Workshop: The Stability of Coherent Structures and Patterns

关于“连贯结构和模式的稳定性”的讲习班（http://depts.washington.edu/bdecon/workshop2012/）将教育研究生关于稳定性的重要方面。会议将于2012年6月11日至12日在西雅图的华盛顿大学举行。讲习班将包括三个不同的小型课程，由稳定领域的三位著名专家讲授。Margaret Beck（Heriott-Watt和波士顿大学）将为观众提供一个共同的背景介绍。Bjorn Sandstede（布朗大学）将演示软件auto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。稳定性在科学和工程的许多分支中起着至关重要的作用，包括流体力学，信息高速传输和MHD聚变装置可行性的几个方面。研讨会的目的是概述目前最先进的稳定性检测方法，以及介绍一些广泛适用的新技术。该形式将由三位受邀演讲者组成，他们将进行一系列针对研究生的讲座，但对数学、工程、生物学等不同学科的研究人员也很有用。

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.
