The Center for Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (CAMTP)
was founded in June 1990 as a new research institute under the direction of Professor
Dr. Marko Robnik and became an independent academic institution (member) of the
University of Maribor in July 1991. The financial support is provided entirely by
the Slovenian Research Agency, a department of Ministry of Education, Science and
Sports of the Republic of Slovenia. Its research activities and collaborations are
strongly internationally oriented, and the institute now has already a number of
external collaborators and research visitors from among the leading scientists in
Slovenia and in foreign countries, especially in Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, Belarus,
Russia, China and USA.
The theoretical research programme covers four dominant fields:
(1) Nonlinear dynamics of classical and quantum nonintegrable and chaotic systems,
(2) Mathematical and statistical physics and theory of dynamical systems.,
(3) Computer algebra,
(4) Theory of ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems
Some collaboration in the theoretical astrophysics is also involved in joint projects
with the researchers of the University of Bonn. CAMTP
collaborates also with the University of Ljubljana. The Center has bilateral agreements
(Memorandum of understanding) with Waseda University, Tokyo, Munich University of
Technology, Institute Rudjer Boškovic, Zagreb, Osaka Prefecture University,
several institutions in Minsk, Belarus, and in Moldova. The Center is one of the
supporting and founding institutions of the international interdisciplinary journal
Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems (NPCS), founded in 1998, which is published
in Minsk, whilst its online version is maintained at CAMTP.
The purpose of the Center is to carry out the theoretical research, to maintain
the international academic relations and collaborations in these fields, and to
educate young research students from Slovenia and abroad. The Center is also the
scientific organizer of the Summer Schools/Conferences "Let's Face Chaos through
Nonlinear Dynamics" held in 1993 and in 1994 at the University of Ljubljana,
and in 1996, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014+ at the University of Maribor: The
9th one will be held on 22 June - 6 July 2014, according to the tradition now. Apart
from that CAMTP organizes 6 other series of scientific meetings: Christmas Symposia
of Physicists, Japan-Slovenia Seminars, European Advanced Studies Conferences, SOCRATES
Workshops, Symbolic Computation and Applications and the Out of the Box Conferences.
