Event details
This workshop arises from a research programme that studies mathematical foundations of power grid structure and in particular addresses the challenge of large-scale catastrophic failures in such grids
The symbiosis between mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering has served for a very long time as a very important source of motivation for research in mathematics and has provided the impetus for many important discoveries. Contributions of mathematics to practical problems are manifold and form the basis of modern technology. These interactions are far from being exhausted, and indeed we are currently witnessing some very exciting new developments in the area of direct applications of Pure Mathematics to difficult problems arising from applications.
Organised by
Professor Jacek Brodzki
, Max Fennelly and
Dr Ruben Sanchez-Garcia
, we will present some key mathematical tools and techniques that have found applications in this context, as well as a variety of specific problems that can benefit from their application. The workshop is supported by a grant from the EPSRC and is part of the
Southampton Initiative in Mathematical Modelling (SIMM
).
