Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
the study of stability of nonlinear waves in partial differential
equations, with a particular focus on multidimensional questions.
Prominent examples of nonlinear waves in higher-dimensional media
include vortices and spiral waves.  Multidimensional stability is an
important issue also for many nonlinear waves with one-dimensional
structure, such as solitary waves in the shallow-water equation,
viscous shock waves, solitons in integrable dispersive systems, and
fronts and pulses in reaction-diffusion systems. 

The workshop is organized by
Christopher K.R.T. Jones, Yuri Latushkin, Robert Pego, Arnd Scheel, 
and Bjorn Sandstede.

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
