Workshop on New Connections Between Differential and Random Turn Games, PDE's and Image Processing.
Topic
PIMS/Accelerate Canada Summer School in PDE: New connections between differential and random term games and elliptic and parabolic differential equations
More info: http://www.math.ubc.ca/~gustaf/SummerSchool09/
In the last few years, new connections between nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations and differential or random term games have been discovered. Unexpected game theoretic interpretations of second order PDEs have been found, most notably for the infinity Laplace equation and for the equation for the motion of levels sets by mean curvature. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from the PDE and probability communities to communicate the latest results, and to discuss new interpretations, applications, and numerical methods Particular areas of focus will be:
* Infinity Laplacian and Related Problems, including problems on graphs
* Optimal Control Interpretations of Curvature-driven Flows
* Numerical and Theoretical Methods for Viscosity Solutions of Nonlinear PDE
* Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Applications
* Game and Control interpretations of Image processing algorithms.
