US/Colombia: Workshop on Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations; July 23-27, 2007

本提案要求为2007年7月23日至27日在哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳举行的非线性偏微分方程研讨会提供资金。该研讨会由Harvey Mudd学院的Alfonso Castro博士和哥伦比亚国立大学的Jorge Cossio博士在哥伦比亚麦德林组织，将成为第七届美洲微分方程和非线性分析学院（VII ASDE）的一部分，这是在该地区举行的年度会议。会议将涵盖各种主题，从反应微分方程到非线性偏微分方程，逆问题和动力系统。这次研讨会应该成为美国和拉丁美洲研究人员未来合作的催化剂。该研讨会预计将吸引来自该地区几乎所有国家的顶尖数学研究人员和学生。每位参与者将就其专业知识的主题进行讲座，从而引出当前感兴趣的开放问题。在研讨会上建立的联系有望导致未来的合作，并为研究生和博士后学生提供在其他国家深造的机会。该奖项由数学科学部（DMS）和国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）联合资助。

This proposal requests funding for a Workshop on Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations to take place in Cartagena, Colombia -- July 23-27, 2007. Organized by Dr. Alfonso Castro of Harvey Mudd College and Dr. Jorge Cossio from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, in Medellin, Colombia, the workshop will be part of the VII Americas School in Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis (VII ASDE), an annual conference held in the region. The meeting will cover a variety of topics, from reaction-differential equations to nonlinear partial differential equations, inverse problems, and dynamical systems. The workshop should be a catalyst for future collaboration between U.S. and Latin American researchers.The workshop is expected to attract leading mathematics researchers and students from virtually all the countries in the region. Each participant will present lectures on topics of his/her expertise leading to open questions of current interest. The contacts established at the workshop are expected to lead to future collaboration and opportunities for graduate and postdoctoral students to advance their studies in other countries. This award is being jointly funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).
