DFG SFB 555 Complex Nonlinear Processes

4–5 December 2009

Humboldt–University, Berlin, Campus Adlershof

Goals and Topics

The physical and mathematical understanding of real world as well as simulation based virtual world phenomena needs support by stochastically reduced low dimensional conceptual models. The modern scientific approach to modelling consists of two components:
a) the derivation of a physically proper system of mathematical equations and their further study by analytical and numerical methods;
b) model calibration, i.e. estimation of parameters of the model from the real data in order to obtain predictions which can be used in practice. 

The scope of building the background of the workshop range from models for glacial meta-stability to medicine relevant models of human walking dynamics. Their mathematical backbone is non-linear stochastic (partial) differential equations with external periodic or internal feedback forcing. Their effective dynamics features random transitions between meta-stable states whereas the stochastic analysis of these dynamical systems focuses on asymptotic properties such as attractors, bifurcations, hysteresis, stochastic resonance, and Lyapunov stability.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together international experts in mathematical physics, stochastic processes and statistics working on stochastic modelling of climatic processes, reaction-diffusion equations etc.
