Applied Mathematical Problems in Geophysics: Cetraro, Italy 2019

The contributions reflect five major topics identified by the SIES (Strategic Initiatives for the Environment and Security) as having significant societal impact: optimal control in waste management, in particular the degradation of organic waste by an aerobic biomass, by means of a mathematical model
recent developments in the mathematical analysis of subwave resonators
conservation laws in continuum mechanics, including an elaboration on the notion of weak solutions and issues related to entropy criteria
the applications of variational methods to 1-dimensional boundary value problems, in particular to light ray-tracing in ionospheric physics
and the mathematical modelling of potential electromagnetic co-seismic events associated to large earthquakes.
This material will provide a sound foundation for those who intend to approach similar problems from a multidisciplinary perspective.
