Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, Concentration Phenomena, and Applications
FY 2018-19
Summary
The proposal focuses on theoretical and interdisciplinary studies of concentration phenomena in Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (NPDEs). Driven by reaction, diffusion and geometry, concentration phenomena appear as one of the central features in various phenomena in differential geometry (bubbling in Yamabe problem), mathematical biology (Spots and Stripes), chemistry and physics, These topics are one of the most important and active areas in the field of NPDEs. On the theoretical side, we expect to make substantial progress on fundamental problems such as classifying entire solutions and geometrization program of elliptic equations, and maintain our edge in key areas; on the applied side, our investigations will explore new frontiers in mathematical biology, material science, image processing and social sciences. We aim to excel in some of key research areas in pure and applied mathematics, in particular to become a leading centre for applied analysis and NPDEs internationally.*
