Nonlinear Approximation, PDEs and High-Dimensional Problems

Workshop in honor of Wolfgang Dahmen

With his broad range of mathematical interests, Wolfgang Dahmen has made fundamental contributions on various types of nonlinear and adaptive approximations and innovative numerical methods for partial differential equations. The aim of this workshop is to gather the community of colleagues and collaborators who together with him have shaped these fields of research in recent years. 

The workshop will take place October 21 to 23, 2024, at RWTH Aachen (SuperC building).
