Abstract Nonlinear partial and ordinary differential equations appear in mathematical models for many problems in science and engineering.
Many interesting phenomena are due to the nonlinearity of the equations.
The desire to describe and predict such phenomena by mathematical analysis of the equations and their solutions continues to have a profound impact on the research objectives in both pure and applied mathematics. This has strongly influenced the development of the modern theory of nonlinear partial differential equations, as well as that of finite and infinite dimensional dynamical systems, nonlinear functional analysis, and numerical analysis. This conference brings together a group of experts from different fields in mathematics, stimulating interaction and new collaborations in an exciting field.
