Minisymposium Title: Upscaling Models of Crystalline Structures: Analysis and Simulation

Minisymposium Description: In the recent years, there has been an extensive development of new upscaling schemes for the passage from atomistic to continuum models of crystalline structures. These upscaling schemes incorporate various models such as KMC, discrete Burton-Cabrera- Frank, DFT and continuum PDEs, in statical and dynamical settings. All of these models have their strengths and limitations, and reconciling them as well as highlighting their differences is very important both from a theoretical point of view, and for our understanding of the structure and evolution of crystalline materials in general.
