NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences - "Solitons in Two-Dimensional Water Waves and Applications to Tsunami"

该奖项将支持将于2013年夏天在德克萨斯大学泛美分校举行的NSF/CMBS区域会议，主题是二维水波中的孤子及其在海啸中的应用。主要演讲人将是俄亥俄州立大学的小玉雄司教授。讲座将涵盖诸如Grassmannians、二维孤子解和稳定性以及马赫反射问题等领域。除了小玉博士的10个主要讲座外，该领域的其他专家也将发表演讲。国家科学基金会/建立信任措施区域会议系列的特点是专注于领先实践者的一个重要和及时的研究领域，出版了面向更广泛受众的专著，并通过区域招聘重点持续发挥作用和局部刺激。这次会议还将举行一场针对公众的关于日本海啸的演讲。这一奖项将支持大约30名与会者，其中许多人处于职业生涯的早期阶段。

This award will support an NSF/CMBS regional conference to be held at University of Texas - Pan American in the summer of 2013 on solitons in two-dimensional water waves and applications to tsunamis. The principal speaker will be Professor Yuji Kodama from Ohio State University. The lectures will cover such areas as Grassmannians, two-dimensional soliton solutions and stability, and the Mach reflection problem. In addition to the 10 main lectures by Dr. Kodama, lectures will be presented by other experts in the field. Hallmarks of the NSF/CBMS regional conference series are focus on a single important and timely area of research by a leading practitioner, a published monograph for a wider audience, and continued effect and local stimulation through regional recruitment emphasis. This conference will also entail a lecture aimed at the public on Japan's tsunamis. This award will support approximately 30 participants in the conference, many at early stages of their careers.
