Classical PDEs involve partial derivatives of a function of multiple variables describing physical quantities. These are crucial for understanding continuous processes across disciplines, with solutions often forming the basis for applied research and technological developments. Fractional PDEs are an extension of classical PDEs, which generalize derivatives to non-integer orders. These equations have become a valuable tool for modelling complex, real-world systems exhibiting features not adequately captured by traditional PDEs.
Spectral methods are known for their exceptional accuracy and efficiency in solving a wide range of differential equations with flexibility in handling various types of boundary conditions. These methods exhibit exponential convergence rates and are suitable for numerical simulations requiring precise solutions. These methods offer flexibility in choosing basis functions tailored to specific problem characteristics. Their ability to resolve high-frequency components and global nature makes them indispensable tools in scientific computing and engineering simulations, where precision and computational efficiency are paramount.
The class of methods and problems which cover the theme of the symposium are listed:

Transport and accumulation of heat, moisture, chemical substances, and momentum are phenomena which affect buildings and their inbuilt materials over their whole lifetime period.
Their satisfactory description requires primarily a choice of proper physical and mathematical models because the transport mechanisms are coupled.  The computational implementation of mathematical models is another essential factor involving an application of appropriate methods of numerical solution. The computer simulation tools cannot be utilized properly without knowledge of a variety of transport and storage material parameters, microstructural and structural parameters, which have to be determined experimentally in a wide range of field quantities, such as temperature, moisture content, and concentration of a particular chemical compound. The applied models are also supposed to be verified using critical experiments, in order to assess their overall quality.
Therefore, in practical applications the computational modeling and experimental assessment of transport processes cannot be separated without a risk of significant departure from the physical reality.
The symposium brings together physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers working in the field of transport processes in building materials and materials engineering. The main topics include but are not limited to:
•  Theoretical models of transport phenomena
•  Computer simulation tools
•  Material parameters and their assessment
•  Model verification techniques
•  Environmental effects on building structures
•  Risk analysis
•  Service life assessment studies
•  High-temperature applications
•  Applications in a renovation of historical buildings and monuments

Description: We usually see functions with high irregularity/non-smoothness in natureand finance. Approximating and studying such nonsmooth functions or data-fitting forrandom natural phenomena may be better via fractal geometry tools, such as fractalsets, fractal functions, and fractal dimensions, an active research area in mathematics.This session will focus on exploring differential equations on irregular domains with theirsolution and the construction of solutions by approximation. New tools from fractalgeometry play an essential role in that they can help us to find solutions to a differentialequation on the fractal domain and approximate a nonsmooth function while preservingcertain shape, regularity, and dimension properties. The main target of this session is tobring together scientists, including young researchers, to contribute papers in the areasof use of dimension theory, fractal functions, and measures in PDEs and NumericalApproximation.

The highlighted topics: Fractal sets and measures, Fractal interpolation, Boxdimension, Hausdorff dimension, Dimension-preserving approximation, Numericalapproximation of continuous functions using fractals, Data-driven fractal approximation,Holder functions, Nowhere-differentiable functions, Analytical and Smoothness analysis,Convergence analysis, Error analysis, Parabolic PDEs, Difference/Element/VolumeMethods on Fractal domains, Laplacians on fractal domains, Spectral Theory on Fractals.

    The solution of the control problem for nonlinear dynamical systems becomes a nontrivial task when thesesystems do not fulfil directly linearizability conditions or when the related state-space models are charac-terized by underactuation. Besides, the solution of the control problem for such systems is often inhibitedby model uncertainty and time-delays affecting the state variablesor the control inputs. Additionally,for state-space models of high-dimensionality computational complexity issues may hinder the implemen-tation of specific nonlinear control approaches. Moreover, inability to measure the entire state vector ofthese systems and model invalidation make a necessity to treat state estimation and unknown dynamicsidentification issues jointly with the design of stabilizing feedback controllers. Finally, in case that the spa-tiotemporal dynamics of the controlled systems has to be taken into account, elaborated PDE controllerdesign and state estimation methods have to be considered. To address the above, this Special Sessionwill examine recent advances in (i) control with methods of exact (global) linearization, (ii) control withmethods of approximate (local) linearization (iii) control with Lyapunov stability approaches (adaptivecontrol) (iv) nonlinear control based on stochastic estimation methods (joint nonlinear control and filteringmethods) (v) control of distributed parameter systems (PDE control).Topics of importance for the Special Session on ”Control and estimation for systems with complex nonlineardynamics” are, but are not limited to: (i) control and estimation withglobal linearization techniques (e.g.based on differential flatness theory or Lie algebra), (ii) control and estimation with approximate lineariza-tion techniques (e.g. based on local linear models which are obtained through Taylor series expansion), (iii)control and estimation based on Lyapunov stability theory (e.g. energy-based control, adaptive control andadaptive identification techniques), (iv) control based on other optimization concepts (e.g. sliding-modecontrol and nonlinear model predictive control) (v) nonlinear control addressed to systems under specificstate-space forms (e.g. backstepping control and control implemented in cascading loops). The SpecialSession bares particular interest in applications of advanced nonlinear control and estimation techniquesto robotic and mechatronics systems, electric power and renewable energy systems, electromotion, cyber-physical systems and finally to biosystems and models describing complex dynamics in economics andfinance.Prospective authors are requested to submit their articles, untilthe30th of June 2025 to the Organizers of this session.

    Optimal designs represent the main statistical tool for maximizing experimental information. Combined with sequential adaptation, they permit experiments to be modified and/or stopped on the basis of the accrued data, so as to draw correct inferential conclusions as quickly as possible. The methodology underlying such designs is attractive for the ethical conduct of later stage clinical trials for treatment comparisons in the presence of several patient characteristics, such as those measuring genetic, biological and clinical characteristics. We will present a series of papers covering theoretical innovations in frequentist and Bayesian optimal adaptive experimental methods and apply them to the question of how to conduct clinical trials in a more ethical and efficient way, thereby bringing the best treatments to patients more quickly.
    The principal topics that we will present are the following:
    *** Adaptive experimental designs that vary the allocation probabilities to the treatment arms for ethical reasons, according to earlier responses, covariates, previous assignments, and/or the profile of the current patient, with the goal of skewing the allocations towards the superior treatment, or to identify subpopulations which will benefit from a treatment.
    *** Covariate-Adaptive designs, which modify the allocations to force the balance between the treatment groups with respect to a set of covariates. Since most existing procedures can only handle a few factors, we will introduce novel designs that are able to handle a vast number of covariates that are available in large datasets.
    *** New selection methods to draw optimal subsamples from the original large dataset, with the aim of identifying a subset of patient characteristics which influence their health outcomes (a task which may be computationally prohibitive with big-data)
    *** Identification of the doses of new drugs which maximize the estimation precision of the parameters of interest. We will propose new optimality criteria based on modifications of the likelihood approach to avoid possible degeneracy of standard inference. In addition, since optimal doses for estimation do not generally allow model validation, we also face the problem of determining optimal doses to identify the right curve among a class of widely used dose-response models, such as fractional polynomials.
    *** Investigation of the relationship between classical optimality criteria and the power of tests, from both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives.
    *** Optimal sequential experimentation which accounts for the cost-effectiveness of both the treatments and research process, taking frequentist and Bayesian perspectives.
    The event is organized as part of the PRIN2022PNRR project (https://sites.google.com/view/prin-project/home)

    Introduction
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems occur in many fields of engineering applications, such as pipelines, high-speed trains, renewable energy harvesters, and biological and physiological systems (e.g., locomotion of slender fish, blood vessels, and vocal cords). It involves the interplay of fluid flow and deformable/moving solid structures with the aim of understanding the physical phenomena involved, so as to assist in trouble-free design and problem resolution. Special attention and accurate simulation tools are required to improve performance, minimize production costs, and avoid costly failures.
