Interdisciplinary Workshop
"FROM WAVES TO DIFFUSION AND BEYOND"

20 December 2002
Department of Physics, University of Bologna,
Via Irnerio 46, I-40126 BOLOGNA, Italy

Official language: ITALIAN

-------------------------------------------------------------------


An INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKSHOP on the subject "FROM WAVES TO DIFFUSION AND BEYOND" will be held on Friday, December 20, 2002 at the Department of Physics, University of Bologna, Via Irnerio 46, I-40126 BOLOGNA, Italy.

On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Prof. Francesco Mainardi (Teacher and Researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of
Bologna) his former students and Italian collaborators have agreed to meet and discuss together their scientific and professional interests.
The title of the workshop somehow reflects the various topics treated by Mainardi and his co-workers, from problems of wave propagation and diffusion to special functions, fractional calculus and random walk models applied to finance.
