New Frontiers in Homogenization and Fractional Calculus
to March 25, 2025
Venue: CRM Auditorium
*Free registration but mandatory through SIGN IN
Introduction
This event is organized to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the mathematical technique known as Γ-convergence, introduced by Ennio De Giorgi and Tullio Franzoni in 1975.
Originally developed for applied purposes, this technique remains a fundamental tool in the study of various scientific applications, such as homogenization, phase transitions, and the asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations. At the same time, there has been a growing interest within the scientific community in the study of nonlocal problems, which are primarily recognized for their probabilistic significance. In addition to representing a particularly challenging area of mathematics, these problems have become increasingly relevant in material science applications.
Proposals from both speakers and the audience are extremely welcome.
