Second Call for papers

Second Workshop on

Fractional Calculus, Probability and Non-Local Operators: Applications and Recent Developments

BCAM, Bilbao, Basque Country - Spain

10-14 November 2014

Research on non-local operators and related stochastic processes has witnessed a rapid expansion over the past years. These problems pose new challenges to both pure and applied mathematicians, at the interface of at least three wide fields: functional analysis, stochastic processes and partial differential equations, while providing a new paradigm in scientific modelling. Applications range from relativistic models of quantum physics and quantum field theory, to sub-diffusion experimentally observed in molecular physics, from anomalous transport in cells to leptokurtic price distributions in financial markets, or to long-range dynamics ranging from the nano-scale to the geophysical scale. This interaction between mathematics and applications is giving rise to new concepts and methods, and it will produce new challenging mathematical problems for many years to come.
