Stability Criteria for Multi-Dimensional Waves and Patterns
May 16 to May 20, 2005
AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Christopher K.R.T. Jones, Yuri Latushkin, Robert Pego, Arnd Scheel, and Bjorn Sandstede

Workshop topics:
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. 

Application deadline:
February 5, 2005
