Drift diffusion systems and related problems constitute a significant
problem class with high relevance in applications like semiconductor
devices, porous media flow and electrochemistry. Their appropriate
numerical treatment especially in three space dimensions still is
related to challenges in many fields of numerical analysis. These
include the development and analysis of the mathematical models,
appropriate discretizations which conserve important qualitative
properties, efficient and accurate solvers and the construction of
appropriate discretization meshes.
It is no coincidence that this workshop takes place shortly after the
60th birthday of Dr. Klaus Gärtner, member of WIAS since 1998. During
his career he was able to provide important contributions to the
fields described above. At this workshop, his coworkers provide
insight into their past and present activities, providing new
challenges for the future.
