Mass Transportation Problems and Applications
October 13 - 19, 2002

Deadline for Application:
September 1, 2002

Organizers:
Luigi Ambrosio (Pisa)
Cedric Villani (Lyon)

Subjects:
Recent years have seen the emergence of new directions in the study of
optimal mass transportation, with connections to fluid mechanics, linear
and nonlinear diffusion processes, calculus of variations, functional
inequalities with a geometrical content, particle systems. This school
will deal both with the study of the mass-transportation problem and with
its applications to these various fields.

Prerequisites:
No advanced notions are required, only a good familiarity with elementary
measure theory, basic functional analysis and basic theory of PDE's.
