Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course is intended to provide an invitation to some actual research directions in the calculus of variations, especially in relation with materials science. Variational models and methods for the description of phase change, homogenization, and high-contrast materials will be presented. Variational approximation by Gamma-convergence will be the overarching technical setting.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The students will be asked to attend and interact during the lectures. Moreover, they will be asked to read a paper, describe its motivation, new mathematical ideas and concepts, open problems and possible follow-ups

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The students will prove to have knowledge of the basic content of the course and to be able to report on the assigned material.

Prüfungsstoff

The material for the oral discussion will be provided to the students at the beginning of the course.

Literatur

The course will be based on scientific papers, which will be provided at the beginning of the course.
