'Combinatorics and analysis in spatial probability', Eindhoven, the Netherlands
12 December 2010 - 12 December 2010
Netherlands
A conference on 'combinatorics and analysis in spatial probability' will be held from 12 to 16 December 2010 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
The field of random spatial processes has become one of the most active subfields of modern probability. This has resulted in deep, fundamental mathematical research, motivated by problems in physics (phase transitions), biology(epidemics) and computer science (randomised algorithms, `cooperative' phenomena in large communication networks). Much of the rapid and successful development in the field of random spatial processes is due to a combination of probabilistic, combinatorial and analytic techniques.
It is often the case that the three types of arguments (combinatorial, probabilistic or analytic) cannot be distinguished from one another. Therefore, some of results, although in a formal sense fully understood, remain somewhat mysterious.
The event will aim to facilitate the sharing ideas, which has so far led to considerable progress on some of the core questions in the field. The interaction of junior and senior researchers is especially valuable since the area of random spatial processes is developing fast.For further information, please click: here(opens in new window)
