Winterschool: Evolution Equations in Applied Context


Since their inception in the 18th  century, Partial Differential Equations have been hugely successful in modeling spatially extended physical systems. Concurrently, and thanks also to the concerted effort undertaken by analysts in the 20th century, this has become part of the theory of evolutionary systems and is an integral component of mathematical analysis.


To a large extent, the success of evolution equations is due to the fact that they are able to incorporate the nonlinearities inherent in the world they model. This winter school focuses on certain behavioral aspects of nonlinear evolution equations arising in a wide array of applications. It is aimed at Ph.D. students and advanced Master's students in Mathematics and Physics, whose research interests focus on nonlinear analysis and dynamical systems.


The morning lectures cover the theory underpinning delay equations and population dynamics, geometric evolution of structured interfaces, and the dynamics of modulated wave trains. The afternoon sessions expand - in a hands-on fashion - on the topics covered in these morning lectures. The activities will be concluded by a series of evening research-level talks on selected days.
