CTW: New Developments in Dynamical Systems Arising from the Biosciences (March 22-26, 2011)
Organizers: Tasso Kaper, Bernd Krauskopf, Hinke Osinga, and Martin Wechselberger
The biosciences provide rich grounds for mathematical problems, and many questions require the development of new mathematical theory and algorithms. With this workshop we give particular attention to new ideas and developments in dynamical systems. We have chosen four themes to showcase how the biosciences inspired recent progress: systems with delays, systems with multiple scales, dynamics of networks, and stochastic bifurcation theory. The meeting will highlight and discuss new directions of fundamental research in each of the themes, how they are connected, and how they contribute to the understanding of specific questions in bioscience applications.
