The Kansas-Missouri-Nebraska (KUMUNU) Conference in PDE, Dynamical Systems and Applications

该奖项将支持与会者，特别是来自科学中代表性不足群体的研究生、初级研究人员、妇女和数学家，参加将于2017年4月22日至23日在内布拉斯加-林肯大学举行的第三届区域会议“KUMUNU偏微分方程式、动力系统和应用会议”(KUMUNU Link2017)。KUMUNU的缩写表示堪萨斯大学、密苏里州大学和内布拉斯加州大学的教职员工之间的合作。会议的网页是http://www.math.unl.edu/events/special/kumunu2017.与前两届KUMUNU会议类似，KUMUNU林肯2017会议的组织目的是让杰出的数学家向不同的数学家听众介绍他们各自的研究计划。KUMUNU林肯2017将成为知名科学家与研究生和早期职业教师以及较小地区学术机构成员互动的论坛。会议的目标之一是启动偏微分方程(PDE)专家之间的合作，如果不是因为他们各自参加了KUMUNU林肯2017，他们可能没有机会在科学环境下集体会面。预计这些新的合作将包括新近的博士，并促进他们的学术生涯的发展。被邀请的讲座将致力于以下领域的研究：(I)非线性偏微分方程解的长时间行为；(Ii)描述某些流体-结构相互作用的偏微分方程组的分析。特别是，大会发言人将讨论有关给定的非线性演化偏微分方程解的相应“轨迹”(解)的全局吸引集的存在的定性问题。一些演讲者将讨论某些流体结构PDE动力学的严格和数值分析，并介绍他们在这些研究方向上的最新发现。此外，研究非线性演化偏微分方程解的长期行为的研究人员和流体结构偏微分方程组专家之间的合作有望成为理解非线性流体结构偏微分方程解的渐近行为的新起点。KUMUNU林肯2017年预计的合作可能会为通过实验和数值观察到的流体结构现象提供新的数学见解。

This award will provide support for participants, especially graduate students, junior researchers, women and mathematicians from under-represented groups in the sciences, to attend the third regional conference "KUMUNU Conference in Partial Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems and Applications" (KUMUNU Lincoln 2017) to be held from April 22-23, 2017, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The abbreviation KUMUNU signifies the collaboration of faculty from the Universities of Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The Conference webpage is http://www.math.unl.edu/events/special/kumunu2017. Similarly to the two previous KUMUNU Conferences, the KUMUNU Lincoln 2017 Meeting is being organized with a view toward featuring eminent mathematicians who will deliver lectures on their respective research programs to a diverse audience of mathematicians. KUMUNU Lincoln 2017 will serve as a forum for interaction of established scientist with graduate students and early career faculty, as well as with members of smaller regional academic institutions. One of the objectives of the conference is the initiation of collaborations among Partial Differential Equations (PDE) specialists who, but for their respective participation in KUMUNU Lincoln 2017, might not otherwise have occasion to collectively meet in a scientific setting. It is anticipated that these nascent collaborations will involve recent PhDs and facilitate development of their academic careers. The invited talks will be devoted to the following areas of research: (i) long time behavior of solutions to nonlinear PDE; and (ii) analysis of those PDE systems that describe certain fluid-structure interactions. In particular, the Conference Speakers will address qualitative issues concerning the existence of global attracting sets for corresponding "trajectories" (solutions) of given nonlinear evolutionary PDE. Some speakers will address the rigorous and numerical analysis of certain fluid-structure PDE dynamics, and present their latest findings in these research directions. In addition, it is expected that the collaboration between researchers in long time behavior of nonlinear evolutionary PDE and fluid-structure PDE specialists will serve as a departure point from which new inroads will be made towards understanding the asymptotic behavior of solutions to nonlinear fluid-structure PDE dynamics. The projected collaborations arising from KUMUNU Lincoln 2017 could provide new mathematical insights into experimentally and numerically observed fluid-structure phenomena.
