Matching Problem and Optimal Transportation Matching Problem and Optimal Transportation
A new research brief was just published by Lukas Koch, who is a scientist in the Otto group and works on regularity questions in the Calculus of Variations and nonlinear PDEs. The topic is optimal transport, or the problem of finding the most efficient way to distribute materials, and its connection to harmonic approximation.

Universality of the Magnetization Ripple Universality of the Magnetization Ripple
Tobias Ried and Pavlos Tsatsoulis, who work in the Otto group on stochastic quantisation and singular SPDEs among other things have just published a new research brief on the magnetization ripple. They describe the basics of the micromagnetic model and explain the mathematics of the 'universality' in the structural pattern.
