The workshop will focus on three main research areas: Phase transitions, optimal control, and hysteresis. The word "hysteresis" is usually attributed to processes that exhibit a rate independent memory. The physical reason for rate independence relies on structure changes in a hidden microstructure, which are much faster than the observer's time scale. Phase transitions offer a typical example of such a behavior. Due to the lack of smoothness, optimal control of such processes represents a special challenge for mathematicians.
The aim of
this workshop is to bring together experts in all three research directions and
stimulate a discussion on future perspectives of collaboration.
