4th Applied Mathematics Symposium Münster

Workshop: Analytical and numerical aspects of wave propagation in complex structures

March 15th - March 16th, 2018

Münster, Germany


Synopsis

Wave propagation in complex structures has received growing interest over the last years. New analytical and numerical tools and methods are needed to better understand, analyze and simulate arising physical phenomena such as band gaps, artificial magnetism and negative refraction. Topics include homogenization, Bloch-wave analysis and radiation conditions as well as numerical multiscale methods and discretization methods for wave propagation problems in frequency and time domain.

This workshop wants to bring together researchers from analysis and numerics to discuss recent developments in this field and exchange their ideas.

The program includes scheduled talks by invited experts and young scientists and allows ample time for discussion.

This is a closure workshop of the DFG-project "Wave propagation in periodic structures and negative refraction mechanisms".

Travel information

The University of Münster is located in Münster, Germany. (An alternative spelling of Münster is Muenster - note that this is different from Munster, Germany!)

  • By plane:
    The airport Münster-Osnabrück (FMO) is located 30 km from Münster. A bus service to Münster central station is available (45 min). The airport Düsseldorf (DUS) is further away, but offers far more international connections. The train ride to Münster central station is 90 minutes. Details about connecting busses and trains are available via bahn.de.
  • Public transport:
    Münster is well connected by train. For details see bahn.de. Starting at central station, several bus lines lead to the department. Best choices are probably bus routes 5, 11, 12, 22 direction Gievenbeck or Nienberge. Get off at bus stop Coesfelder Kreuz after about 15 minutes.
    To get to the department, go right and cross the street with traffic lights. There is a flat building right after the corner which is connected to a 9-story-building, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Behind these buildings, there are two modern buildings with an aluminium-colored corrugated sheet facade. The workshop takes place in the modern building on the left.
  • By car:
    Use your favourite routing service. There are parking lots next to the buildings at

    Orleansring 10-12, 48149 Münster, Germany

    The buildings are new, and so is their address. Google Maps has them correctly listed.
