MS1: "Challenges in Theoretical Mathematics Inspired by Applications" organized by Agnieszka Kalamajska (University of Warsaw, Poland) and Anna Ochal (Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland)
Abstract: The purpose of this minisymposium is to discuss such issues of applied mathematics which lead to open problems in theoretical mathematics. We expect contributions concerning both the study of partial differential equations appearing in mathematical models, but also the recent developments in the field of functional analysis, probabilistic, calculus of variations and classical analysis. Our discussion is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum for exchange of new ideas and results.

MS2: "Analysis, Control, and Applications of Moreau's Sweeping Process" organized by Giovanni Colombo (Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita degli Studi di Padova, Italy)
MS2: "Analysis, Control, and Applications of Moreau's Sweeping Process" organized by Giovanni Colombo (Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita degli Studi di Padova, Italy)
Abstract: Moreau's sweeping process is a differential inclusion of dissipative type that occurs in the modeling of several phenomena, including contact mechanics, nonsmooth electric circuits, and hysteresis, the simplest example being the "play operator", that occurs in some models of hysteresis. This differential inclusion describes the movement of a particle that is constrained in a moving (convex or mildly nonconvex) set C(t) and is such that its velocity is normal to the boundary of C(t). Since the seventies, several results on existence of solutions - under increasing levels of generality - were obtained. Recently, some studies on the optimal control of the sweeping process were also performed. This minisymposium aims at discussing the state of the art on such topics.

MS4: "Non-Classical Problems in Structural Dynamics of Continuous Media" organized by Czeslaw Bajer (Institute of Fundamental Technlogical Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland)
Abstract: Modern structures should meet requirements that exceed commonly applied strength criteria. Dynamic phenomena carry strong restrictions but also new possibilities that allows us exceed current limitations. We focus our research on new materials that exhibit special rheological properties, new structures based on untypical inner (microscopic) or outer (macroscopic) geometry or structures that are controlled by interactions with their elements or with the base. In such extraordinary states structures can carry higher loads, as well as resist to instantaneous load peaks and first of all they can increase the safety and decrease harmful or inconvenient impact on environment. We consider differential equations that describe the influence of inertia in moving load problems, the control of sensitive structures under instantaneous impacts, the efficiency of non-classical materials that exhibit controllable properties and programmable metamaterials that allows modification of constitutive relationships during the deformation process.

MS5: "Numerical Analysis and Computational Methods for Mechanics" organized by Mikaël Barboteu (Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, Perpignan, France) and Krzysztof Bartosz (Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland)
Abstract: Although considerable progress has been made in recent decades on Mechanics, many new and original problems have emerged on Mechanics, encompassing mathematical, physical and engineering aspects. For these reasons, numerics of these problems have to be considered. Therefore, the aim of this minisymposium is to give an overview of recent researches in numerics for Mechanics. It will cover the following topics: numerical modelling of nonsmooth and nonlinear laws, approximation of variational and hemivariational inequalities, numerical analysis of discrete schemes and numerical methods with emphasis on accurate and reliable computational tools.

Abstract: The minisymposium is devoted to various versions of the modern higher-order finite element method, including hp-adaptive FEM, delivering exponential convergence of the numerical error with respect to the number of degrees of freedom, isogeometric FEM, focusing on extending the use of computational geometry methodologies, such as B-splines, Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS), T-splines, etc., to the solution of PDEs with smooth approximations, modern Discontinuous Petrov Galerkin methods (DPG), resolving the stability issues of the numerical simulations. These approaches have provided a new direction of research in the higher-order finite element method, and shed light on its accuracy, efficiency, and robustness in general. We invite papers oriented towards applications and theoretical aspects of the higher order FEM.

The quality of numerical computations or the results of simulations may be impacted with method and round-off errors. In addition, numerical quality impacts the execution time, reproducibility and general performances, especially when dealing with sensitive functions such as the ones that we can find in applied mathematics and mechanics, when considering problems in physics, engineering sciences, biology, economy, etc. The design, verification and optimization of numerical software becomes a strong challenge to guarantee the soundness and the efficiency of computations. To cope with numerical issues, to know how to measure and minimize errors or to imagine other ways to better refine meshes, the formal verification of numerical simulations is mandatory. The TNC workshop intends to be a step toward this design, verification and optimization and, more generally, toward the definition of trusted numerical computations.
