Emphasis Year: Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations and Their Applications

NSF奖摘要- DMS-0204455数学科学：重点年度：非线性偏微分方程及其应用摘要0204455陈此奖项支持参加2002年秋季在西北大学举行的研讨会和2003年春季在西北大学举行的国际会议。 这些会议是非线性偏微分方程及其应用的重点年的一部分，将汇集能够探索其领域之间联系的各种应用数学家和分析师。 讨论将致力于非线性偏微分方程和流体动力学，动力学理论，自由边界问题，相变现象，生物物理学，建模和计算，以及非线性分析，近似理论，几何测量理论和谐波分析等不同领域之间的新的连接的发展。 跨学科会议将为高级和初级研究人员之间的交流和合作提供极好的机会。

NSF Award Abstract - DMS-0204455Mathematical Sciences: Emphasis Year: Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations and Their ApplicationsAbstract0204455 ChenThis award supports participants in a workshop, held in Fall 2002, and an international conference, held in Spring 2003, at Northwestern University. The meetings, part of an emphasis year on nonlinear partial differential equations and applications, will bring together a diverse group of applied mathematicians and analysts who are able to explore connections between their fields. Discussion will be devoted to the development of new connections between nonlinear partial differential equations and such diverse areas as fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, free boundary problems, phase transition phenomena, biophysics, and modeling and computation, as well as nonlinear analysis, approximation theory, geometric measure theory, and harmonic analysis. The interdisciplinary meetings will provide excellent opportunities for communication and collaboration between senior and junior researchers.
