A crucial question is, for instance, under which circumstances one can avoid a curse of dimensionality. The Autumn School on the "Introduction to Information-Based Complexity" gives an introduction to basic concepts in information-based complexity, and illustrate some of the theory by examples such as high-dimensional numerical integration or function approximation. The school can be viewed as introduction to the workshop "Multivariate Algorithms and Information-Based Complexity", which takes place at the Johann Radon Institute (RICAM), Linz, Austria, on November 5-9, 2018. Lectures will be given by Prof. Dr. Aicke Hinrichs (JKU, Linz) and PD Dr. Peter Kritzer (RICAM, Linz). The Autumn School is part of the training activities in the Innovative Training Network ROMSOC ("Reduced Order Modelling, Simulation and Optimization of coupled System"e) funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The registration for the school is free and the school is open for all interested PhD and Master students.
