When and where
Tuesdays, 10:00-11:30, BZ09, 9th floor, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1.
We plan to meet in person, if at all possible. Access is solely regulated by
the current University prescriptions. Still, participants might voluntary
consider getting tested on the previous day. In-person participation
is rewarded by coffee (bring your cup).
On the other hand, everybody
is welcome to connect remotely via
zoom, if preferred. Just mail ulisse.stefanelli@univie.ac.at to receive the link.
What
This is the weekly scientific-discussion meeting of the research group
on 'Applied Maths and Modeling', as well as of other members of
the Viennese Calculus of Variations community.
The seminar will offer the opportunity of getting in touch with
classical themes and recent developments in the Calculus of
Variations.
All participants are welcome to contribute by
presenting a topic and by taking part in informal
discussions.
Occasionally, scientific guests will also be invited to
present.
Each student participant will be required to participate to most
weekly meetings and to deliver a very well-prepared presentation (25-35 min.) on a preassigned topic.
The seminar is held in English.
