book of abstracts
The workshop will focus on the methods and results for evolution problems driven by functionals and applications. Emphasis will be given to gradient flows for free energy or entropy as well as to generalized gradient and rate-independent systems and dissipative Hamiltonian systems, also in a multiscale setting. The issue of the variational approximation of evolution will be also covered. The many applications of this wide range of techniques may include thermomechanical and materials modeling, stochastic models, multi-particle systems, transition from discrete to continuum, quantum mechanics, and reaction-diffusion systems.
