Summer School (September, 18 — 20, 2023)

Optimal Transport: Theory, Algorithms, Applications

funded by

DFG SPP 1962 "Non-smooth and Complementarity-based Distributed Parameter Systems: Simulation and Hierarchical Optimization”

Summary

The theory of optimal transport provides a rich mathematical background with connection to various fields in applied mathematics, among them convex analysis, duality theory, and partial differential equations. Moreover, the algorithmic treatment of optimal transport problems has made significant progress in the recent past. This is of major importance, since optimal transport problems arise in various applications such as image processing and urban planning. The summer school aims to give a broad introduction into the field of optimal transport, from theory over numerics to applications. It is primarily intended for the doctoral and postdoctoral students of the DFG SPP1962, however other interested parties may also apply to register.
