Abstract
The meeting focused on the last advances in the applications of
variational methods to evolution problems governed by partial differential
equations. The talks covered a broad range of topics, including large deviation
and variational principles, rate-independent evolutions and gradient
flows, heat flows in metric-measure spaces, propagation of fracture, applications
of optimal transport and entropy-entropy dissipation methods, phasetransitions,
viscous approximation, and singular-perturbation problems
