The New Frontier of Herglotz-Nevanlinna Functions: Theory, Applications, and Open Problems (26w5645)

The Banff International Research Station will host the "The New Frontier of Herglotz-Nevanlinna Functions: Theory, Applications, and Open Problems" workshop in Banff from October 4 to October 9, 2026.

This workshop aims at bringing together an interdisciplinary scientific community to share some of the state-of-the-art results in the theory of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions, and to solve common open problems lying at the frontier of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. Further development of this theory would lead to significant progress not only in the area of pure mathematics, but also in its applications to antennas, metamaterials, and composite materials.

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Alberta's Technology and Innovation.
