➀ The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved a new special research area at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, led by Prof. Dr. Birgit Jacob, to study the fundamentals of a new approach in mathematical modeling. ➁ The research focuses on 'Port-Hamiltonian Systems', a new paradigm for powerful mathematical modeling of dynamic systems. ➂ The project aims to develop a solid mathematical theory for the fundamental processes of Port-Hamiltonian systems, enabling a better understanding and prediction of complex systems.
