About IMATI
IMATI is an institute of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and has three sections (Pavia, Genova and Milano). Located in the Campus of the Pavia University, the Pavia section has a long standing tradition in the study of PDEs, which are addressed from different points of view: theoretical (existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solutions), numerical (approximation schemes, stability and adaptivity) and computational (algorithms and computing methodologies). In particular, the work on polytopal methods for the numerical solution of PDE's is carried out at IMATI in the framework of the ERC Project CHANGE (Grant agreement No 694515) and of the MIUR-PRIN Project Virtual Element Methods: Analysis and Applications (Grant n. 201744KLJL).
