Description: In a number of problems, both in theory and applications, one faces a situation when the ambient dimension is extremely high. Such problems often include approximating, sampling, or compressing functions on high-dimensional domains. Classical methods fail to be effective in this case due to the effect known as `curse of dimensionality'; hence new tools and algorithms need to be devised. Compressed sensing, which has gained great popularity in this century, is one example of a circle of ideas which make high-dimensional problems feasible. Methods which allow one to overcome the curse of dimensionality come from a mixture of mathematical fields: approximation, probability, functional and harmonic analysis, linear algebra, combinatorics, geometry, etc. In addition to pure mathematical interest, this field has great importance in numerous applications, in particular in data science and signal processing. Despite decades of research, many important questions in this area are still open. This workshop will bring together researchers in pure and applied mathematics, who attack high-dimensional problems.
