Subject: Information-Based Complexity, Austria, Oct 2018


The field of information-based complexity deals with the analysis of
the information complexity for multivariate problems. A crucial
question is, for instance, under which circumstances one can avoid a
curse of dimensionality. The Autumn School on the "Introduction to
Information-Based Complexity" gives an introduction to basic concepts
in information-based complexity, and illustrate some of the theory by
examples such as high-dimensional numerical integration or function
approximation.

The school can be viewed as introduction to the workshop "Multivariate
Algorithms and Information-Based Complexity", which takes place at the
Johann Radon Institute (RICAM), Linz, Austria, on November 5-9, 2018.

Lectures will be given by Prof. Dr. Aicke Hinrichs (JKU, Linz) and PD
Dr. Peter Kritzer (RICAM, Linz).

The Autumn School is part of the training activities in the Innovative
Training Network ROMSOC ("Reduced Order Modelling, Simulation and
Optimization of coupled System"e) funded by the European Union's
Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The registration for
the school is free and the school is open for all interested PhD and
Master students.

Registration by email to elisabeth.hager@indmath.uni-linz.ac.at
Registration Deadline (extended): October 20, 2018

Dates of Autumn School: 29 October - 2 November 2018, at the RICAM
in Linz (Austria).
