Description: Abstract: "The first Notre Dame workshop on Mathematical methods in nonlinear optics was held April 18-21 1996, at the University of Notre Dame. It was sponsored by the University of Notre Dame, BRIMS, Hewlett Packard Research Lab and Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los Alamos National Lab and National Science Foundation (NSF). The workshop met in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame Symposium on Current and Future Directions in Applied Mathematics along with a variety of other workshops on various topics in Applied Mathematics. The workshop assembled forty one leading mathematical scientists in nonlinear optics and related areas to discuss relevant advanced mathematical techniques and theory for these areas. During the workshop Bill Kath and Yuji Kodama provided tutorial reviews of Mathematical models and techniques used in the area of nonlinear fiber communications. These talks were extremely well received for their emphasis on the origins of models and issues in this area. Excellent contributions were made by experimental groups working with both AT & T and German Telekom on the development of communication systems. These talks provided direct links to questions important in applications for the mathematical participants and engendered lively discussions. New ideas in dynamical systems were strongly represented. Also, several other important new areas in nonlinear optics such as pattern formation and the analysis of systems that combine continuous and discrete properties were discussed by leaders in these fields. Many of the participants have made new contacts which allow them to learn and contribute to new areas of applied mathematics. We believe the meeting made a positive impact on the research directions of many of the participants."
