13 April 2003 to 18 April 2003
Interfaces and free boundary problems are ubiquitous in the mathematical modelling of physical phenomena arising, for example, as material interfaces in fluids and solids and as phase boundaries in alloys. Newer applications are in, for example, geometrically based models for image processing. Because of their inherent nonlinearity and the difficulties of dealing with unknown and moving curved surfaces on fixed grids they are well known to be computationally challenging. Specific application areas frequently need their own mathematical modelling and analysis, but also can be tackled computationally by general approaches such as front tracking, the immersed interface method, phase field equations and the level set method. In order to gain full understanding of the models, one needs to rely on mathematical analysis and scientific computation. It is increasingly clear that efficient and successful numerical discretisation requires consideration of the modelling as well as of the numerical analysis. Complicated behaviour of interfaces is common as a consequence of instability, nonlinear degeneracy, the interaction of scales and physics in the bulk with physics on the surface. The analysis of discretisation of these problems as well as the implementation of schemes is demanding.
There have been spectacular advances recently in the application of level set methods, parametric formulations and phase field equations. The mathematical analysis of these methods is maturing but there are many open problems with respect to error bounds and convergence for geometrical motion, coupled to field equations. Topological change due to pinching off and merging of interfaces remain one of the most computationally challenging problems in partial differential equations. The question of which computational approach is best remains controversial.
The purpose of this workshop is to highlight the important recent advances associated with the mathematical analysis of computational methods and the development of computational tools. The latest developments in mathematical models and the computational challenges they present will also be addressed.
The meeting will have three inter-related themes:

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
