A conference dinner is being planned for October 8.
A preliminary detailed version of the program is available (dvi, pdf).
Topics
- Variational methods in nonlinear elasticity.
- Variational models for material behavior.
- Homogenization and relaxation methods.
- Nonconvex problems.
- Shape optimization.
- Free discontinuity problems.
Objective
To gather the current generation of researchers on Calculus of Variations
and related areas and assess current developments.
Participation
Graduate students and post-doc fellows in applied mathematics
(functional
analysis, differential equations, calculus of variations,
optimization,...) and
engineering (mechanics, materials,...) are encouraged to submit their
applications to participate. Some financial support will be provided to
cover
local expenses for selected applicants.
Conference location
The conference sessions will be held at CMAF in Lisbon. Facilities available include library, computer rooms, restaurant and coffee shop.
A neighborhood map is also available.
About Lisbon
Lisbon, the capital
of Portugal and its largest city, lies in the north bank of the Tagus
(Tejo) in the portuguese western coast. Foreign visitors will probably
arrive at Lisbon's international airport with an easy and inexpensive connection (about 15
minutes) by taxi (although rates depend on several factors final taxi fare should be less than US $10 / 10 euros / 2000 escudos) or express bus to the hotels mentioned in the suggested
accomodations section or to CMAF. Towns of touristic interest like Cascais, Sintra
and Mafra are within a one hour drive from Lisbon or easily reachable
using public transportation.
Suggested accommodation for participants
(1000 escudos = 5.5 US dollars = 5
euros)
