Abstract

The Calculus of Variations is at the same time a classical subject, with long-standing open questions which have generated exciting discoveries in recent decades, and a modern subject in which new types of questions arise, driven by mathematical developments and emergent applications. It is also a subject with a very wide scope, touching on interrelated areas that include geometric variational problems, optimal transportation, geometric inequalities and domain optimization problems, elliptic regularity, geometric measure theory, harmonic analysis, physics, free boundary problems, etc. The workshop balances the traditional interests of past conferences with new emerging perspectives.
