The XI Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis

该奖项将主要支持美国机构的研究生、博士后和初级研究人员参加将于2017年8月12日至19日在加拿大阿尔伯塔大学举行的第十一届美洲微分方程和非线性分析会议。本次会议是美洲系列会议的一部分，该系列会议于1994年在墨西哥塔斯科开始，并定期举行会议。美洲会议系列已成为促进北美和拉丁美洲研究人员之间的科学进步和合作以及培养研究生的一种手段。经过美洲各国研究人员几年来的共同努力，这个系列会议在实现其目标方面取得了极大的成功。许多从初级研究员开始参与该系列的研究人员受益匪浅，并成为各自领域的专家；目前，他们在系列会议的研究和培训活动中做出了重大贡献，发挥了积极作用。该系列会议一直以参与者的多样性而著称。40%的全体会议讲师是来自美洲的女数学家。这次会议将有来自少数群体的初级和高级数学家的大力参与，其中西班牙裔和非洲裔美国人的比例很大，并将为新的科学合作提供一个很好的机会。第十一届美洲微分方程会议专门讨论非线性应用微分方程和动力系统。这些主题将包括分析和计算问题，并涵盖微分方程的一些最重要的应用，以及一些最新的数学分析技术。这些活动将包括第一部分的6个迷你课程，内容包括哈密顿偏微分方程和水波的最新发展、不变流形、同步和应用、高维数据、空间结构动力学、持续同源性、对可传染给人类的动物疾病的传播模式建模。第二部分包括20次全体会议，讨论当前广泛研究课题的最新进展；将有8场主题会议，由各自研究领域的顶尖专家组织。讲座和海报会议也被设计为更多的初级研究人员提供额外的独特机会来展示他们的工作。会议网址为：http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/activities/17-18/xi-americas-conference

This award will mainly support graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior researchers based at US institutions to participate in the XI Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis that will take place at the University of Alberta, Canada, August 12 to 19, 2017. This conference is part of the Americas Conference Series that started in 1994 in Taxco, Mexico and have had meetings on a regular basis. The Americas Conference Series has served as a means to promote the progress of science and the collaboration among researchers from North America and Latin America, and to train graduate students. Through several years of concerted efforts from researchers of all Americas countries, this conference series has been extremely successful in achieving its goals. Many researchers who started their participation in the series as junior researchers have benefited greatly and have become experts in their fields; now they are making major contributions and play active roles in the research and training activities of the conference series. The Conference Series has always been distinguished by diversity of participants. Forty percent of plenary lecturers are women mathematicians from the Americas. The conference will have a strong participation of junior and senior mathematicians from minority groups, with a large percentage of Hispanics and African American individuals, and will provide a great opportunity for new scientific collaborations. The XI Americas Conference on Differential Equations is devoted to the subject of nonlinear applied differential equations and dynamical systems. The topics will include analytical and computational issues and cover some of the most important applications of differential equations as well as some of the latest mathematical analysis techniques for their study. The activities will include a first part with 6 mini-courses on recent developments of Hamiltonian PDE and water waves, invariant manifolds, synchronizations and applications, high dimensional data, dynamics of spatial structures, and persistent homology, modeling spread patterns of animal diseases that are communicable to human beings. The second part includes 20 plenary talks on recent advances in a broad spectrum of current research topics; there will be 8 theme sessions organized by leading experts in respective research areas. Contributed talks and poster sessions have also been designed to provide additional unique opportunity for more junior researchers to present their work.
