Abstract
ESGI (European Study Group with Industry) is Europe's leading
workshop for interaction between mathematicians and industry.
These workshops have taken place in Great Britain for a number of
years, going back to 1968 when Prof. Alan Tayler initiated the
so-called Oxford Study Group with Industry. The coordiantion of
the study groups is now done by the European Consortium for
Mathematics in Industry (ECMI).This is the final report for the
first study group in Denmark, (and the first ESGI outside Great
Britain). Six Danish companies brought problems to the Study
Group, requiring a wide range of mathematical expertise.Danfoss
wanted a an analysis and optimization of a scroll
compressor.DANISCO wanted a model for the heat and moisture
transport in sugar silos.Danish Maritime Institute wanted to
optimize a dynamical position system in order to keep a wessel
stationary on the surface of the ocean.Grundfos wanted a model
describing the chlorination of swimming pools.LEGO wanted an
algorithm for building an arbitrary model with LEGO bricks in
stable manner.SCANtechnology wanted an algorithm to identify
features in an image from a 3D laser scanning.
