A Conference in Nonlinear Waves

该奖项为将于2018年5月14-18日在布朗大学举行的国际会议《非线性波》提供部分资金。非线性波动方程为广泛的自然现象提供了数学描述。会议的目的是汇聚与非线性波有关的各种领域的领先专家，从动力学方程到水波理论，再到经典的非线性色散波。这次会议将对能够与该领域的世界领袖互动的初级研究人员特别有益。这次会议将为学生和初级研究人员提供一个机会，包括那些来自数学团体(女性、少数民族)中代表性较低的人，以了解最新的成果。这次会议有两个目标：(I)综述与保守发展偏微分方程组有关的各个领域最近令人兴奋的新发展，特别强调将一个领域的结果和方法交流到其他密切相关但不同的数学领域，(Ii)确定和突出在非线性波中有前途的未来研究方向。预计将有不同职业水平的数学家参加这次会议。会议的网站是：https://www.math.brown.edu/~benoit.pausader/nwconference。

This award provides partial funding for the international conference "Nonlinear Waves" to be held at Brown University, May 14-18, 2018. Nonlinear wave equations provide a mathematical description for a broad range of natural phenomena. The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading experts in a wide variety of areas connected to nonlinear waves, from kinetic equations, to water wave theory, to classical nonlinear dispersive waves. This conference will be especially beneficial for junior researchers who will be able to interact with the world leaders in the field. The conference will provide an opportunity for students and junior researchers, including those from underrepresented in mathematics groups (women, minorities), to get abreast with the latest achievementsThis conference has two goals: (i) to survey recent exciting new developments in various domains pertaining to conservative evolution partial differential equations, with a particular emphasis on communicating the results and methods from one domain to other mathematical domains which are closely related but different, (ii) to identify and highlight promising future research directions in nonlinear waves. A wide array of mathematicians at different levels of their career are expected to attend this conference.  The conference website is: https://www.math.brown.edu/~benoit.pausader/nwconference
