This section lists all the events organized in collaboration with the CMCS, both those of an informative nature and those of a training nature.

 

  • School: Trails in kinetic theory: foundational aspects and numerical methods. University of Bonn, Germany. 20-24 May 2019. (website, lecture notes)
The School "Trails in kinetic theory: foundational aspects and numerical methods" will be devoted to foundational aspects of kinetic theory, to its emerging applications in collective phenomena and to the related numerical methods in optimal control and uncertainty quantification. The purpose of this initiative is to enlarge knowledge and effective potentials of kinetic theory on the broad scientific community.

  • School: From interacting particle systems to kinetic equations. University of Verona, Italy. 26-30 November 2018. (website)
Several phenomena in daily life can be described by a system of interacting agents, from natural systems such as cells, swarming dynamics, chemical compounds, organisms or crystals; but also in human artifacts, for example in market economies, crowd dynamics, vehicular traffics, opinion formations, wealth distributions, networks, cybernetics or artificial intelligences.
​The aim of the school "From interacting particle systems to kinetic equations" is to give a general overview on the mathematical modelling of multi-agent systems ranging from their microscopic description up to mesoscopic, and macroscopic approximation.
In particular we will focus on rigorous derivation of mean-field and hydrodynamical models.
​A substantial part of the school will be dedicated to the development of efficient numerical methods for non-linear PDEs models with some tutorial sessions, covering also novel research topics in this field such as optimal control theory, and uncertainty quantification.

  • Workshop: Recent trends in kinetic modelling and related fields. Polytechinc of Turin, Italy. 25-26 October 2018. (poster)
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from various communities who study kinetic theory and its applications. In particular, both young researchers from Italian and foreign universities and researchers with recognized international experience are involved, so as to provide a sufficiently broad scientific overview of the following research areas: (i) analytical methods for classical kinetic theory; (ii) numerical methods for kinetic equations; (iii) kinetic models in biomathematics and socio-economic sciences. A picture of new mathematical challenges arising from the application of kinetic theory from an interdisciplinary perspective will emerge from the work of the workshop.

  • Workshop: Recent advances in multiscale modeling and numerics for hyperbolic and kinetic equations, INdAM Day Ferrara April, 2018. (website)
Goal of the present one-day meeting is to present some state of the art results on modelling and numerical methods for hyperbolic and kinetic problems with particular focus on the challenges represented by the presence of multiple scales.

  • Conference: Numerical Aspects of hyperbolic balance laws and related problems, Ferrara, 16-20 April 2018. (website)
A wide range of phenomena in science and technology may be described by nonlinear partial differential equations, characterizing systems of conservation laws with source terms.
Well known examples are hyperbolic systems with source terms, kinetic equations and convection-reaction-diffusion equations. This class of equations fits several fundamental physical laws and plays a crucial role in applications ranging from plasma physics and geophysics to semiconductor design and granular gases. Recent studies employ the aforementioned theoretical background in order to describe the collective motion of a large number of particles such as: pedestrian and traffic flows, swarming dynamics, opinion control, diffusion of tumor cells and the cardiovascular system.
The goal of the present Workshop is to present some recent numerical results for these problems with a particular focus on multiple scales.
