9th Workshop on Numerical Methods for Free Boundary Problems

College Park, Maryland, January 9-12, 2002

INTERPHASE2001 is intended to stimulate the interplay of mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, numerical computation and real world problems in the field of free boundary problems, such as phase transformations, superconductivity, fluid interfaces, computer vision and image processing.

The apparent misspelling of INTERPHASE is supposed to emphasize the chief purpose of this meeting: facilitate the communication and exchange of ideas and methods between communities ('phases') of scientists and engineers that otherwise may not interact and thus profit from each other.

This workshop continues the series of meetings on numerical and computational aspects of free boundary problems started with the ESF/FBP scientific program. Previous workshops took place at Jyväskylä (1993), Pont-à-Mousson (1994), Pavia and Freiburg (1995), Lamoura (1996), Ittingen (1997), Braga (1998), Freiburg (1999) and Berlin (2000). This is the first time the workshop steps out of Europe and is held in the United States with the support of the NSF.
