Mathematical Analysis, Modelling, and Applications

The activity in mathematical analysis is mainly focussed on ordinary and partial differential equations, on dynamical systems, on the calculus of variations, and on control theory. Connections of these topics with differential geometry are also developed.The activity in mathematical modelling is oriented to subjects for which the main technical tools come from mathematical analysis. The present themes are multiscale analysismechanics of materialsmicromagneticsmodelling of biological systems, and problems related to control theory.The applications of mathematics developed in this course are related to the numerical analysis of partial differential equations and of control problems. This activity is organized in collaboration with MathLab for the study of problems coming from the real world, from industrial applications, and from complex systems.

This an advanced monographic course on the numerical analysis of finite element techniques. Each year, the state-of-the-art of a research level topic is selected and presented with strong interaction with the students. Past topics have included: Virtual Element Methods (VEM), Nonconforming FEM, Discontinuous Galerkin Methods.

Limit analysis of variational problems

The aim of this course is an introduction to the analysis of variational problems depending on a parameter. Such problems appear in different ways, and the parameter may be constitutive, a geometric inhomogeneity scale, or a coefficient of a perturbative term. It may have different effects favoring oscillations, concentration, topological singularities, dimension-reduction, etc., some times a combination of these.

Topics in continuum mechanics

This is a 60-hours introductory course on continuum mechanics and its applications. The aim is to provide first year students with a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of the subject.
