Workshop within the GAMM activity group 'Optimization with Partial Differential Equations'

PDE Constrained Optimization - recent challenges and future developments

March 27-29, 2008

in Hamburg

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scientists from the field of Optimization with PDE constraints, and related research areas. The event is organized as a pre-GAMM2008 workshop, with the annual GAMM meeting taking place in Bremen (March 31 - April 4, 2008). The workshop is closely related to the activities of the DFG Priority Programme 1253 'Optimization with Partial Differential Equations', and also to the Collaborative Research Center 609 'Elektromagnetische Strömungsbeeinflussung in Metallurgie, Kristallzüchtung und Elektrochemie'. Within the workshop a meeting of the GAMM activity group 'Optimization with Partial Differential Equations' will take place.
