This summer program provides 5 days of concentrated study of topics in Analysis of Partial Differential Equations at the graduate level.
The school will offer 4 courses on topics at the forefront of current research in Partial Differential Equations. Lectures will be followed by daily discussion sessions. During discussion sessions students will be divided in small groups and work on sets of problems related to the courses topics.
For organizational purposes the school will be able to accomodate only a limited number of participants.
Registration is open at this link.
Organizers: Maria Gualdani and Stefania Patrizi
Lecturers (advanced courses): Irene Gamba (UT Austin), Alexander Kiselev (Duke Univ.), Luis Silvestre (Univ. of Chicago), Hung Tran (Univ. Madison, Wisconsin).
Title: Periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations: basic theory and some recent progresses (Hung Tran)
Abstract: I will first give an introduction to front propagations, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, and homogenization theory. I will then describe the basic theory and some recent progress in periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We show that the optimal rate of convergence is $O(\varepsilon)$ in the convex setting. We then give a minimalistic explanation that the class of centrally symmetric polygons with rational vertices and nonempty interior is admissible as effective fronts in two dimensions (if time permits).
