Stability is central to the study of numerical algorithms for solving
partial differential equations. But stability can be subtle and elusive. In
fact, for a number of important classes of PDE problems, no one has yet
succeeded in devising stable numerical methods. In developing our
understanding of stability and instability, a wide range of mathematical
ideas--with origins as diverse as functional analysis,differential geometry,
and algebraic topology--have been enlisted and developed. The talk will
explore the concept of stability of discretizations to PDE, its significance,
and recent advances in its understanding.
