Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

The scientific program will center around mathematical and numerical aspects of various classes of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE). The symposium will bring together leading experts to learn about current trends in the field. Relevant topics include (i) nonlinear hyperbolic equations arising in fluid mechanics and general relativity, including questions of existence, uniqueness, regularity, formation of singularities, and asymptotic behaviour of solutions; (ii) nonlinear elliptic equations and variational methods with applications to mathematical physics, relativistic quantum mechanics, and quantum chemistry; (iii) construction and analysis of numerical methods for nonlinear PDE. The organizing committee consists of Helge Holden (NTNU) and Kenneth H. Karlsen (UiO).
