Autumn School
Verona, 26-30 November 2018
modelling, control, and numerical methods
Aims
Several phenomena in daily life can be described by a system of interacting agents, from natural systems such as cells, swarming dynamics, chemical compounds, organisms or crystals; but also in human artifacts, for example in market economies, crowd dynamics, vehicular traffics, opinion formations, wealth distributions, networks, cybernetics or artificial intelligences.
​
The aim of the school "From interacting particle systems to kinetic equations" is to give a general overview on the mathematical modelling of multi-agent systems ranging from their microscopic description up to mesoscopic, and macroscopic approximation.
In particular we will focus on rigorous derivation of mean-field and hydrodynamical models.
​
A substantial part of the school will be dedicated to the development of efficient numerical methods for non-linear PDEs models with some tutorial sessions, covering also novel research topics in this field such as optimal control theory, and uncertainty quantification.

The school is organized in 3 mini-courses, held by senior speakers, and 3 focused seminars, held by young researchers.
There will be also the opportunity for Ph.D. students, and participants to give a short communication about their research topics.
