• Fracture mechanics: a nonlocal approach 

      [SNAP-2026-001-EN] Buczkowski, Nicole; Foss, Mikil; Radu, Petronela (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2026-02-20)
      Nonlocal models consider interactions over a range of distances, not just at a single point. In this snapshot, we give a short introduction to nonlocal modeling, explain how it differs from its local counterpart, and present ...

      [SNAP-2026-008-EN] Hickman, Jonathan (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2026-06-19)
      The geometry of lines is a fundamental part of mathematics and the way we interact with the physical world. Core concepts such as distance and angle, and the accompanying theory of trigonometry, have been studied since ...
