Scope

The workshop will focus on nonlinear partial differential equations and variational problems arising in quantum and condensed matter theory. Particular emphasis will be placed on analytical and numerical methods for understanding the formation and evolution of topological patterns, singular structures, and defects. The workshop aims to bring together researchers working in mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, and physical applications to discuss recent advances, open problems, and emerging connections between these areas.

Scope

Programme

The scientific program will consist of sessions with invited lectures, contributed talks, and posters.
