Workshop: The Stability of Coherent Structures and Patterns

“连贯结构和模式的稳定性”(http://depts.washington.edu/bdecon/workshop2012/)研讨会将对研究生进行稳定性的重要方面的教育。研讨会将于2012年6月11日至12日在西雅图的华盛顿大学举行。研讨会将包括三个不同的迷你课程，由三位稳定领域的知名专家授课。玛格丽特·贝克(Heriott-Watt和波士顿大学)将介绍介绍性讲座，为听众提供共同的背景知识。Bjorn Sandstede(布朗大学)将演示AUTO软件在稳定性应用中的应用，Walter Strauss(布朗大学)将研究非线性和轨道稳定性的不同方面。稳定性在许多科学和工程分支中发挥着重要作用，包括流体力学的几个方面，信息的高速传输，以及MHD聚变设备的可行性。研讨会的目的是概述目前最先进的稳定性检查方法，并介绍一些广泛适用的新技术。这种形式将包括三位受邀的演讲者，针对研究生进行一系列演讲，但对来自不同学科的研究人员有用，如数学、工程、生物等。

The workshop on "The stability of coherent structures and patterns" (http://depts.washington.edu/bdecon/workshop2012/) will educategraduate students on important aspects of stability. It will take place at the University of Washington in Seattle, June 11-12, 2012.The workshop will consist of three different mini-courses, taught by three noted experts in the field of stability. Margaret Beck(Heriott-Watt and Boston University) will present introductory lectures providing a common background to the audience members. Bjorn Sandstede (Brown University) will demonstrate the use of the softwareAUTO for stability applications, and Walter Strauss (Brown University) will examine different aspects of nonlinear and orbital stability.Stability plays an essential role in many branches of science and engineering, including several aspects of fluid mechanics, high-speedtransmission of information, and feasibility of MHD fusion devices. The objective of the workshop is to give an overview of currentstate-of-the-art methods for examining stability, as well as to present some widely applicable new techniques. The format will consistof three invited speakers giving a series of lectures at a level aimed at graduate students but useful for researchers from a variety ofdisciplines, such as mathematics, engineering, biology, etc.
