Focussing on the fundamental analysis of PDE, and numerical algorithms for their solutions.
The Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE aims to create a vibrant and stimulating research environment and provide leadership in the area of nonlinear PDE within the UK.
PDEs are ubiquitous in almost all applications of mathematics, where they provide a natural mathematical description of many phenomena. The behaviour of every material object, with length scales ranging from sub-atomic to astronomical and timescales ranging from picoseconds to millennia, can be modelled by PDE or by equations having similar features.
The centre focuses on the fundamental analysis of PDE, and numerical algorithms for their solution, together with specific PDE arising in areas as wide-ranging as geometry, relativity, finance, image analysis, learning processes and fluid mechanics, including geophysical, biological and polymeric flows.
Amongst other initiatives we run an active visitor programme, an events programme, a dedicated technical report series and host national events and visitors calendars for the PDE community.
News
- We are pleased to announce that Gui-Qiang G. Chen has been appointed to Professorship in the Analysis of Partial Differential Equations. See the MI announcement. See the announcement in the University of Oxford Gazette.
- The Second South West Regional PDE Winter School will be held in Swansea from 15-16 January 2010. Minicourses will be given by Nina Uraltseva (St. Petersburg), Giuseppe Mingione (Parma) with invited lectures from Jean Van Schaftingen (Louvain-la-Neuve) and Giuseppe Buttazzo (Pisa, Italy).
