Universita' di Roma "La Sapienza"

September 20-24,2004

The aim of the School is provide an overview on various techniques in
modern analysis which are strictly related to important problems in
applied mathematics, like images processing, fracture mechanics,
composite materials and phase transitions.

The lectures are intended for PhD students and young researchers in
analysis. The common link among the courses will be a 'basic' and
rigorous introduction to the math subjects and a discussion of the
related applications.

The school is sponsored by the GNAMPA-INdAM Project "Homogenization
techniques and asymptotic methods for multiple-scale problems"
(coordinator: V. Chiado' Piat) and by COFIN 2002 through the National
Project "Calcolo delle Variazioni" (Rome Local Unit coordinated by A.
Braides and Milano Politecnico Local Unit coordinated by
F. Tomarelli).

Limited funds are available for young researchers to cover
accomodation in double rooms, for more information, please see at
