Course on Tug-of-War Games with Random Noise

Marta Lewicka is a Polish mathematician at the University of Pittsburgh, specializing in Mathematical Analysis. Marta obtained her PhD in 2000 from Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati with a thesis on Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws. She has subsequently worked on Calculus of Variations, Partial Differential Equations, Continuum Mechanics, and Tug-of-War Games in relation to Nonlinear Potential Theory.
