• 1307a - Mini-Workshop: Numerical Upscaling for Media with Deterministic and Stochastic Heterogeneity 

      [OWR-2013-7] (2013) - (10 Feb - 16 Feb 2013)
      This minisymposium was third in series of similar events, after two very successful meetings in 2005 and 2009. The aim was to provide a forum for an extensive discussion on the theoretical aspects and on the areas of ...
    • 0518a - Mini-Workshop: Numerical Upscaling: Theory and Applications 

      [OWR-2005-20] (2005) - (01 May - 07 May 2005)
      Numerical upscaling is often the only way in which various multiscale problems can be handled. Numerics related to solving auxiliary problems appearing in asymptotic homogenization, as well as numerical treatment of ...
    • 1022 - Phase Transitions 

      [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 ...
    • 0718b - Progress in Surface Theory 

      [OWR-2007-24] (2007) - (29 Apr - 05 May 2007)
      The theory of surfaces has undergone substantial changes in recent years, with many different active areas at this point in time. It has become mainstream to study minimal surfaces and constant mean curvature surfaces in ...
    • 1018 - Progress in Surface Theory 

      [OWR-2010-21] (2010) - (02 May - 08 May 2010)
      The theory of surfaces is interpreted these days as a prototype of submanifold geometry and is characterized by the substantial application of PDE methods and methods from the theory of integrable systems, in addition to ...
    • Simulation of Multibody Systems with Servo Constraints through Optimal Control 

      [OWP-2015-18] Altmann, Robert; Heiland, Jan (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)
      We consider mechanical systems where the dynamics are partially constrained to prescribed trajectories. An example for such a system is a building crane with a load and the requirement that the load moves on a certain path. ...
    • 1746 - Variational Methods for Evolution 

      [OWR-2017-54] (2017) - (12 Nov - 18 Nov 2017)
      Many evolutionary systems, as for example gradient flows or Hamiltonian systems, can be formulated in terms of variational principles or can be approximated using time-incremental minimization. Hence they can be studied ...
    • 2038 - Variational Methods for Evolution (hybrid meeting) 

      [OWR-2020-29] (2020) - (13 Sep - 19 Sep 2020)
      Variational principles for evolutionary systems take advantage of the rich toolbox provided by the theory of the calculus of variations. Such principles are available for Hamiltonian systems in classical mechanics, gradient ...
