Proposal for a Five-Day Conference: Challenges for Nonlinear PDE and Analysis

该奖项提供资金，以帮助支付美国参与者，特别是妇女，研究生，博士后和初级教师的费用，在国际会议“非线性偏微分方程和分析的挑战”，将于2011年6月20日至24日，在巴黎巴黎的高等师范学院，法国。本次会议将集中讨论偏微分方程理论中的各种主题（例如，变分法和最优输运;抛物型和椭圆型偏微分方程的定性性质和粘性解;耗散、色散和流体方程的动力学问题;力学、物理学和生物学中的前沿传播和输运）。提案中提到的所有专题领域都是分析的核心，也是当前研究的极其活跃的主题。会议的形式使青年人有充分的机会发言，并以其他方式参与会议的各种活动。

This award provides funding to help defray the expenses of US participants, especially women, graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty, in the international conference "Challenges for Nonlinear PDE and Analysis" that will take place from June 20-24, 2011, at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, France.This conference will focus on a variety of topics in the theory of partial differential equations (e.g., calculus of variations and optimal transport; qualitative properties and viscosity solutions of parabolic and elliptic PDE; dynamical issues for dissipative, dispersive, and fluid equations; front propagation and transport in mechanics, physics, and biology). All of the topic areas cited in the proposal are central to analysis and extremely active subjects of current research. The format of the meeting is such that young people will have ample opportunities to speak and be otherwise engaged in the various conference activities.
