Abstract
The mathematical and computational toolbox for modern experimental and engineering problems has become more diverse than ever before, with a flurry of new challenges in inverse problems and successful practical solutions that present further theoretical questions. In the spirit of the 2012 “Challenges in Geometry, Analysis, and Computation: High-Dimensional Synthesis” workshop at Yale, the “Modern Applied and Computational Analysis” workshop will be a celebration of different perspectives on inverse problems, models, inference, and harmonic analysis and a debate about the challenges and opportunities in the next decade of applied analysis. The topics include inverse problems, randomized linear algebra, machine learning in applied analysis, and tensor networks.
The organizers would like to thank James Bremer, Ronald Coifman, Jingfang Huang, Peter Jones, Mauro Maggioni, Yair Minsky, Vladimir Rokhlin, Wilhelm Schlag, John Schotland, Amit Singer, Stefan Steinerberger, and Mark Tygert for their help.
