2006 CNA Summer School Probabilistic and Analytical Perspectives on Contemporary PDEs

The Center for Nonlinear Analysis is organizing its third Summer School to be held at Carnegie Mellon University, May 29-June 6, 2006.

Topics will cover:

Essential uses of probability in analysis

Quantitative unique continuation for elliptic, parabolic and dispersive equations, and applications

Adaptive finite element methods for elliptic PDEs

Fully nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations and applications

Interacting particle systems and their scaling limits

The list of lecturers includes:

Krzysztof Burdzy, Washington University

Carlos Kenig, University of Chicago

Ricardo Nochetto, University of Maryland

Panagiotis Souganidis, University of Texas at Austin

Srinivasa Varadhan, New York University

Graduate students and postdocs are encouraged to contribute a presentation for this conference. The deadline for submission of contributed abstracts is March 1, 2006.

Advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to apply for financial support. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2006.
