9302588 Concus The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from the international scientific community who are active in geometric analysis, continuum mechanics, calculus of variations, and in nonlinear partial differential equations. All of these fields interrelate, sometimes in remarkable and surprising ways that have led to striking and unexpected discoveries with physical implications. One such discovery was verified last year in a microgravity fluid mechanics experiment carried out aboard an orbiting NASA Space Shuttle flight. This experiment and also many other such activities arose largely from the pioneering work of Prof. Robert Finn, to whom the conference is dedicated. We anticipate that the proposed conference will set the stage for new scientific advances of both mathematical and practical physical significance. An important part of our objective is to encourage graduate students to participate in the meeting; we hope thus to spark their active interest in the many new and exciting discoveries that are now being made or waiting to be made.

小行星9302588 本次会议的目的是汇集来自国际科学界的研究人员谁是活跃在几何分析，连续介质力学，变分法，并在非线性偏微分方程。所有这些领域都相互关联，有时以显着和令人惊讶的方式，导致了惊人的和意想不到的发现与物理意义。去年，在NASA航天飞机轨道飞行中进行的微重力流体力学实验证实了这一发现。这个实验以及许多其他类似的活动主要来自罗伯特·芬恩教授的开创性工作，会议是专门为他准备的。我们预计，拟议中的会议将为数学和实际物理意义的新科学进展奠定基础。我们的目标的一个重要组成部分是鼓励研究生参加会议;我们希望因此激发他们对许多新的和令人兴奋的发现的积极兴趣，这些发现现在正在进行或等待进行。
