The objective of this conference is to bring together various local and international researchers and young academics working in the area of calculus of variations and partial differential equations with applications to geometric optics and free material design. A lot of open problems persist in these two industrial areas that require development of abstract mathematics mainly related to minimal surfaces, Minkowski optimization, optimal transport, and Monge-Kantorovich Equation.

 

Please register using the form on the conference website by 15 April. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 15 May.

The conference is partly supported by the University of Warsaw. The conference was partially supported by the Research Grant 2015/19/P/ST1/02618 from the National Science Centre, Poland, entitled ”Variational Problems in Optical Engineering and Free Material Design”. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 665778.

The conference takes place in room 403.
