U.S.-Venezuela Program: Workshop on Banach Space Theory; January 6-17, 1992; Merida, Venezuela

这笔奖金将部分支持将于1992年1月6日至17日在委内瑞拉梅里达洛斯安第斯大学举行的巴拿赫空间理论研究讲习班。美国的组织者是爱荷华大学的林宝禄（Bor-Luh Lin）；委内瑞拉的组织者是Jorge B. Vielma， ULA。研讨会的目的是促进高级和初级参与者之间以及美国和委内瑞拉数学家之间的合作研究和思想交流。这也将为两国机构之间建立未来的合作提供机会。研讨会将集中讨论巴拿赫空间研究的几个重要领域，如局部理论和这些空间的几何性质的研究，有界闭凸集的极端结构的研究（近25年来巴拿赫空间理论的一个重点），巴拿赫空间中良好等价范数和极小集的存在性，以及其他主题，其中巴拿赫空间的几何已经找到了许多重要的应用。研讨会参加者也将讨论巴拿赫空间技术在解析函数、非线性分析、偏微分方程和不动点理论中的应用。

This award will provide partial support for a research workshop on Banach space theory to be held at the Universidad de los Andes (ULA) in Merida, Venezuela, January 6-17, 1992. The U.S. organizer is Bor-Luh Lin, of the University of Iowa; the Venezuelan organizer is Jorge B. Vielma, ULA. The workshop's aim is to stimulate cooperative research and the exchange of ideas between senior and junior participants, as well as between U.S. and Venezuelan mathematicians. It also would provide an opportunity for establishing future cooperation between institutions of the two countries. The workshop will focus on several important areas of Banach space research, such as the local theory and the study of geometrical properties of these spaces, the study of extreme structures of bounded closed convex sets (a focus of Banach space theory in the last 25 years), the existence of nice equivalent norms and minimal sets in Banach spaces, and other topics in which the geometry of Banach spaces has found many important applications. Workshop participants will also discuss applications of Banach space techniques to analytic functions, nonlinear analysis, partial differential equations, and fixed point theory.
