0833 - Nonstandard Finite Element Methods
[OWR-2008-36] (2008) - (10 Aug - 16 Aug 2008)After just over half a century of use, finite element methods are ubiquitous in engineering (where they were first developed) and science. The mathematical analysis of standard conforming finite elements is very well ... -
0810 - Optimal Control of Coupled Systems of PDE
[OWR-2008-13] (2008) - (02 Mar - 08 Mar 2008)Current research in the control of PDEs is focused on highly nonlinear coupled systems of partial differential equations that arise from diverse applications in engineering and science. Dealing with associated control ... -
0826 - Profinite and Asymptotic Group Theory
[OWR-2008-28] (2008) - (22 Jun - 28 Jun 2008)This meeting was focused on asymptotic aspects of group theory. The resulting problems lead, in particular, to the study of infinite groups, with an emphasis on the asymptotic behaviour of their finite quotients. Properties ... -
0829 - Real Analysis, Harmonic Analysis and Applications
[OWR-2008-32] (2008) - (13 Jul - 19 Jul 2008)In the last few years there have been important developments in the point of view and methods of harmonic analysis, and at the same time significant concurrent progress in the application of these to various other fields. ... -
0808 - Representation Theory of Finite Dimensional Algebras
[OWR-2008-9] (2008) - (17 Feb - 23 Feb 2008)Methods and results from the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras have led to many interactions with other areas of mathematics. Such areas include the theory of Lie algebras and quantum groups, commutative ... -
0821 - Schnelle Löser für partielle Differentialgleichungen
[OWR-2008-23] (2008) - (18 May - 24 May 2008)The workshop Schnelle Löser für partielle Differentialgleichungen (Fast Solvers for Partial Differential Equations), organized by Randolph E. Bank (La Jolla), Wolfgang Hackbusch (Leipzig), and Gabriel Wittum (Heidelberg), ... -
0803 - Set Theory
[OWR-2008-2] (2008) - (13 Jan - 19 Jan 2008)This lively workshop presented some of the most exciting recent developments in set theory, including major new results about ordered sets, Banach spaces, determinacy, Ramsey theory, pcf theory, inner models, forcing, ... -
0823 - Stochastic Analysis
[OWR-2008-25] (2008) - (01 Jun - 07 Jun 2008)The talks reviewed several directions in which progress in the general field of stochastic analysis occurred. Several themes were covered in depth: Among these themes a prominent role was played by the SLE (Schramm-Loewner ... -
0805 - Stochastic Analysis in Finance and Insurance
[OWR-2008-4] (2008) - (27 Jan - 02 Feb 2008)This workshop brought together, from all over the world, leading experts and a large number of younger researchers in stochastic analysis and mathematical finance. During a very intense week, participants exchanged many ... -
0812 - The Mathematics and Statistics of Quantitative Risk Management
[OWR-2008-15] (2008) - (16 Mar - 22 Mar 2008)Over the last 20 years risk management has become one of the more challenging tasks in the financial and insurance industries. With the current uncertainty in the financial institutions and markets, risk management is a ... -
0838 - Topologie
[OWR-2008-43] (2008) - (14 Sep - 20 Sep 2008)This conference is one of the few occasions where researchers from many different areas in algebraic and geometric topology are able to meet and exchange ideas. Accordingly, the program covered a wide range of new developments ... -
0843b - Trends and Developments in Complex Dynamics
[OWR-2008-48] (2008) - (19 Oct - 25 Oct 2008)We will focus on five aspects of holomorphic dynamics with recent and substantial progress: holomorphic dynamical systems with more than one active or free critical point, dynamics in several complex variables, Thurston’s ... -
0844 - Von Neumann Algebras and Ergodic Theory of Group Actions
[OWR-2008-49] (2008) - (26 Oct - 01 Nov 2008)The theory of von Neumann algebras has seen some dramatic advances in the last few years. Von Neumann algebras are objects which can capture and analyze symmetries of mathematical or physical situations whenever these ...
