highly heterogeneous systems that consist of distinct regions made up of characteristic cell types with a specific structural organization. During evolution, development, disease, or environmental ...

The mathematical framework of approximate entropic learning introduced very recently promises to provide robust, cheap and efficient ways of machine learning in the so called "small data" regime, when the underlying learning ...

The unifying theme of the workshop was the mathematical modeling, analysis, and numerical simulation of materials which involve magnetic and elastic interactions. During the workshop we identified several open problems ...

The discussion on solvency regulation for financial institutions, in particular the demand for appropriate risk measures, led to an axiomatic approach (coherent risk measures, Artzner et a. (2004)) which is now generally ...

This mini-workshop brought together established researchers and newer entrants in the field of cell motility, a challenging research area located at the crossroads of biology, mathematics and physics. Cell locomotion ...

The mini-workshop was devoted to the spectral analysis of random Schrödinger-type operators. While this topic has been intensively studo ied by physicists and mathematicians for several decades, more recently there has ...

The mini-workshop focussed on the modular representation theory of the symmetric group and other closely related objects, including Hecke algebras and Schur algebras. The topics and problems discussed include computations ...

Negative curves play a prominent role in the geometry of projective surfaces. They occur naturally as the irreducible components of exceptional loci of resolutions of surface singularities, at the same time, they are closely ...
