This week musician Ed Sheeran won a copyright case brought against him claiming he stole his hit Shape of You. Back in 1976 George Harrison was not so lucky when he was ordered to pay compensation for 'stealing' aspects of The Chiffons He's So Fine when writing his 1970 hit My Sweet Lord. Generally it seems the law has resisted supporting claims of musical plagiarism and you can't help feeling Harrison might have got a better verdict today.
General Linear PDE with constant coefficients
Abstract
We review old and new properties of systems of linear partial differential equations with constant coefficients. We discuss solvability in different function classes, to observe very different solution spaces. We examine the existence of vector potentials in the different spaces, by which we mean systems Av=0 with the property v=Bu, where A and B are linear PDE operators with constant coefficients. Properties of the systems and their solutions are examined both from linear algebra and algebraic geometry angles. A special class of operators that are examined is that of constant rank operators, which are prevalent in the nonlinear analysis of compensated compactness theory. We will discuss some of the challenges of extending this theory to non-constant rank operators.
Sessions will take place as follows:
