Minisymposium Title: Mathematical Challenges in Phase Diagram Calculation

Minisymposium Description: Phase diagrams play an important role in multicomponent materials design, where inaccurate phase information may lead to costly and even disastrous consequences. Calculation of phase boundaries is a global optimization problem that poses multiple analytical and numerical challenges. While some solutions have already been discovered through the extensive use of several existing computational software packages, there is a number of outstanding issues requiring close collaboration between mathematical and materials community. This minisymposium will bring together leading researchers working in this area with an aim of discussing recent advances in the field and sharing views on most pressing remaining challenges and promising new research directions.
