As a general theory of how switches, impacts, and other discontinuities affect dynamical systems, Nonsmooth Dynamics has always been strongly informed by applications. By bringing theoretical and practical insights together at a time of rapidly growing interest, we will try to solve some major outstanding problems in an intensive but open forum. The Foundations theme will discuss fundamental theory, from its basic assumptions, to breakthroughs in bifurcation theory and novel behaviour at singularities. Particular attention will be paid to how these impact existing and future numerical methods, focussing on the open challenges in developing a theory of nonsmooth dynamics that is fully relevant to real world systems. The New Directions theme we will bring together many applications and models, solving specific problems and at the same time seeking common methods and ideas. We will ask how nonsmooth dynamics can best contribute to forming new and better models of real world dynamics. There will be no restriction on the applications of interest, but they will certainly include climate, economics, life sciences, networks, chemical reactions, mechanics of rigid bodies, and control electronics.

Starting on July 1st, 2015 the CRC is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It is jointly run by the Departments of Mathematics of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), University of Stuttgart, and University of Tubingen in collaboration with KIT research groups in optics and photonics, biomedical engineering, and applied geophysics. Research topics: The goal of this CRC is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.
