9TH WORKSHOP ON HIGH-DIMENSIONAL APPROXIMATION (HDA2023)

The High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA) Workshop is a series of biennial international meetings covering current research on high-dimensional problems. This ninth workshop (HDA2023) will be held at ANU in Canberra.

HDA2023 will cover a range of topics central to modern high-dimensional approximation and their applications. Topics include, but are not limited to,

  • Nonlinear approximation
  • Numerical integration
  • Tensor decomposition
  • Sparsity-exploiting approximation
  • Sparse grid methods
  • Quasi-Monte Carlo methods
  • Polynomial chaos expansions
  • Discrepancy and dispersion theory
  • Dimensionality reduction
  • Uncertainty quantification
  • Reduced modelling
  • Inverse problems
