UK Dynamical Systems Graduate School
Bifurcation, Symmetry and Pattern Formation
7-11th April 2008
The final
UK
Dynamical Systems Graduate School of 2007-08 will be held in the School of
Mathematics, University of Leeds, 7-11th April 2008. This school is intended
for PhD students interested in Nonlinear Dynamics, Bifurcation Theory, Pattern
Formation, and other applications where nonlinearity and/or symmetry is an
important feature. The courses are directed at Nonlinear Dynamics graduate
students of all levels, and have no non-standard prerequesites. Prior knowledge
is not required, but there should be something interesting in the courses even
for those students who already have a good background in the field. Research
students and post-docs are warmly encouraged to attend.
A list of participants and
School photo is available.
A programme is available.
The first four days of the School will comprise lectures covering a variety of
topics in Bifurcation, Symmetry and Pattern Formation:
- Local and global bifurcation theory
- Equivariant bifurcation theory and pattern formation
- Global bifurcations with symmetry
- Examples and applications
Speakers will include:
- Mikhail Ivanchenko
- Paul Matthews
- Alastair Rucklidge
- Thomas Wagenknecht
The last day of the meeting (Friday 11th April) will be a
PANDA
workshop on Coupled
Cell and Network Dynamics, which will include pedagogical lectures on this
topic by Mikhail Ivanchenko and Jonathan Dawes.
The meeting will begin in the early afternoon of 7th April, and will finish
around 4:30 on Friday 11th April, after the PANDA meeting.
If you would like to come to the School, please do let me know by the 14th
March.
Please circulate this announcement to anyone who may be interested in coming.
