Forefront of PDEs: Modelling, Analysis and Numerics

The aim of the workshop is to present the latest results on the modelling, analysis, and numerical approximation of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The topics include classical and quantum mechanical kinetic theory and nonlinear PDEs describing diffusive or dispersive phenomena, with applications in physics, biology, and social sciences. The workshop will celebrate the 60th birthday of Peter A. Markowich.

We acknowledge financial support of the Wiener Städtische, FWF Der Wissenschaftsfonds, and Technische Universität Wien.
